Warnings

⚠ Debt is 6.5x annual operating profit. Because the company carries so much debt, even small shifts in business value cause big swings in the stock price.
⚠ Operating profit only covers interest payments 1.4 times over. If the company needs to refinance at higher rates, it could struggle to service its debt.
⚠ Only 20% of operating profit turns into actual cash for shareholders. Big investments and interest payments consume most of what the business earns.
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 $18.00 (from 20 analysts). Our estimate is 54% 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
