Cable One drew $700 million from its $1.25 billion revolving credit facility on 17 and 18 September 2026 to strengthen cash reserves and maintain financial flexibility. The US broadband provider tapped its 2023 credit agreement ahead of the facility's February 2028 maturity whilst keeping additional borrowing capacity in reserve. The company retained the option to repay part or all of the drawdown before maturity. Cable One provides internet, video, and voice services primarily to residential and business customers in smaller and mid-sized US markets. The move demonstrates the company's strategy to manage its balance sheet through its revolving credit line as it navigates ongoing subscriber and revenue challenges.
