Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Comcast Holdings Corp. operates through a portfolio that combines broadband connectivity, wireless services, and business solutions with media, entertainment, studios, theme parks, and Sky. Broadband remains the core product in the connectivity business, while the company expands the value of the customer relationship through Xfinity wireless; average revenue per converged relationship reached approximately $85, with the wireless base reaching 10.2 million lines by the end of Q2 FY2026. In business solutions, revenue combines connectivity, security, managed services, and advanced solutions, whose sales increased from approximately $0.20 for every connectivity dollar three years ago to nearly $0.70.
In media and entertainment, the company generates revenue from subscriptions, advertising, distribution rights, film and sports content, as well as in-park spending at Universal theme parks. Peacock had 48 million paid subscribers in Q2 FY2026 after adding 2 million subscribers during the quarter, and its revenue increased 54%, driven by distribution revenue growth of more than 50% and advertising growth of approximately 70%. NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock also benefited from FIFA World Cup, NBA playoffs, and Love Island, while Super Mario Galaxy, Obsession, and the international distribution of Michael supported studio results.
Comcast recorded Q2 FY2026 revenue of $29.9 billion, net income of $3.5 billion, and earnings per share of $0.99, equivalent to a calculated net income margin of approximately 11.7%. According to management's presentation on an adjusted pro forma basis, revenue increased 5%, but adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5%, while adjusted earnings per share were $1.04 and free cash flow was $4.6 billion. At the segment level, media revenue increased 25% and its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rose 4%, while studio revenue increased 25%, and theme park revenue increased 3% as operating earnings on the same measure declined 5%.

The stock's 52-week range extends from $59 to $66.5, a relatively narrow spread of $7.5, while the available information does not provide a valid price-to-earnings multiple that can be used to compare the price with earnings. The stock's valuation therefore depends on the company's ability to reverse the 5.8% decline in Connectivity & Platforms earnings, sustain Peacock's profitability, and execute the planned separation without weakening free cash flow, which reached $4.6 billion in Q2 FY2026.
Figures in the text are as of 2026-08-29; the live price is shown at the top of the page.
The first driver comes from wireless, which added 448 thousand net lines and reached 10.2 million lines in Q2 FY2026. Penetration remains only 7% of the total line opportunity within the company's footprint, while premium unlimited plans represented approximately 30% of postpaid phone connections. The second driver comes from Peacock, which reached 48 million paid subscribers and generated $189 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Enterprise Solutions also supports growth through demand for connectivity, security, and managed services.
Peacock achieved its first quarterly profit in Q2 FY2026, totaling $189 million before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Its revenue increased 54%, with distribution revenue growing by more than 50% and advertising by approximately 70%, while paid subscribers reached 48 million. FIFA World Cup, NBA playoffs, and Love Island supported viewership and advertising during the period. Management expects profitability to improve annually but clarified that results may vary between quarters depending on the timing of sports and content.
Comcast faces expanding fiber networks, continued strong fixed wireless offerings, and the emergence of satellite as an additional competitor. The business recorded a net loss of 167 thousand subscribers in Q2 FY2026, although that was 34 thousand better than the comparable period. Average revenue per user also declined 3.8% because of lower everyday pricing, the absence of a price increase, and the prevalence of free wireless lines. In response, the company is simplifying pricing, improving the customer experience, and integrating broadband with wireless.
Management aims to complete the separation within approximately one year of the July 2026 announcement, making the connectivity and platforms business and the media and entertainment business two independent companies. Ongoing work includes determining capital structures and balance sheets that support an investment-grade credit rating for each entity. The company suspended share repurchases effective July 1, 2026, until the separation is completed, after returning $2.1 billion to shareholders in Q2 FY2026. Details of the exchange ratios and capital distribution policies for each company are still being developed according to the call transcript.
Theme park revenue increased 3% in Q2 FY2026, but earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5%. Epic Universe continued to receive a strong response from visitors and increased per-capita spending, but attendance in the broader Orlando market began to weaken in June 2026. Osaka was also affected by China-related travel restrictions, while Beijing faced challenging macroeconomic conditions. Management believes Orlando's weakness is related to higher travel costs and weaker consumer sentiment, with pressure continuing in Q3 FY2026.
The company generated $4.6 billion in free cash flow in Q2 FY2026. It returned $2.1 billion to shareholders during the quarter, including $900 million through share repurchases. However, it suspended the repurchase program effective July 1, 2026, until the planned separation is completed. This step is intended to preserve strong capitalization, financial flexibility, and investment-grade credit ratings for the two independent companies.
