Holanda, who brings more than 35 years of industry experience from Astound Broadband, Choice Cable TV of Puerto Rico, Patriot Media, Charter Communications and Comcast, will receive a compensation package that includes a $1.4 million base salary, a target bonus equal to 150% of salary, a $10 million equity award mix of time- and performance-based RSUs, relocation assistance and a potential one-time payment to replace any forfeited 2025 bonus from his prior employer, subject to clawback if he departs within two years. The board characterized his selection as the outcome of a comprehensive search for a leader capable of driving growth and enhancing shareholder value, underscoring Cable One’s intent to strengthen its strategic and competitive position in a dynamic broadband market while preserving continuity in financial leadership and corporate governance during the transition period.

Spark’s Take on CABO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CABO is a Neutral.

Cable ONE’s overall stock score reflects significant financial and operational challenges, including declining revenues and high leverage. While the company is making efforts to reduce debt and launch new services, these positives are overshadowed by ongoing subscriber losses and revenue declines. The high dividend yield offers some valuation support, but sustainability concerns remain.
