About Charter Communications
Charter is the product of the 2016 merger of three cable companies, each with a decades-long history in the business: Legacy Charter, Time Warner Cable, and Bright House Networks. The firm now holds networks capable of providing television, internet access, and phone services to roughly 59 million US homes and businesses, around 35% of the country. Across this footprint, Charter serves 29 million residential and 2 million commercial customer accounts under the Spectrum brand, making it the second-largest US cable company behind Comcast. The firm also owns, in whole or in part, sports and news networks, including Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles Lakers), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles Dodgers), SportsNet New York (New York Mets), and Spectrum News NY1. Charter plans to acquire cable peer Cox.

What the Analysts think about CHTR
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Charter Communications stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Charter Communications stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Charter closed the Cox deal in August, and management says it now expects more than $1 billion in annual cost synergies, with about half arriving quickly. If delivered, those savings could help support earnings as the enlarged business integrates. (Investing.com, Charter Communications)
Mobile is growing quickly: Charter added 406,000 lines in Q2 and mobile service revenue rose 18.9% year on year. Management says internet customers who also take mobile churn nearly 40% less, so further bundling could make the customer base stickier. (Charter Communications, Investing.com)
The Cox footprint offers room to sell more Spectrum services: Cox had 400,000 mobile lines, compared with 12.54 million at legacy Charter, and Spectrum launched its products and pricing in former Cox markets in September. That gives Charter a cross-selling opportunity, though it will depend on keeping customers through the transition. (Light Reading, Charter Communications)
Broadband losses worsened: Charter shed 172,000 internet customers in Q2, compared with 116,000 a year earlier, as fiber and fixed-wireless rivals compete for subscribers. Residential revenue and adjusted EBITDA also fell, showing that mobile growth has not yet offset pressure on the core business. (Charter Communications, Quartz)
Cox adds a difficult starting point for the integration: its broadband base fell 5.8% year on year in Q2, versus a 1.8% decline at legacy Charter, and its revenue had been falling faster. Charter must improve performance in those markets while combining the businesses. (Light Reading)
Before the Cox deal closed, Charter had $93.8 billion of debt and net leverage of 4.18 times, while Q2 free cash flow fell to $969 million from $1.05 billion a year earlier. Management is targeting 3.5 times leverage after the transactions, so debt reduction may limit financial flexibility and compete with shareholder returns.
