In other recent news, Cable One Inc. reported a significant decline in its financial performance for the first quarter of 2025. The company’s total revenues fell by 5.9% to $380.6 million, compared to $404.3 million in the same period of 2024. Net income saw a drastic decrease of 93%, dropping from $37.4 million to $2.6 million year-over-year. Following these results, Cable One announced the suspension of its quarterly cash dividend, a decision that is expected to save approximately $67 million annually. This move was part of a strategy to accelerate debt reduction and invest in growth initiatives, but it led to concerns among investors and analysts.

S&P Global Ratings downgraded Cable One’s credit rating from ’BB’ to ’BB-’ due to weak operating performance and a negative outlook. The downgrade reflects the company’s challenges with increased competition from fiber-to-the-home and fixed wireless access providers, which have impacted earnings and subscriber numbers. KeyBanc and Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James also downgraded Cable One’s stock, citing disappointing first-quarter results and the unexpected dividend suspension. Despite these challenges, Cable One’s management remains optimistic about achieving growth in broadband revenue and subscriber numbers throughout the year. The company plans to introduce new products, such as Flex (NASDAQ:FLEX) Connect, to address market challenges and increase customer retention.
