The biggest decliner this month? Cogent Communications falling by over 50%!
 |
Cogent Communications is an internet service provider that delivers high-speed internet access and data transport over a fiber-optic network.
It serves small and medium-sized businesses, communications service providers, and other bandwidth-intensive organizations in North America, Europe, and Asia.
The stock dropped hard because:
Quarterly revenue fell: Revenue declined 5.9% year-over-year, missing analyst estimates.
Dividend was slashed: The quarterly dividend was cut drastically from $0.995 to just $0.02 per share to preserve cash.
Corporate business is shrinking: Revenue from the corporate segment dropped significantly as the company sheds unprofitable connections.
Management is intentially shrinking the business: They are actively exiting low-margin contracts inherited from an acquisition, causing near-term pain for long-term health.
In short: Management executed a painful reset by slashing the dividend and shedding unprofitable revenue now to lower debt and return to growth.
Best Performers
Kohl’s Corporation was this month’s best performer, rising more than 40%!
 |
Kohl’s is a leading American department store retail chain that operates over 1,100 stores and a large digital platform.
It sells clothing, shoes, home goods, and accessories for families, often featuring partnerships with major brands like Sephora and utilizing a heavy promotional strategy with “Kohl’s Cash.”
The stock rose sharply because:
Earnings and revenue beat expectations: The company reported a surprise profit of $0.10 per share for the third quarter, and brought in more revenue than Wall Street anticipated.
Guidance was raised: Management increased their full-year financial outlook, forecasting better sales and higher earnings per share ($1.25–$1.45) than previously expected.
