The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold.

Our scenario range runs from $28.21 (bear case) to $89.89 (bull case); at $37.32, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target.

For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 32% fair-value upside, at 19%, CABO screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Widest divergence: Multiples ($690.76) versus Dividend Discount ($28.60). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
