The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) Comcast Corp CMCSA-Q TOP PICK Aug 05, 2025

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Faced with recently reported loss of customers, CMCSA is taking drastic steps to increase offerings to its customers. Analysts expect this will stem the tide and allow the company to regain growth. Despite all this, cash reserves are growing while shares are aggressively bought back -- albeit on the back on some increase in debt. It trades at 7x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a ROE of 25%. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $26, looking to achieve $40 -- upside potential of 22%. Yield 3.9%

(Analysts’ price target is $39.84)

You might be interested:

HOLD

Streaming market share of company has hit record numbers. Expects consumers to spend less on streaming. Good business model overall. Current share price presenting good buying opportunity.

HOLD

Hard time executing on plans. Fierce competition in cable and fixed wireless. Pace of broadband subscriber additions much weaker than expected. Peacock streaming way below target. One of the cheapest names in the space at 10x earnings. Free cashflow yield is high at 9%. Buying back stock. Safe holding. Could go into mid-40s in the next year or so.

TOP PICK

Gets no respect, as it's seen as cable/TV, a dying business. Has 6 growth businesses: broadband for residential and business, wireless, theme parks, streaming, and studios. Together, those are growing about 10% a year, and will be 75% of the business over the next few years. Anemic 11x, growth of 10%. Defensive, still room to go. Yield is 2.46%.

(Analysts’ price target is $50.31)

BUY

Enjoys solid trends in its core business, and trades at 11x PE and a 30% discount to its peers.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 16/23, Down 9%)

Hasn't worked yet. Beat this quarter. Difficult time with broadband. Makes a ton of cash, very healthy balance sheet, should have strong buybacks. Trades at 9x 2025. Cheap name with growth of almost 8%. Decent dividend.

DON'T BUY

Super-competitive space, so it's tough to get excited about it. The market itself isn't growing. Pricing game. Can't morph itself into something else to be more competitive.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 16/23, Down 12%)

It is a play on a return to theme parks. It is at a very low valuation along with streaming growth. It has a healthy balance sheet with lots of cash. At 8X 2025 it is trading way lower than the market.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

CMCSA released some worrisome news that they expect to continue to lose customers to growing competition. However, they are managing a strategy to off load some of its services and has also announced a partnership with Warner Bros that could open some new revenue streams. We like that cash reserves are growing as debt is retired and shares bought back. It trades at 12x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 17% ROE. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $35, looking to achieve $48 -- upside potential of 20%. Yield 3.1%

(Analysts’ price target is $48.14)
