Cogent (CCOI) Q2 Revenue Falls 5.5%

Cogent Communications (NASDAQ:CCOI), a global provider of high-speed Internet access and private network services, reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, on August 7, 2025. The headline news was a continued year-over-year decline in GAAP revenue and earnings per share, both of which missed analysts’ expectations, even as the company made notable progress in boosting margins and cutting costs. GAAP revenue was $246.2 million, just below analyst estimates of $247.62 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $(1.21), compared to consensus expectations of $(1.00) and last year’s GAAP net loss per share was $(0.68). EBITDA increased by 78.8% year-over-year to $48.5 million, but ongoing net losses and a rising debt load remain key concerns. Overall, the quarter reflected steady operational improvement in some areas, but top-line pressure and persistent losses remain as the company advances through the final stages of integrating its legacy Sprint business.
