From a fundamental point of view, Cable One stock’s valuation is still on the higher end, despite CABO’s price dropping significantly over the past year and currently hovering near its 52-week low. Cable One stock is beginning to reach a more reasonable value, with the broadband company producing consistent top and bottom-line growth over the past few years.
However, Cable One has a relatively weak balance sheet, with $449 million in cash and $4.01 billion in total debt.
