SharesGrow 7-Criteria Score
All 7 criteria scored · valuation-related highlighted on this page
Cable One, Inc. (CABO) has a negative trailing P/E of -1.5, meaning the company is currently unprofitable on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis. The forward P/E of 4.0 based on analyst estimates suggests a return to profitability is expected. Trailing earnings yield is -67.90%, forward earnings yield 24.75%.
Criteria proven by this page:
- VALUE (20/100, Fail) — negative P/E indicates the company is currently operating at a loss — DCF and P/E-based valuation models cannot produce meaningful results for unprofitable companies (P/E -1.5); trailing earnings yield is below the 10-year Treasury yield (~4.3%), meaning bonds offer a better return (EY -67.90%); analyst consensus target implies downside from the current price ($80.00, 14.1%).
- Forward P/E 4.0 — analysts expect a return to profitability with estimated EPS of $23.07 for FY2026.
- Trailing Earnings Yield -67.90% — negative yield confirms the company is currently unprofitable. Investors are paying for a turnaround rather than current earnings. Forward yield improves to 24.75% as earnings recover.
- Analyst consensus target $80.00 (-14.1% downside) — slight downside risk — the market may be ahead of analyst expectations.
Overall SharesGrow Score: 29/100 with 0/7 criteria passed.
