Cogent Communications reported third-quarter 2026 service revenue of $231.2 million, down 1.8% from the second quarter and down 4.4% from a year earlier, and a net loss of $(0.62) per share. The company's board suspended its quarterly dividend on November 4, 2026, which removes a cash return for shareholders. Adjusted EBITDA rose 3.9% sequentially to $73.9 million, but the second quarter included a $130.7 million gain on a sale of data centers, so the sequential EPS comparison is distorted.
Service revenue was $231.2 million for Q3 2026, versus $235.6 million for Q2 2026 and $241.9 million... see note: Q3 2025 service revenue was not stated as a figure in the release text, so use only the reported percentage decline of 4.4% ye
Basic net loss per share was $(0.62) for Q3 2026, compared with basic net earnings of $1.39 in Q2 2026 and a basic net loss of $(0.87) in Q3 2025.
EBITDA, as adjusted, was $73.9 million, up 3.9% from Q2 2026, with a margin of 32.0%.
The Board voted on November 4, 2026 to suspend the dividend program.
