The strong EPS beat and reaffirmed guidance support the bull case on fiber expansion. Watch for continued Glo Fiber penetration gains and the impact of the 10% workforce reduction (savings ~$12.3M annually from 2027). The incumbent broadband decline remains a headwind but is being offset by fiber growth. Earnings call at 8:30 AM ET may provide updates on tariff exposure and grant funding.
