Comcast Corp (CMCSA)
Summary
CMCSA Chart
Think You Bought a Telecom ETF? You Mostly Own Big Tech
XLC carries the word "communication" in its name, but the fund's actual portfolio has almost nothing to do with phone bills, fiber lines, or fat dividend checks. Before you assume you own telecom income, check what you actually hold.
Comcast At Book Value: Separation Could End Conglomerate Discount
The market values Comcast as the worst peer of its underperforming Connectivity business, ignoring that it could arguably be seen as the global number Two in its Experiences segment. It appears that the current conglomerate keeps value buried within, which a separation should set free at the latest. Connectivity & Platforms faces ongoing revenue and EBITDA declines, but wireless growth and moderating core declines offset doomsday scenarios.
After A Decade Of Underperformance, Comcast Is Finally Ready To Rebound
Comcast remains a buy despite recent PR backlash and Wall Street skepticism, with fundamentals now more attractive after a decade of underperformance. CMCSA's broadband monopoly has eroded, but strong growth in mobile and resilient NBCUniversal content and theme parks offer new profit centers. Xfinity Mobile's perpetual Verizon roaming deal and selective network deployment provide unique cost advantages and growth potential over other MVNOs.
