Comcast Corp (CMCSA) has faced challenges recently, including a reported loss of customers, leading to significant strategic adjustments aimed at enhancing service offerings. Despite these setbacks, cash reserves are on the rise, and share buybacks are occurring, although they come with an increase in debt. Analysts highlight the company’s relatively low valuation at 7x earnings and a solid return on equity of 25%. While there are mixed opinions on whether to maintain investments, experts suggest careful monitoring with stop-loss recommendations at $26 and $29 in various contexts. The current yield of 3.9% and an analyst price target of $39.84 indicate a potential upside of about 22%.
They've penetrated 45% of US households. Streaming (Netflix) is a major threat, though. Today, Comcast sold their stake in Hulu, but can still show their content on Hulu. They still make a ton of money, because they are the "pipe" of Netflix which runs on their lines. Low volatile and pays a decent dividend. Plus, they benefit from mobile usage. (Analysts’ price target is $47.06)
They're about to finish acquring Sky in the UK. A very promising company. They know this business, and there's a lot of synergy in this deal. Sky has an outstanding user interface which has eluded North American systems and encouraged cord-cutting here. Comcast is levering a little, but generating strong free cash flow. They won't buy back stocks, but overall the Sky deal is a great move.
