Comcast: Tough next few quarters

Comcast is making the right moves in trying to fix their Cable business. These moves will take time to deliver tangible results. For now, we expect some near-term pain. Broadband ARPU growth will remain challenged as the company forgoes price hikes in early 2026. ARPU will also remain pressured due to the continued migration of customers to new pricing. ARPU growth is the biggest driver of EBITDA growth. With ARPU growth remaining challenged, we expect EBITDA declines of mid-single digits over the next three quarters before things start to improve.
