Optimum Loses 101.8K Residential TV Customers in H1 2026
Optimum Communications (formerly Altice USA) reported Q2 2026 results showing a loss of 44,100 residential video customers in the quarter and a combined H1 loss of 101,800 customers after a prior-quarter decline of 57,700. The company introduced new tiered video packages (Entertainment TV, Extra TV, Everything TV) and is migrating legacy customers. Broadband subscribers fell by 40,000 in Q2, leaving about 4 million broadband customers. Total Q2 revenue was $2.02 billion (down 5.8% year-over-year) and residential revenue was $1.54 billion (down 6.7% year-over-year). CEO Dennis Mathew commented on efforts to sharpen go-to-market strategy and strengthen financial foundations.
Quarterly subscriber losses and revenue declines at a major cable/broadband operator reduce available TV audience and signal weakening monetization potential for video and broadband advertising; earnings reports provide actionable data for media buyers and publishers.

Okta +27% and CrowdStrike +18% After AI-Driven Earnings
Okta and CrowdStrike shares jumped sharply after both companies beat Wall Street estimates for the fiscal second quarter and raised guidance, citing rising AI-driven cyber threats that are increasing customer spending on security. CrowdStrike’s stock rose about 18% and Okta’s surged roughly 27%, helping lift other cybersecurity names such as Palo Alto Networks, SailPoint, Zscaler and Rubrik. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz described an “arms race” driven by AI, while Okta CEO Todd McKinnon said AI tool adoption is still in early stages and that new products contributed nearly a third of bookings. Analysts at Bank of America and Deutsche Bank commented on the sector, and the report framed identity-security tools as clear winners amid growing AI agent risks.
Nvidia stock jumps after blockbuster earnings
Nvidia shares rose about 6% in premarket trading after the company reported strong earnings and provided upbeat revenue guidance for fiscal 2028. CFO Colette Kress forecasted 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028, while CEO Jensen Huang said demand likely exceeds that figure but supply constraints limit shipment. Nvidia said its AI Clouds, industrial, and enterprise (ACIE) customers generated $40.3 billion in sales for the quarter, up 138% year-over-year. Analysts noted supply issues at TSMC and memory shortages, and some flagged a potential competitive threat from custom AI chips being developed by hyperscalers and AI labs.
CrowdStrike Beats Q2 Estimates, Stock Jumps on AI Security Demand
CrowdStrike reported a record fiscal second quarter, beating analysts' estimates and raising guidance as rising AI-driven cyber threats boost demand for security tools. Adjusted EPS was $0.31 versus $0.29 expected and revenue was $1.47 billion versus $1.44 billion expected, up 26% year-over-year. Annual recurring revenue grew 25% to $5.84 billion, including $333 million of net new ARR. CEO George Kurtz called it the company’s best quarter as Anthropic’s Mythos model and broader agentic AI activity spur enterprise investment in AI security.
