CMCSA: cable networks spin announced – a fast-and-loose analysis
Comcast announced plans for the spin-off today. This was previewed at earnings, and anticipated in press reports last night. While the announcement was no surprise, it came sooner than we had hoped. We had been meaning to build a model for SpinCo in anticipation of the announcement but hadn’t gotten to it yet. We run some very fast-and-loose analysis in this note, compiled in just a few minutes this morning following the release. If other analysts have made a proper attempt to strip out Comcast’s cable networks and value them, you should probably take their work over ours.Comcast is a media and technology company. The company's segments are: Cable Communications, which provides internet, video, voice, and security and automation services in the United States individually and as bundled services at a discounted rate over its cable distribution system to residential and business customers; NBCUniversal, which includes a portfolio of national cable networks that provide a variety of entertainment, news and information, and sports content, regional sports and news networks, international cable networks, and cable television studio production operations; and Sky, which owns a portfolio of pay television channels that provide entertainment, news, sports and movies.
