# Optimum Communications Inc. (OPTU) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-10. NYSE, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price $0.73, market value $278 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Optimum Communications Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.0×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -107.2%** (5-yr avg 9.9%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -58.7%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -21.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 80.8%**. A 80.8% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: -16.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -16.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -20.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -20.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -4.1%** (3-yr -3.8%/yr, 5-yr -2.8%/yr). Revenue fell 4.1% over the last year, against -2.8% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -1295.5%**. Earnings per share fell 1295.5%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Optimum Communications Inc. holds more cash than debt.
- **Current ratio: 0.80** (quick 0.80). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.15**. A Z-score of 0.15 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
