Comcast Earnings: Shares Remain Attractive Despite Another Tough Quarter

Michael Hodel

Comcast reported a 2.7% revenue decline during the second quarter and a sharp drop in free cash flow, primarily related to tax payments, sending shares lower. The firm faces several uncertainties, including the long-term impact of the NBA rights agreement that management expects to close shortly and the ultimate level of competition in the broadband business. We’ve trimmed our fair value estimate modestly to $54 from $56, but we still believe the current stock price reflects too much pessimism around these issues.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Comcast’s cable networks provide a platform to easily meet customers’ growing bandwidth demands, which should allow for relatively stable market share, ensuring that recurring revenue and cash flow remain strong.

Bears

Comcast’s businesses are heavily exposed to the traditional TV model. As more consumers turn to online alternatives, the firm will struggle to post any revenue growth in either of its two primary segments, the US cable and media businesses.

Company Profile

Comcast is made up of three parts. The core cable business owns networks capable of providing television, internet access, and phone services to 63 million US homes and businesses, or nearly half of the country. About 50% of the locations in this territory subscribe to at least one Comcast service. Comcast acquired NBCUniversal from General Electric in 2011. NBCU owns several cable networks, including CNBC, MSNBC, and USA, the NBC network, the Peacock streaming platform, several local NBC affiliates, Universal Studios, and several theme parks. Sky, acquired in 2018, is a large television provider in the UK and has invested heavily in proprietary content to build this position. Sky is also a large pay-television provider in Italy and has a presence in Germany and Austria.
