Shares of Altice (NYSE: ATUS) have plunged today, down by 20% as of 11:50 a.m. EST, after the company reported third-quarter earnings. The cable operator missed on both top and bottom lines and cut its guidance for the year.
Revneue in the third quarter came in at $2.44 billion, shy of the $2.48 billion that analysts were expecting. That translated into net income of $77 million, or $0.12 per share, while the consensus estimate had called for $0.15 per share in profits. Altice lost 32,000 video customers during the quarter as cord-cutting continues to hurt traditional cable operators.
