Compass, Cable One, Funko, Opendoor, and Offerpad Stocks Trade Down, What You Need To Know
Cable One's stock has dropped 93% this year, trading at $7.34, far below its 52-week high of $166.73. The company agreed in principle to refinance $2.45 billion in debt, but no definitive agreements have been signed. A court order blocks its acquisition of Mega Broadband, which the company plans to contest. Investors who bought shares 5 years ago would now have only $4.15 from a $1,000 investment.
