About Altice USA, Inc.

Altice USA, Inc. (NYSE: ATUS) is a major U.S. broadband communications and media company listed on the NYSE in the United States. The business is marketed primarily through the Optimum brand and focuses on high-speed internet, pay TV, mobile services, fixed-line voice, enterprise connectivity, and advertising/media solutions. For investors, the company sits at the intersection of telecom infrastructure, consumer connectivity, and local media, giving it a somewhat diversified revenue mix within the communications sector. The company’s modern structure traces back to Altice’s acquisition of Cablevision Systems Corporation, completed in June 2016, which formed the foundation of Altice USA’s U.S. operating platform. Its headquarters are in Long Island City, New York. Over time, the group has positioned itself as one of the largest broadband and video service providers in the country, with a footprint spanning roughly 21 states and serving about 4.4 million to 4.6 million residential and business customers in recent company disclosures. Altice USA’s core business is residential broadband, with an increasing strategic emphasis on fiber deployment. The company also sells video, mobile, and voice products, while serving businesses through enterprise connectivity and network services, including cybersecurity-oriented solutions. Another important pillar is advertising and data monetization through Optimum Media, which offers multiscreen, audience-based advertising solutions for local, regional, and national clients. In addition, the company operates news assets such as News 12 and i24NEWS, giving it exposure to local and hyper-local content distribution. From a competitive standpoint, Altice USA operates in a crowded U.S. market where cable, fiber, telecom incumbents, mobile providers, and fixed wireless alternatives all compete for broadband share. Its investment case is tied to network quality, customer retention, and the success of its fiber-led transformation. Management has highlighted fiber expansion, customer experience improvement, and operational simplification as strategic priorities. In 2025, the company announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to enhance customer experience using AI tools, and it outlined a network upgrade plan targeting multi-gigabit availability across 65% of its footprint by 2028. The company also announced a corporate name change to Optimum Communications, Inc., underscoring the strategic importance of the Optimum brand.
