A legacy cable operator turning into a fiber-and-mobile connectivity business, right as the heavy build-out ends. With the ALIVFibr network largely complete, capital spending and depreciation roll off and interest falls as expensive preferred shares are refinanced, pushing Cable Bahamas from losses into sustained profitability. Even to a global investor charging the full country risk premium, fair value is about $8.43 against a $3.78 price, well over double. To a domestic investor it is worth more still. This is the rare BISX name that looks cheap on both lenses.
Cable Bahamas is transitioning from a legacy cable-TV provider into a fiber-broadband and mobile-data business. Its mobile arm, ALIV, holds around half the Bahamian market, and its ALIVFibr fiber-to-the-home network now passes the large majority of Nassau households and is extending to the family islands. One fact to hold up front. Cable Bahamas owns 48.25% of ALIV, its growth engine, with the government holding the rest. The full picture is in the thesis.
