OPTU: Notes from our post 4Q callback with management

We hosted Dennis Mathew, CEO of Optimum, and Marc Sirota, CFO of Optimum, on an investor call last week. In this short note, we summarize some of the key takeaways from the call.

OPTU: Model update post 4Q results

Earlier today, we published our quick take on Optimum’s 4Q results and our thoughts following the call note. The big story from today’s results and call is that management hasn’t provided guidance for 2026 EBITDA. Our EBITDA estimate is relatively unchanged, but we expect consensus EBITDA estimate to head lower and land closer to our estimate. In this note, we cover changes to our estimates, and comparisons with guidance and consensus. We also look at Optimum’s relative valuation in comparison w...

OPTU: Missed Opportunities

We were looking forward to Optimum management sharing healthy guidance for 2026 EBITDA on the call but were disappointed. A lack of guidance stokes investor uncertainty.

Management has also been reluctant to reveal accounting and cash flow details around Lightpath AI hyperscaler contracts. We see this as a missed opportunity. In this note, we discuss broadba...

OPTU 4Q25 Quick Take: Strong Financials

Optimum’s broadband losses were higher than stale consensus estimates. Management had said at an industry conference late last year that broadband losses will be elevated in 4Q and the losses came in slightly better than we expected. Revenue was quite strong, driven mainly by higher broadband and business services revenue. Broadband ARPU growth of 2.8% was much higher than expected. EBITDA was just above consensus estimates. We expect the stock to trade up on results, but where it winds up for t...

ATUS: Lowering subscriber estimates following 3Q results

We published a comprehensive note last week where we discussed whether Optimum can achieve their 2025 EBITDA guidance. We laid out all the revenue and cost items that can help Optimum achieve close to double digit EBITDA growth in 4Q. In this note, we cover changes to our estimates, and comparisons with guidance and consensus. We also look at Optimum’s relative valuation in comparison with peers, and what we believe is needed to justify Optimum’s current valuation.
