Plain-Language Summary

At 7.0x EV/EBITDA on $0B EBITDA, enterprise value is $2B. After subtracting $1B net debt, equity value is $6.01 per share.

Warnings

⚠ Debt is 4.6x 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 2.4 times over. If the company needs to refinance at higher rates, it could struggle to service its debt.

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.

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
