Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

Charts show fiscal years, from the 10-K filings.

What ATN International does

ATN International provides digital infrastructure and communications services in the western United States, Alaska, and internationally, including Bermuda and the Caribbean. Since its founding in 1987 it has focused on smaller, often rural or remote markets.

Through its operating subsidiaries it sells fixed and mobile telecommunications connectivity to residential, business and government customers. It also sells carrier services, including terrestrial and submarine fiber optic transport, to large enterprise and government customers.

As of December 31, 2025, its network included more than 12,200 fiber route miles and passed approximately 523,500 homes with high-speed broadband, which it defines as download speeds of 100 megabits per second or more. It built these assets through its own investment and through federal, state, local and tribal funding programs, and plans to keep using them in 2026. It says it is cutting costs, using artificial intelligence to streamline operations, and focusing on long-lived network assets. It also describes a plan to sell its US towers.

Its biggest risks, as it describes them

  • Reliance on government funding that could change with policy.
  • Network outages, rising energy costs, and storms or other natural disasters in the regions it serves.
  • Competition that may force more spending or cost it customers.
  • Dependence on a limited number of key suppliers and vendors.
  • Not being able to close the sale of its US towers, and geopolitical instability in the Caribbean.

Indicators

Four widely used measures, worked out from the company's filings. The cutoffs are the ones their authors or users go by, not a verdict of ours.

IndicatorFY23FY24FY25
Piotroski F-score3 of 84 of 86 of 8
Rule of 40−1.8%−1.9%5.9%
Altman Z''1.401.441.54
Accruals ratio−7.2%−8.8%−8.8%
Piotroski F-score: how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency the company passed in the year (Piotroski, 2000); 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Rule of 40: revenue growth plus free cash flow margin; software investors treat 40% or more as the bar. Altman Z'': working capital, retained earnings, operating income and equity weighed against assets and liabilities (Altman, 1995); Altman puts above 2.6 in the safe zone and below 1.1 in the distress zone. Accruals ratio: net income minus cash from operations, over average total assets; lower means profit is backed by cash.
