What the filing says
Cogent Communications sold 10 owned data centers in Q2 2026 for net proceeds of $224.2 million, generating a $130.7 million gain. The company used proceeds to repurchase $138.8 million par value of 2032 secured notes through July 2026 at average price of $90.35, realizing $13.4 million in gains. Service revenue declined 1.5% QoQ to $235.6 million; adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 30.2% from 29.3%. Net leverage ratio (adjusted for T-Mobile amounts due) improved to 6.23 from 6.79.
Why this rating
Asset sale + debt reduction is moderately material: $224M proceeds ~10% of $2.2B market cap; debt buyback reduces leverage meaningfully. However, core revenue declining 4.6% YoY and off-net revenue falling 17.3% YoY signal underlying business softness. One-time gain inflates Q2 earnings.
