AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Cable One, Inc. (CABO)

Cable One posts $431.8 million Q3 net loss as revenue falls 11.7%

Negative Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Cable One reported third quarter 2026 revenue of $332.2 million, down 11.7% from a year earlier, and a net loss of $431.8 million, compared with net income of $86.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The loss reflects $412.1 million of non-cash asset impairments, and the filing says existing liquidity will be insufficient to repay debt maturing from November 2027 onward without financing or extensions, and that Chapter 11 relief may become necessary.
