GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The Company sells its products and services worldwide mainly to cable system operators, including Cablevision Systems, Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC, Cox Communications, Inc, Virgin Media, Limited, and Rogers Communications, Inc; and telecommunications companies, including AT&T Services, Inc, Telekom Austria Group, Turk Telekom and Verizon Communications, Inc.
