Comcast Shares Gain On RBC Capital Rating Upgrade

  • RBC Capital analyst Steven Cahall upgraded the rating on Comcast Corp CMCSA to Outperform, from Sector Perform, with a $60 price target, suggesting an upside of 18%.
  • Cahall stated that the recent 19% sell-off since early August is overdone.
  • "While we acknowledge that telco fiber and fixed wireless will pressure Comcast's fundamentals, our analysis suggests concerns over the impacts to subscriber growth have been overblown," Cahall noted.
  • Cahall added that Comcast would likely keep investing in Peacock, which Cahall said he is "encouraged" by how the company is rolling out the streaming service in different countries.
  • Price Action: CMCSA shares traded higher by 2.35% at $50.90 on Monday's last check.
