Comcast Stock Struggles Near 52-Week Low Ahead of Q3 Results
Comcast's stock is struggling, trading near its 52-week low of 25.07 euros, after a 30 percent drop in the stock market today. Analysts predict a 1.79 percent decline in earnings per share to 1.10 dollars for the quarter. Despite a new bundling deal with Apple TV+ for its streaming service Peacock, the stock has lost 35 percent in the last year.
Comcast is expanding its fiber network using advanced technology from Ciena. However, the majority of analysts still rate the stock as a 'hold'. NBCUniversal, a Comcast subsidiary, has sold all advertising spots for Super Bowl 2026. The upcoming quarterly report on October 30 is seen as crucial for Comcast's stock performance.
Analysts expect a 4.49 percent decrease in revenue to 30.63 billion dollars for the quarter. Most analysts currently rate Comcast as 'hold', with an average price target of $39.94. They anticipate weak broadband subscriber numbers, and some major banks have recently lowered their targets, such as Bank of America to $36 and KeyBanc to $43.
Despite strategic initiatives like the Apple TV+ bundling deal and network expansions, Comcast's stock market performance remains uncertain. The upcoming quarterly report will provide more clarity on the company's financial health and potential stock movement.
