Prosper Stars & Stripes Christopher E. Hillary | “Cable One (CABO) was the second largest contributor to our short book during the quarter. Cable One provides cable broadband in rural markets, where it once enjoyed pricing power and high barriers to entry. But industries are dynamic and new competition has changed the company's position. Our process kept Cable One on our focus list through that transformation and allowed us to revisit it repeatedly; we have shorted the stock five times over the last four years. Increasing competition is an excellent short driver, and Cable One faced pressure from multiple directions at once, including fiber overbuilders, fixed wireless, and satellite internet. Broadband is a commodity, so when lower-priced alternatives entered its markets, Cable One had no meaningful way to differentiate and began losing share. In Q1 2026, the company reported a 7% revenue decline and an earnings decline of approximately 33%. Management compounded the damage by recognizing the shift late and allocating capital to asset purchases at peak multiples. The combination of leverage, subscriber losses, and falling prices have pressured margins and now threatens the company's terminal value. We covered our position during the quarter.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Aug 18, 2026 | View Pitch |
