Altice USA Inc. (ATUS) saw its stock soar 5.02% on November 5th, 2024, as investors reacted positively to the company's Q3 2024 earnings report and conference call highlights. Despite missing Wall Street's earnings per share estimate and reporting a revenue decline of 3.9% year-over-year, the company's efforts to streamline operations and focus on growth areas resonated with the market.
One of the key drivers behind the stock's surge was Altice USA's significant reduction in operating expenses and capital expenditures, delivering over $500 million in improvements. The company was able to achieve this through strategic cost-cutting measures and operational efficiencies, which are expected to positively impact future profitability and cash flow.
Furthermore, Altice USA demonstrated strong performance in strategic growth areas, such as fiber and mobile. The company reported 47,000 new fiber customer additions in Q3 2024, bringing the total fiber customer base to 482,000. Additionally, the company achieved its strongest mobile performance in four years, adding 36,000 new mobile lines during the quarter.
