Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Fiber-led revenue growth with improving gross margin (66.2%) and positive telecom Adjusted EBITDA signal early operating leverage despite higher depreciation from buildout .
  • Sequential performance remained stable in Q2 FY2026 (revenue $3.16M), suggesting sustainable run-rate as fiber subs increase; monitoring mix and churn in wireless is prudent .
  • Balance sheet capacity and 2% RUS loan materially de-risk funding for passings and subscriber conversion over a multi-year horizon .
  • Internal-control remediation is a necessary short-term overhang; successful execution should reduce accounting risk and support future capital allocation (acquisitions, expansion) .
  • No formal guidance and limited Street coverage may keep volatility elevated; catalysts include passings milestones, fiber ARPU trends, and EBITDA trajectory .
  • Watch capex intensity and D&A burden; gross-margin expansion and cost controls are key to breakeven path as the footprint scales .
  • Legal and discontinued operations headwinds largely resolved; focus shifts fully to telecom growth and potential new investments .
