About Quantitative Ratings
Morningstar Quantitative Ratings for Stocks are generated using an algorithm that compares companies that are not under analyst coverage to peer companies that do receive analyst-driven ratings. Companies with quantitative ratings are not formally covered by a Morningstar analyst, but are statistically matched to analyst-rated companies, allowing our models to calculate a quantitative moat, fair value, and uncertainty rating.

Company Profile
Optimum’s assets were brought together when Altice Europe acquired US cable companies Suddenlink in 2015 and Cablevision in 2016. The Suddenlink business, which management calls the "West," provides television, internet access, and phone services to roughly 4.5 million US homes and businesses located primarily in smaller markets, with major clusters in Texas, West Virginia, Idaho, Arizona, and Louisiana. The Cablevision portion, dubbed the "East," provides comparable services to about 5.5 million homes and businesses in the New York City metro area. Both regions now operate under the Optimum brand name. Altice Europe spun off Optimum, which includes both the Suddenlink and Cablevision operations, to shareholders in 2018.
