Q1 Net Income Plunges to $240K

Analysis · ATEX · Technology
Anterix's quarterly profit nearly vanished compared to last year's $25.2M, as non-cash gains from swapping narrowband spectrum for broadband licenses fell sharply. The core spectrum leasing business is steady but small, with $1.96M in revenue. The real story is the $197.8M in contracted future revenue and a strong cash position of $116M, which provides ample runway. However, the adoption of 10b5-1 trading plans by the CEO and CFO, even for modest amounts, adds a cautious signal amid a backdrop of heavy insider selling over the past 90 days.
