There has been a significant surge of attention towards Comcast Corp (CMCSA) lately due to a set of mixed events. Despite a sharp slump in stock pricing due to a notable exodus of nearly 630,000 subscribers in the first quarter, some hedge funds consider CMCSA as a potential cheap stock to buy. The stock lost more broadband and video subscribers than anticipated leading to a fall in shares, while its Q1 earnings was a blend of declines and growth aspects. Although there was a significant earnings beat, the stock is tumbling owing to the broadband slowdown. The corporation is reportedly facing growth challenges due to high cable prices, adding to investor concerns.
Conversely, Q1 earnings have shown stronger revenue growth in key sectors and solid cash flow, earning investor attention. It also revealed CEO Brian L. Roberts’ total compensation of $33.9 million in 2024. Amid the strategic changes, Comcast pivots to focus on mobile services, with the launch of a new premium unlimited plan with gig speeds. The company also completed the Nitel acquisition, expanding further into the business services market. A clear indication of backed investor trust is the strong institutional ownership of around 86%, promising potential stability for future investors.
