Cable One Plunges 35% After Lender Sues to Block Mega Broadband Deal
Cable One shares cratered 35% after a report that a lender filed a lawsuit seeking to block the cable operator from purchasing a 55% equity stake in Mega Broadband from financial sponsor GTCR. CoBank, which says it holds about $1.1 billion in secured credit issued by Cable One, asked a federal judge in New York to issue an emergency restraining order to prevent the company from transferring about $480 million for the Mega Broadband purchase, according to a Bloomberg report on Friday that cited the lawsuit. Cable One faces a Friday deadline to complete the purchase. The lender said the transfer of funds would make Cable One sink deeper into insolvency and make its remaining assets unreasonably small given its already large debts. Representatives for Cable One, CoBank and GTCR didn't immediately respond to Bloomberg requests for comment.

United StatesAT&T Wins Court Approval for $177 Million Data Breach Settlement
AT&T secured court approval for a US$177 million settlement over a major customer data breach affecting millions of users, with a federal judge signing off on the agreement in early October 2026 and resolving multiple consolidated class action lawsuits. Separately, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile agreed to pool spectrum and share satellite access in a new US connectivity joint venture targeting coverage gaps. The US$177 million breach settlement and the multi-carrier satellite venture are reshaping AT&T's risk profile and network ambitions. The payment is sizeable yet small next to the US$167.7b telecom group, which is already spending heavily on fiber and 5G, and the bigger issue for investors is execution on the US$6b targeted copper cost reductions and the large network build. The satellite venture is aimed at filling dead zones that fiber and towers do not reach, while the GIP and CPP Investments fiber venture pushes deeper high speed access in 16 states. The clearest test ahead is whether AT&T closes the fiber JV in the first half of 2027 as planned and starts reporting its share of JV earnings without consolidating the results, alongside progress toward the more than 60 million fiber locations target by 2030.

United StatesGorilla Technology Signs First U.S. Data Center LOI, Targets 100 MW Portfolio
Gorilla Technology announced Friday that it signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire its first U.S. data center, with the acquisition targeted to close by the end of November 2026. The existing facility has 6 MW of current power capacity and potential expansion to 36 MW, while the local utility supports an additional 30 MW expected to be delivered in about 18 months, subject to infrastructure work. The operational facility generates colocation revenue that the company expects to continue after the acquisition, subject to final lease and transfer arrangements. Gorilla targets a U.S. data center portfolio exceeding 100 MW within 12 to 18 months through acquisitions, expansion, and AI computing deployments. The deal remains subject to due diligence and definitive agreements.

OpenAI Revenue Reports and Delta Earnings in Focus for Markets
OpenAI expects to reach or exceed $70 billion in annualized revenue by the end of the year, according to a Bloomberg News report, after a Financial Times report said its annualized revenue stood at about $50 billion at the end of September, short of the $70 billion previously signaled. The growth is expected to be driven chiefly by its enterprise business, Bloomberg said, though a path to profitability remained unclear, with recent reports indicating the company was still on track to slip to a full-year loss and has projected it will burn $280 billion by 2030. Delta Air Lines is due to report third-quarter results before the opening bell, with Bloomberg consensus estimates pointing to adjusted revenue of $17.66 billion and adjusted per-share income of $1.82, as the carrier grapples with an uptick in fuel costs and has predicted its fuel bill will be roughly $4 billion higher this year compared to the prior year. The University of Michigan's October consumer sentiment index is tipped to edge down to a reading of 47.5 from a four-month low of 48.1 in September. U.S. mobile tower stocks rose in extended hours trading after SpaceX agreed to buy a nationwide block of low-band spectrum from private equity firm Grain Management for about $8 billion in cash, a deal Bernstein said keeps alive the possibility that the satellite company builds a ground network; American Tower, Crown Castle, and SBA Communications rose between 3% and 4.5% after-hours.

SpaceX Buys Spectrum for $8 Billion, Lifting US Tower Stocks
SpaceX agreed to buy a nationwide block of low-band spectrum for about $8 billion in cash from private equity firm Grain Management, a deal that sent U.S. cell tower stocks higher in aftermarket trade on Thursday. American Tower Corp, Crown Castle International Corp, and SBA Communications Corp, three of the country's largest phone tower operators, rose between 3% and 4.5% in afterhours trade. Bernstein analysts called the move positive for tower operators, saying it keeps the terrestrial network build option very much alive, though they noted that buying spectrum is not a commitment to build more towers. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the spectrum is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America, and the acquisition is aimed at improving its Starlink satellite-to-cellular service by letting its signal pass through obstacles. Shares of major American telecommunications providers fell on the prospect of more competition from Starlink, with AT&T Inc, Verizon Communications Inc, and T-Mobile US Inc sliding between 5% and 7% in aftermarket trade, while SpaceX shares rose 2.3%.
