|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 06 | Acquisition announcement | Positive | -7.0% | Agreed to acquire Clearwave Fiber’s Southern Illinois fiber operations and network. |
| Nov 06 | Earnings release | Negative | -7.0% | Q3 2025 revenues and EBITDA declined year over year despite higher net income. |
| Oct 23 | Earnings call notice | Neutral | +1.5% | Announced timing and access details for the Q3 2025 earnings call. |

Reactions to news have been mixed: strategic and acquisition updates have sometimes sold off, while weak earnings with impairments have previously seen positive price responses.
Over the last six months, CABO has reported challenging financial trends, including Q2 2025 revenue of $381.1M with a large net loss driven by $456.2M in impairments, followed by Q3 2025 revenue of $376.0M and net income of $86.5M aided by investment gains. The stock reacted negatively to the Q3 report and an acquisition of Clearwave Fiber’s Southern Illinois operations, but positively to earlier weak Q2 results. Today’s channel-focused program launch fits into an ongoing effort to grow connectivity and business services.
