Cable One shares fell after the company said first-quarter earnings plummeted by 93% and revenue declined due to fewer subscribers.
The stock sank 36% to $168.01 on Friday, at one point touching a 52-week low of $162.49. Shares have lost 53% of their value this year.
The broadband communications provider posted a profit of $2.6 million, or 46 cents a share, in the quarter ended March 31, compared with $37.4 million, or $6.46 a share, the year before.
Revenue fell 6% to $380.6 million. About $9.6 million of the decrease was due to a decline in residential video revenues as the company is navigating the final phases of its video product lifecycle, it said.
Residential data revenue decreased 4.5% from the prior year because of a drop in subscribers and average revenue per unit. Cable One implemented targeted pricing and product offerings in certain markets, which it said was the primary driver of the decline.
