Analysis · CABO · Technology
Cable One is under acute pressure: a $1.16 billion Q2 net loss after $598 million of impairments left stockholders' equity at $326 million, CoBank sued over roughly $1.1 billion in secured credit, and a federal judge temporarily blocked the $480 million Mega Broadband purchase. Against that backdrop, the board added a director whose career was built on restructuring — CEO and Chief Restructuring Officer at Energy Future Holdings, plus CFO and chief risk officer roles — and placed him on a special committee to evaluate strategic alternatives. That tells investors the board is now formally weighing options beyond business as usual. The $40,000 monthly fee and $7,500 per-diem rate are notable for a board seat but immaterial financially; the substance is the mandate, not the pay.
