Description: CABO Cable One January 17, 2026
Cable One, Inc. (NASDAQ:CABO) operates under the Sparklight brand, delivering residential and business broadband, voice, and video services across the United States. Its residential portfolio includes high-speed internet with a Wi-Fi-mesh enhancement, traditional and IPTV video offerings (including a cloud-based DVR that streams to devices like Amazon Fire Stick and Apple TV without a set-top box), and VoIP phone service. On the business side, the firm supplies data, voice, and video solutions to small-mid-market firms, enterprises, and wholesale carriers. The company was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.
Key quantitative points (as of the most recent 10-K filing, Q4 2023) are: • Approximately 1.5 million total broadband subscribers, with a modest 2-3% annual growth rate driven by continued rural fiber upgrades. • Consolidated revenue of $1.2 billion, of which ~70% comes from data services, reflecting the industry-wide shift toward higher-margin broadband over legacy video. • Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) for residential broadband stands near $55/month, a figure that lags the national broadband ARPU benchmark of ~$65, suggesting upside potential if pricing or upsell rates improve. • Macro drivers include persistent demand for high-speed connectivity (e.g., remote work, streaming) and inflation-sensitive consumer spending, which could pressure discretionary video bundles but favor core internet services.
