About: Comcast is made up of three parts. The core cable business owns networks capable of providing television, internet access, and phone services to 64 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. The firm plans to spin off most of its cable networks later in 2025. Finally, Sky, acquired in 2018, is a large television provider in the UK and Italy, and it also has a presence in Germany and Austria.

A Sweet Spot Between Yield And Growth: The Best Balanced Dividend Growers For 2025
This isn't a buy list. It's a shortlist to help you speed up your research. We've included both U.S. and Canadian names, organized by country. Each company comes with a business summary, plus a bull and bear case to help you assess the fit. Comcast benefits from diversified cash flow through broadband, content creation, and international operations. The business remains cyclical—recessions hit industrial demand, and European expansion poses integration risks. Brand power and wide distribution provide resilience. PepsiCo is expanding its healthier product lines and boosting e-commerce. The shift toward healthier foods poses a threat to legacy products.

Comcast: Parks Expansion, Peacock Turnaround
We rate Comcast a Buy with a $47 PT, driven by strong Parks momentum and improving Peacock profitability, supporting a 31% upside from current levels. Parks expansion and new openings will deliver a $700mn EBITDA lift by FY26, while Peacock's sports-driven growth will outpace consensus expectations. Our valuation for CMCSA applies a disciplined 7.3x EV/EBITDA multiple, reflecting near-term outperformance but discounting for post-spin-off headwinds and broadband churn risks.
