Company News
Cable One's fair value estimate has been cut 30% to $111.75 from $159.25, reflecting a more cautious outlook amid mixed analyst views. TD Cowen reduced its price target to $142 from $260, citing softer broadband average revenue per user and rising competition, whilst BNP Paribas downgraded the stock to Underperform with an $80 target. Some positive signals emerged, with TD Cowen noting mostly in-line results and improving subscriber gross adds and churn trends. However, analysts remain concerned about broader industry headwinds affecting cable operators. Meanwhile, Cable One's Sparklight brand launched a prepaid mobile service starting at $15 monthly and rolled out eero Wi-Fi 7 across its footprint. The company also appointed James Holanda as CEO, expected to join by 31 March 2026.
Cable One reported improved fourth-quarter 2025 results, with residential broadband connections showing year-over-year growth and disconnects declining significantly from the previous quarter. However, net subscriber figures remained negative despite the improvement from earlier 2025 trends. CFO Todd Koetje noted the company continues facing challenges from a difficult macroeconomic environment, including competitive pressure from fixed wireless providers and fibre overbuilds. The earnings call also introduced new CEO Jim Halenda to stakeholders. The company discussed forward-looking plans including anticipated asset sales, a merger between Point Broadband and Clearwave Fiber, future financial performance, capital allocation policy and financing plans. Koetje highlighted ongoing transformation initiatives aimed at building upon changes implemented over the past two years.
Cable One has granted equity awards worth approximately $10 million to James A. Holanda as an inducement for accepting the position of chief executive officer. The awards were approved by the board of directors under NYSE's employment inducement exemption. The package consists of 60% performance-based restricted stock units and 40% time-based restricted stock units, with vesting terms matching those of other executives in the company's 2026 annual grant cycle. The maximum aggregate number of shares subject to these awards will not exceed 169,000 shares of Cable One common stock. Cable One is a broadband communications provider serving over one million residential and business customers across 24 states through its Sparklight brand.
Cable One, an internet, cable TV and phone provider, reported fourth-quarter revenue of $363.7 million, missing analyst estimates of $368.3 million and declining 6.1% year on year. The company posted a GAAP loss of $1.35 per share, significantly below the $6.64 consensus estimate. The company's residential data subscribers fell to 899,700, down 55,300 year on year, whilst residential video subscribers dropped to 55,900. Over the past two years, Cable One's residential data subscribers declined an average of 3.4% annually, with video subscribers falling 30.8% annually. Operating margin decreased to 25.2% from 26.2% in the prior-year quarter. Analysts expect revenue to decline 3.1% over the next 12 months, though this represents an improvement on the company's two-year trend.
Cable One, operating as Sparklight, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire full ownership of Mega Broadband Investments, which operates as Vyve Broadband, for $495 million. The Phoenix-based broadband communications provider serves over one million residential and business customers across 24 states. The acquisition will expand Cable One's operating footprint into markets across the Southeast, Northwest and Mid-South United States. The company expects the deal to unlock efficiency opportunities through increased scale and enhance long-term growth prospects by complementing its existing network and operating philosophy. Cable One aims to bridge the digital divide and promote connectivity through its infrastructure and technology.
