Cable ONE (CABO) Tops Q1 Earnings and Revenue Estimates

Read MoreHide Full Article

Cable ONE Inc. (CABO - Free Report) is a small-sized cable MSO (multi service operator) in the U.S. The company provides basic video, digital video, high-speed broadband (Internet) and telephony services to individuals and business enterprises. Cable ONE caters to almost 700,000 customers across 19 states.

Cable ONE made major changes in its channels and their availability to customers. New line ups were implemented to make news, sports and other channels easily accessible to viewers. However, the company’s failure to sign a retransmission consent deal with Northwest Broadcasting took the latter’s channels off from its portfolio. Moreover, being a cable TV company, Cable ONE competes in an intensely competitive cable MSO market in the U.S.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
