Charter Communications (CHTR-Q) is currently facing significant challenges, as highlighted by various expert reviews. The company's poor performance has discouraged investment in the telecom sector, which is characterized by intense competition in internet, wireless, and mobile services. The management's decision to utilize free cash flow for stock buybacks at inflated prices has weakened the balance sheet, especially with rising interest rates impacting cash flow for servicing debt. Experts express skepticism about the company's outlook, emphasizing that despite a potentially cheap valuation, a clear turnaround in business performance is necessary before considering investment. Additionally, there are concerns regarding a prolonged timeline for free cash flow generation, contributing further to the cautious sentiment around the stock.
He got out just below $300. Surprised by management's Q1 commentary, didn't expect capex buildout extension and cost escalation. Free cashflow would not arrive until 2028, and this skewed his valuation. Even though it's fallen, fresh eyes would not make him re-enter, risk/reward just not there.
Very well run company serving millions of customers across ~40 US states. In sweet spot of mobile phone demands. Excellent capital allocation skills with low debt levels. Capital expenditures expected to drop which will increase free cash flow. When interest rates fall, will also be good for profits in the business (less lending costs).
CHTR is a broadband and cable operator serving 32 million customers in the US in 41 states under the Spectrum brand and is a favorite of Warren Buffet. It trads at 12x earnings and supports a 40% ROE. Cash reserves are growing while debt is aggressively retired and shares bought back. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $290, looking to achieve $466 -- upside potential of 26%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $466.59)A low-teen PE 2024. Shares are up 20% from its bottom and is moving up.

Its poor performance has put him off investing in telcos. Lots of competition for internet, wireless, and mobile. Using a lot of free cashflow to buy back stock at much higher prices, so balance sheet not as good anymore. Interest rates have gone up, and lots of cashflow being used to service this cost.
He fell in love quickly, but speculative here. Arguably cheap valuation but, until you see a turn in the business, hard to say where the stock is going.
