As previously reported, Credit Suisse analyst Douglas Mitchelson upgraded Comcast to Outperform from Neutral, stating that he has increased confidence in its growth outlook given renewed momentum in broadband net adds, pricing upside, the deteriorating competitive positioning of satellite, wireless investment likely having peaked, and NBCU being well positioned. Additionally, he sees the potential for capital intensity to moderate meaningfully over time. Mitchelson increased his estimates above consensus and raised his price target on Comcast shares to $44 from $36.

Morgan Stanley named Comcast as the firm's "Top Pick in the Cable & Satellite" industry and notes that it remains the firm's only Overweight-rated name in the sector. Shares are now down 10% year-to-date despite a stable earnings outlook, says the analyst, who remains confident Comcast can grow broadband ARPU consistent with its historical 3%-4% range in 2024 and beyond. Moderating losses at Peacock and the opening of its new theme park Epic Universe in 2025 should also contribute to consolidated EBITDA growth, the analyst tells investors.
