What are Wall Street analysts saying about Altice USA stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Altice USA stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Altice has underperformed the industry in the last three months on an average. Stiff competition from established players in the market and high programing costs remain perennial problems for the company. Moreover, consumers’ selection of an alternate source of service due to economic constraints, technological advances or preference can curb demand for the company’s services. In addition, Altice remains susceptible to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates with increased presence across the globe. Earnings estimate of the company for the current year have decreased over the past month, signifying negative investor perception. However, Altice remains on track with its five-year plan to build a FTTH network and deploy its new home communications hub to capitalize on associated revenue-growth opportunities." (5/1/2018)

We view the stock as attractively valued (at 11X ’18 free cash flow and 8.7X ’19 (ATC is not a full tax payer), however as expected the stock has traded sideways as of late partly driven by issues that should begin to clear up post the spin from parent Altice NV (ATC.NV, Buy)."
