Charter Communications (CHTR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Charter Communications, as a result of the 2016 merger of three legacy cable companies, now provides services to approximately 57 million homes and businesses in the U.S., representing about 35% market coverage with a substantial customer base of 28 million residential and 2 million commercial accounts under the Spectrum brand. The company's total revenue for the recent quarter reached $13.9 billion, reflecting a 1.6% year-over-year increase and aligning with consensus expectations, supported by higher mobile handset sales despite declines in advertising revenues. Looking ahead to 2025, management anticipates y/y EBITDA growth driven by mobile growth, improved pricing strategies, the expansion of LifeUnlimited offerings, and efficiencies, alongside a positive outlook from rural expansion initiatives and the completion of funding efforts in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund.
Bears say
Charter Communications is projecting a decrease in capital expenditures below $8 billion following the completion of its network upgrades, which may indicate reduced investment in growth initiatives. The company expects to experience significant net losses in residential internet subscribers, with projected declines of 158,000 broadband subscribers and 237,000 video subscribers in the upcoming quarter, raising concerns about customer retention and overall revenue stability. Furthermore, potential pressures on EBITDA due to intensified competition could hinder the company's share buyback capabilities, exacerbating concerns over its financial health.
