Altice USA Inc-A (NYSE:ATUS) Reports Q2 2025 Earnings: Revenue and EPS Miss Estimates, Shares Decline

Altice USA Inc-A (NYSE:ATUS) reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, revealing a mixed performance with revenue and earnings per share (EPS) falling short of analyst expectations. The company’s stock reacted negatively in pre-market trading, reflecting investor disappointment.

Key Financial Highlights vs. Estimates

  • Revenue: Reported $2.15 billion, down 4.2% year-over-year and below the consensus estimate of $2.20 billion.
  • EPS: Posted a loss of $0.21 per share, significantly worse than the estimated loss of $0.0265.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: Declined 7.3% year-over-year to $803.8 million, with a margin of 37.4%.

The revenue miss was driven by continued subscriber losses in broadband and video, though the company noted improvements in fiber and mobile growth.

Market Reaction

Following the earnings release, Altice USA shares fell 1.67% in pre-market trading. Over the past month, the stock has declined 10.15%, reflecting broader concerns about the company’s ability to stabilize its core business.

Operational Highlights

Despite the financial shortfall, Altice USA highlighted progress in several areas:

  • Fiber Expansion: Fiber customer base grew 53% year-over-year to 663,000, with net additions accelerating to 56,000 in Q2.
  • Mobile Growth: Mobile lines increased 42% year-over-year to 546,000, adding 38,000 net lines in the quarter.
  • Cost Efficiency: The company implemented a 5% workforce reduction and improved service call rates, targeting $3.4 billion in Adjusted EBITDA for FY 2025.

However, total broadband subscribers continued to decline, with a net loss of 35,000 in Q2—an improvement from the prior year but still a drag on revenue.

Outlook vs. Analyst Expectations

While Altice USA did not provide explicit forward guidance in its press release, analysts currently expect:

  • Q3 2025 Revenue: $2.18 billion (flat growth expected).
  • Full-Year 2025 Revenue: $8.76 billion (down 0.17% year-over-year).

The lack of a strong growth outlook may be contributing to investor skepticism, particularly as the company faces intense competition in broadband and video markets.

Conclusion

Altice USA’s Q2 results reflect ongoing challenges in its legacy businesses, offset partially by growth in fiber and mobile. The revenue and EPS misses, combined with a declining subscriber base, have weighed on investor sentiment.
