Street View: Comcast restructures as satellite competition orbits closer

By Reuters News

** Comcast CMCSA.O on Thursday flagged more than $1 billion in charges for Q4 as it changes its organizational structure, ahead of the planned spinoff of its NBCUniversal business in mid-2027

** Median PT of 29 brokerages covering the stock is $29 - LSEG-compiled data

NEW PLAYER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

** Barclays ("equal weight," PT: $24) says co's restructuring and NBCUniversal spinoff present potential upside catalysts, though competitive pressures in broadband and mixed media performance may limit recovery until operational trends improve

** J.P. Morgan ("neutral," PT: $29) says fiber expansion, continued market share gains by fixed wireless access, and the growing threat from satellite broadband are likely to keep competition intense through 2027

** Scotiabank ("sector perform," PT: $27.5) says co's restructuring efforts, including a more than $1 billion Q4 charge, should improve efficiency and create room for growth investments, though satellite broadband competition is likely to intensify in the coming years

** Evercore ISI ("outperform," PT: $29) says underlying trends are improving, including customer satisfaction, broadband speed upgrades and service quality, though competition from fiber, fixed wireless and eventually satellite broadband could continue to weigh on growth
