Warnings

⚠ Debt is 5.0x 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 $240.00 (from 24 analysts). Our estimate is 28% 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
