About Comcast
Comcast has three parts. The core cable business owns networks that provide television, internet access, and phone services to 66 million US homes and businesses, or nearly half of the country. The firm serves about half the locations in this territory. Comcast acquired NBCUniversal from General Electric in 2011. Following the spinoff of several cable networks, including CNBC, MSNBC, and USA, NBCU now consists of the NBC network, several local NBC affiliates, Bravo, the Peacock streaming platform, Universal Studios, and several theme parks. Finally, Sky, acquired in 2018, is a large television provider in the UK and Italy.

What the Analysts think about Comcast
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Comcast stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Comcast stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Peacock has reached profitability: it made $261 million in adjusted EBITDA for a second consecutive quarter, while paid subscribers grew 17% year on year to 48 million. That suggests streaming can become a more meaningful earnings contributor as its audience grows. (Comcast Corporation, Reuters)
Wireless is a growing, relatively capital-light opportunity: Comcast added 368,000 lines in the quarter and now has 10.6 million, up 18% year on year. Its low penetration within its broadband customer base leaves room to win more customers and convert promotional lines into paid plans. (Comcast Corporation, CNBC)
The planned NBCUniversal and Sky spin-off could give the media and connectivity businesses clearer strategic focus as separate companies. Comcast expects the tax-free separation to be completed around mid-2027, with existing shareholders receiving shares in both businesses. (Comcast Corporation)
Broadband competition is worsening: Comcast lost 144,000 customers in the third quarter, more than analysts expected and more than a year earlier. Aggressive prices from fibre and wireless rivals make it harder to retain customers without cutting prices and revenue per customer. (Reuters)
Theme parks are a near-term drag, with third-quarter revenue down 4.4% and adjusted EBITDA down 17.1%. Comcast and Reuters point to weaker demand in Orlando and Japan, with Orlando pressure expected to persist into 2027. (Comcast Corporation, Reuters)
Underlying earnings are declining: third-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell 5.8% and adjusted EPS fell 4% year on year. A planned transformation charge of more than $1 billion in the fourth quarter adds to near-term earnings pressure. (Comcast Corporation, CNBC)
