Cogent Communications Hits New 52-Week Low at $24.26

Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 24.26 as of November 6, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the small-cap telecom services company, which has seen its stock price drop by 51.82% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 17.53% during the same period.
The company's financial metrics reveal a challenging landscape. Cogent's market capitalization stands at USD 1,814 million, and it currently operates at a loss, reflected in its negative price-to-earnings ratio. The company has reported negative results for four consecutive quarters, with a net profit of USD -104.24 million, which has decreased by 41.99%. Additionally, the return on equity is notably low at -451.43%, indicating significant financial strain.

Cogent's high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 5.83 times raises concerns about its ability to service debt, further complicating its financial position. The stock's performance has been below par both in the long term and near term, highlighting ongoing challenges for the company in the competitive telecom sector.
