About: 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.

Comcast: Market's Fear Of Broadband Subscriber Loss Creates An Attractive Point Of Entry
Comcast is undervalued, trading at sub-6x EBITDA and a 12% forward FCF yield, despite broadband subscriber losses and negative market sentiment. The broadband competition from FWA and fiber is significant, but Comcast's urban focus and HFC technology mitigate these threats. Comcast's $15 billion buyback program, conservative balance sheet, and upcoming Universal Epic Universe opening are key catalysts for potential stock re-rating.
