Description: CABO Cable One November 14, 2025
Cable One Inc. (NYSE:CABO) operates under the Sparklight brand, delivering residential and business broadband, voice, and video services across the United States. Its portfolio includes Wi-Fi mesh solutions, traditional and IPTV video offerings, and a cloud-based DVR that streams to devices such as Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV and Android TVs without a set-top box.
As of Q3 2024, Sparklight reported approximately 1.2 million total broadband subscribers, with residential ARPU (average revenue per user) around $63 and an EBITDA margin of roughly 38 %. The company has been expanding its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) footprint, adding about 150 k new fiber-enabled premises in the past year, which is a key driver of future revenue growth.
Industry-wide, broadband demand remains resilient due to remote-work trends and increasing video-streaming consumption, while inflation-linked cost pressures on network upgrades pose a headwind. For a deeper quantitative dive, you may want to explore ValueRay’s analyst toolkit to assess how these dynamics could affect CABO’s valuation.
