Warnings

⚠ Debt is 6.6x annual operating profit. Because the company carries so much debt, even small shifts in business value cause big swings in the stock price.
ℹ We value this business based on total operating profit relative to total enterprise value (debt + equity). Profit-per-share metrics are unreliable when debt makes up most of the company's value.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $38.67 (from 31 analysts). Our estimate is 72% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

Key Risks

  • Debt refinancing at higher rates compresses equity value quickly
  • EBITDA flatters — capex, interest, and taxes eat the cash flow
  • Cord-cutting and wireless substitution are structural headwinds for cable
