Company Overview

Comcast Corporation operates through a portfolio that combines broadband connectivity, wireless services, and business solutions on one side, and media, broadcasting, studios, and theme parks on the other. 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 dollars in Q2 fiscal 2026. In media, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, and Peacock combine distribution and advertising revenue, while the studios add film and licensing revenue, and the theme parks generate attendance and in-destination spending revenue.

In Q2 fiscal 2026, Comcast reported revenue of 29.9 billion dollars, net income of 3.5 billion dollars, and earnings per share of 0.99 dollars, equivalent to a calculated net income margin of approximately 11.7%. Consolidated revenue increased 5% year over year on a pro forma basis adjusted to exclude Sky Germany, but adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5%, and adjusted earnings per share were 1.04 dollars. The company generated free cash flow of 4.6 billion dollars, of which it returned 2.1 billion dollars to shareholders, including 900 million dollars in share repurchases.

The segment mix showed clear divergence in Q2 fiscal 2026: media revenue increased 25% and its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rose 4%, while studio revenue increased 25%, with earnings rising by 141 million dollars, and Peacock generated earnings of 189 million dollars for the first time. By contrast, Connectivity & Platforms earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5.8%, convergence revenue fell 3.2%, and theme park revenue increased 3% but earnings declined 5%. For fiscal 2025, revenue totaled 123.7 billion dollars, net income was 20.0 billion dollars, and earnings per share were 5.39 dollars.

What's Driving the Stock

  • The wireless business recorded its best quarter ever in Q2 fiscal 2026, with net additions of 448 thousand lines, bringing year-to-date additions up 25% and the total to 10.2 million lines; however, penetration does not exceed 7% of the total line opportunity within the company’s footprint, leaving tangible numerical room for expansion.
  • Peacock reached an operating inflection point in Q2 fiscal 2026, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of 189 million dollars, alongside 54% revenue growth and 48 million paid subscribers after adding 2 million subscribers during the quarter. Distribution revenue also grew by more than 50% and advertising by approximately 70%, supported by the World Cup, the NBA playoffs, and Love Island.
  • The commercial transition in broadband directly affects results: subscriber losses improved by 34 thousand year over year, but remained at 167 thousand subscribers in Q2 fiscal 2026, while average revenue per user declined 3.8%. Management expects modest improvement beginning in Q3 fiscal 2026 as a significant proportion of free lines convert to paid relationships and the comparison moves beyond the initial investment costs.
  • Business Services grew by 3.7% in revenue and 5% in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization in Q2 fiscal 2026, but underlying growth for both was slightly below 3% after excluding a nonrecurring renewal of a long-term fiber contract. Enterprise Solutions supports this trajectory, as sales of advanced solutions increased from approximately 0.20 dollars for every connectivity dollar three years ago to nearly 0.70 dollars.
  • Comcast aims to complete the separation of its businesses into two companies within approximately one year of the July 23, 2026 call, while seeking to provide each company with a balance sheet carrying a strong investment-grade rating. On August 6, 2026, the newly separated Versant raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization outlook, citing continued strength in the platforms segment during the first half of the year.
  • The studios support content momentum, as their revenue increased 25% in Q2 fiscal 2026 and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rose by 141 million dollars. Drivers included Super Mario Galaxy, Obsession, and the international distribution of Michael, while Obsession’s global revenue exceeded 400 million dollars.

Buying & Selling Case

▲ Buying Case4 pts

  • +Free cash flow of 4.6 billion dollars in Q2 fiscal 2026 gives the company significant financial capacity during the execution of the separation, even after returning 2.1 billion dollars to shareholders in the same period.
  • +The wireless business offers a numerically defined growth path: only 10.2 million lines represent 7% of the total opportunity within Comcast’s footprint, and the record addition of 448 thousand lines came with improved churn and the start of converting free lines into paid subscriptions.
  • +Peacock’s turnaround became more measurable after generating 189 million dollars in earnings in Q2 fiscal 2026, with revenue growth of 54% and paid subscribers increasing to 48 million; its model combines distribution and advertising rather than relying on a single source.
  • +The diversity of the portfolio gives Comcast more than one growth driver, as growth in media, studios, wireless, and business solutions partially offset pressure from broadband and theme parks during Q2 fiscal 2026.

Valuation

The average analyst price target is 28.33 dollars, within a wide range of 23 to 36 dollars, compared with a 52-week share price range of 21.28 to 32.86 dollars; the average is approximately 13.8% below the top of the annual range, while the highest target exceeds that peak. The analyst consensus is Buy, but the absence of a price-to-earnings ratio in the underlying data and the wide range of targets require balancing cash flow and growth in wireless and Peacock against the contraction in Connectivity & Platforms earnings, weakness in theme parks, and incomplete separation details.

