Charter Communications: Hold Rating Amid Modest Growth and Competitive PressuresWe anticipate 3Q results to show a moderate recovery in broadband losses, supported by seasonality, while rev/EBITDA fall. We look for 0.7% y/y revenue and 1.1% y/y EBITDA declines (vs. -0.5%/+0.3% prior; Street -0.3%/-0.3%), moderating from +0.6%/+0.5% in 2Q, as ARPU growth slows and cost efficiencies slowly ramp. We largely maintained our '25 estimates for flat revenues and <1% EBITDA growth (exc. transaction costs) vs. +0.9%/+3.1% in '24 and look for $30/sh in FCF vs. $26/sh in '24, as higher capex is offset by lower taxes and some EBITDA growth. We believe the company stepped up buybacks in 3Q to ~$2B (inc.

Analysts Are Bullish on These Communication Services Stocks: Paramount Global Class B (PARA), Charter Communications (CHTR)We view the 19% pullback as an opportunity for patient investors as again 2Q is seasonally weak, CHTR’s converged bundle does legitimately save consumers material $ and the current valuation appears attractive, which along with ever increasing consumer broadband speed needs should allow CHTR to eventually return to data subscriber growth. If it were not for the need to close the announced Cox transactions, we actually would not be surprised if TMUS (N/R) made a play for CHTR given their clear long-term need for a terrestrial line into the home vs. the potential decades long process of building FTTH. Our view is that CHTR is pursuing the right strategy but it is just taking longer than expected to bear fruit.

Charter Communications: Strategic Initiatives and Long-Term Growth Potential Amid Current ChallengesWe've noted in the past on numerous occasions (including our 2Q Preview) the potential risk of Charter's sizable former ACP base (we estimate to be 4MM+ subscribers) could rear its head again, and that narrative is materializing. Mgmt. still believes it can eventually grow broadband subscribers, but that belief clearly remains to be seen as we consider the large former ACP base at risk of churning, record FTTH deployments over the next two years, and continued FWA spectrum deployment from Verizon through the remainder of 2025. In the meantime, Charter will help to mitigate the losses with its network evolution, mobile convergence, rural expansion, the video reboot, and new pricing and packaging, all of which are still in early days.
