Optimum Communications, Inc. (formerly Altice USA, Inc.) is majority-controlled by Next Alt S.a r.l., a private Luxembourg holding company associated with businessman Patrick Drahi. According to the company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 28 April 2025, Next Alt beneficially owned approximately 40.4% of the company’s Class A common stock and 99.3% of its Class B common stock as of 17 April 2025, representing approximately 93.6% of total voting power. Class B shares carry twenty-five votes each compared with one vote per Class A share, and the company is designated a controlled company under New York Stock Exchange listing rules as a result of this structure. The company’s most recent proxy statement, covering the period through April 2026, confirms that Mr. Drahi continues to control a majority of total voting power.
The company’s Class A common stock register also shows a number of institutional shareholders holding smaller, non-controlling positions, based on disclosures dated 4 September 2026: Nomura Holdings Inc. (approximately 5.5%), Diameter Capital Partners LP (approximately 5.3%), D.E. Shaw & Co., Inc. (approximately 5.1%), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (approximately 4.7%) and Fidelity Concord Street Trust – Extended Market Index Fund (approximately 0.8%). These reflect institutional investment-manager holdings of the public Class A float rather than control positions; the underlying register lists ten reportable holders in total, of which five are shown here.
Ultimate beneficial ownership: Patrick Drahi is identified in the company’s SEC filings as the individual who controls Next Alt S.a r.l., described in those filings as his personal holding company. Through this structure, Mr. Drahi is reported to control a majority of the voting power of Optimum Communications, Inc. A precise, current effective economic ownership percentage attributable to Mr. Drahi personally is not disclosed in the sources reviewed, so no calculated UBO percentage is presented here.
Data availability: shareholder disclosure for Optimum Communications, Inc. is best described as major shareholders only. The company publishes its controlling and 5%-plus beneficial ownership positions through SEC proxy statements and Schedule 13D/13G filings, but does not publish a complete register of all shareholders, consistent with disclosure practice for U.S. exchange-listed companies.
