AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

As a value investor, I start with the business. GCI Liberty serves Alaska with wireless, wireline, data, video, and voice services—essential services with regional scale and 1,880 employees. That can be a modest moat, but the financials are volatile. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $261.0M and net income $16.0M, or $0.40 per diluted share. Fiscal Q1 2026 had $256.0M revenue, $18.0M net income, and $0.45 EPS. Yet fiscal Q3 2025, ended 2025-09-30, showed a $387.0M net loss and -$13.34 EPS, driving FY2025 to $1.0B revenue, -$309.0M net income, and -$9.97 EPS. FY2024 was $1.0B revenue, $70.0M net income, and $2.26 EPS. So revenue is essentially flat, and earnings are unreliable. FairStock calculations at the 2026-10-13 close of $20.36 show P/B 0.47, EV/EBITDA 3.49, TTM FCF $81.0M, FCF yield 9.9%, ROE -20.75%, Piotroski 5/9, and Altman Z-Score 0.29. The low P/B and EV/EBITDA and high FCF yield might attract a Graham-style investor, but negative ROE and a very low Altman score warn that leverage and losses could be dangerous. Debt-to-equity is 0.75, and the FY2024-to-FY2025 profit swing was severe. The Lynch category is 'none — only 2 year(s) of filed results — need 3,' so there is not enough history to classify it. This looks like a cheap, cash-generating but fragile telecom with an unproven turnaround. I would need several clean quarters and stable cash flow before calling it a durable value.

In plain English: GCI Liberty provides wireless, wireline, data, video and voice services in Alaska. The business looks mixed to weak: it lost money in its last full year after a big quarterly loss, though early 2026 quarters were profitable and it generated cash. At $20.36 on 2026-10-13, the price looks cheap compared with its accounting value and cash flow, but the weak profits make that cheapness uncertain.