FAQ

What drove Comcast’s results in Q2 fiscal 2026?

Revenue was 29.9 billion dollars, net income was 3.5 billion dollars, and earnings per share were 0.99 dollars in Q2 fiscal 2026. On a pro forma basis adjusted to exclude Sky Germany, revenue increased 5%, while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5%, and adjusted earnings per share were 1.04 dollars. Growth was supported by the World Cup through Telemundo and Peacock, as well as by the studios and wireless, while Connectivity & Platforms investments and NBA rights costs pressured earnings.

Did Peacock become profitable in Q2 fiscal 2026?

Peacock generated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of 189 million dollars in Q2 fiscal 2026, marking the first time it reached profitability. Its revenue increased 54%, with distribution revenue growing by more than 50% and advertising by approximately 70%. Paid subscribers reached 48 million after adding 2 million subscribers during the quarter, but management explained on July 23, 2026 that profitability may fluctuate between quarters depending on the timing of sports and content, with year-over-year improvement expected.

Is Xfinity Wireless offsetting Comcast’s broadband weakness?

Comcast added a record net 448 thousand wireless lines in Q2 fiscal 2026 and ended the period with 10.2 million lines. Wireless service revenue grew 14%, while premium unlimited plans represented approximately 30% of postpaid phone connections. However, broadband lost 167 thousand subscribers and its average revenue per user declined 3.8%, so wireless has not yet fully offset the pressure, despite management’s expectation that converting free lines to paid lines will contribute to improving trends.

−
The broadband business faces intense competition from fiber, fixed wireless access, satellite, and converged offerings, and Comcast lost approximately 167 thousand subscribers in Q2 fiscal 2026 despite losses improving by 34 thousand year over year. Management also said that Starlink is not yet a significant competitive factor in its markets, but it expects it to become a larger competitor over time, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
  • −The commercial transition in Connectivity & Platforms is pressuring profitability in the near term, as broadband average revenue per user declined 3.8% and the segment’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization fell 5.8% in Q2 fiscal 2026. Expectations for modest improvement beginning in Q3 fiscal 2026 depend partly on the continued conversion of most free wireless lines into paid relationships.
  • −The theme parks business slowed operationally; despite 3% revenue growth in Q2 fiscal 2026, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5%. The pressure is linked to China-related travel restrictions in Osaka, macroeconomic weakness in Beijing, and declining attendance in Orlando since June 2026 amid higher travel costs and weaker consumer sentiment.
  • −Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5% in Q2 fiscal 2026 despite 5% revenue growth, revealing weak conversion of revenue growth into earnings growth. The pressure came from Connectivity & Platforms investments and absorbing the full cost of the NBA contract in its first year while the revenue opportunity is still developing.
  • −The business separation carries execution risks and a financing structure that has not been fully resolved; on the July 23, 2026 call, management said that details regarding leverage, dividend policy, exchange ratios, and the capital returns framework would be determined during the following months. Comcast also suspended share repurchases effective July 1, 2026, and expects the suspension to continue until the separation is completed in order to support strong investment-grade ratings for both companies.
  • −The valuation carries the risk of a wide range of expectations; published analyst targets range from 23 to 36 dollars, a difference of 13 dollars, while the average target of 28.33 dollars is approximately 13.8% below the top of the 52-week range of 32.86 dollars. This divergence reflects uncertainty regarding broadband, margin pressure, theme parks, and execution of the separation, even as the consensus remains Buy.
  • What are the main risks facing Comcast’s theme parks business?

    Theme park revenue increased 3% in Q2 fiscal 2026, but earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization declined 5%. Osaka was affected by China-related travel restrictions, Beijing faced a difficult macroeconomic environment, and attendance in Orlando began to weaken in June 2026, with pressure continuing in Q3 fiscal 2026. By contrast, management said that Epic Universe continued to perform in line with its expectations, received a strong visitor response, and generated higher per-capita spending.

    What does Comcast’s separation into two companies mean for shareholders?

    Management said on the July 23, 2026 call that it aims to complete the separation within approximately one year, creating two companies with strong investment-grade credit ratings and flexibility to fund growth. The teams will continue finalizing the capital structure and balance sheets during the following months, and management has not yet provided details on leverage, dividend policy, or the exchange ratio. Comcast also suspended share repurchases effective July 1, 2026 and expects them to remain suspended until the separation is completed.

    What is the analyst outlook for CMCSA shares?

    The provided analyst consensus for CMCSA shares is Buy, and the average price target is 28.33 dollars. Targets range from 23 to 36 dollars, a 13-dollar range that reveals significant differences in estimates of the business trajectory. The average target is approximately 13.8% below the top of the 52-week range of 32.86 dollars, while the highest target exceeds that peak, reflecting a mix of optimism about growth in wireless and Peacock and caution regarding broadband, theme parks, and the separation.
