Analysis · CABO · Technology
Cable One pushed the closing of its MBI acquisition from October 1 to October 9, 2026, and disclosed that discussions with potential investors for financing the deal have concluded. The extension follows a stalled debt exchange and a $700 million revolver draw in September, underscoring the company's struggle to fund the purchase amid a $1.16 billion Q2 loss and collapsing equity. The conclusion of financing talks without a disclosed agreement raises uncertainty about how the company will pay the put price for the remaining MBI equity.
