Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 26/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Cable One Inc has an operating margin of -13.8%, meaning the company retains $-14 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 28.0% the prior year.

Growth

Cable One Inc's revenue declined 4.9% year-over-year, from $1.6B to $1.5B. This contraction results in a growth score of 25/100.

Leverage

Cable One Inc has a moderate D/E ratio of 2.24. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 56/100.

Liquidity

Cable One Inc's current ratio of 0.40 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 2/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

Cable One Inc converts 18.5% of revenue into free cash flow ($278.1M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 71/100.

Returns

Cable One Inc generates a -24.9% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from 0.8% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

Cable One Inc passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

-1.58x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Cable One Inc generates $-1.58 in operating cash flow ($563.3M OCF vs -$356.5M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-1.6x

Cable One Inc earns $-1.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$207.4M vs $130.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
