Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has called out the tax reduction plans of the Donald Trump-led administration in an X post, terming them as an &#8220;absolutely shameless giveaway,&#8221; that could shoot up the deficit by $4.6 trillion.
What Happened: The possible tax cuts for rich individuals and lower corporate tax rates are likely to widen the U.S. trade deficit, which the Trump 2.0 administration would most likely fund from the tariffs imposed on its trading partners.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit.

Why It Matters: Trump has threatened all its trading partners with &#8220;reciprocal tariffs,&#8221; while already having implemented 25% on steel and aluminum imports.
According to economists like Craig Shapiro, who is a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, tariffs are the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43587245/tariffs-are-the-only-way-to-fund-tax-cuts-without-deficit-expansion-argues-expert-as-it-takes-center-stage-in-donald-trumps-economic-plan">only way</a>" to fund tax cuts without expanding the federal deficit. 
Shapiro likened Trump&#8217;s governance to that of a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43763438/trump-acting-like-a-mafia-don-says-this-economist-as-uncertainty-mounts-businesses-hold-back-in-fear-of-unforeseen-economic-shifts">Mafia Don</a>,&#8221; saying businesses are now uncertain about the economy&#8217;s direction. He noted fading &#8220;initial euphoria&#8221; and a &#8220;wait-and-see&#8221; approach from business leaders due to unclear policies, tariffs, trade agreement uncertainty, and fluctuating government spending. &#8211;
Price Action: On Friday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) which track the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, closed mixed.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Tech & Telecom Stocks With Over 3% Dividend Yields

NFL fans hoping for something different in the next Super Bowl may not want to check out the Super Bowl LX odds on sportsbooks after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/02/43583513/eagles-fly-over-chiefs-40-22-as-super-bowl-lix-tests-potential-137-million-viewership-for-fox">Kansas City Chiefs 40-22</a>.
What Happened: The Chiefs entered the 2024 NFL season as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37080383/three-peat-super-bowl-lix-odds-kansas-city-chiefs-back-to-back-to-back-payout">one of the favorites</a> to win the Super Bowl after winning back-to-back Super Bowls. The Eagles and Chiefs are the current betting favorites to return to the Super Bowl and win the NFL Championship one year from today.
Super Bowl LX will be played on Feb. 8, 2026 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. NBC, which is a unit of Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), will have the media rights along with also having the rights to the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) has listed odds for Super Bowl LX. Many of the favorites were among the best teams during the 2024 NFL season. Here are the top 12 ranked teams in the betting odds:
<ul>
<li>Philadelphia Eagles: +600</li>
<li>Kansas City Chiefs: +700</li>
<li>Buffalo Bills: +700</li>
<li>Baltimore Ravens: +700</li>
<li>Detroit Lions: +1,000</li>
<li>San Francisco 49ers: +1,600</li>
<li>Washington Commanders: +1,800</li>
<li>Green Bay Packers: +1,800</li>
<li>Cincinnati Bengals: +2,000</li>
<li>Los Angeles Rams: +2,800</li>
<li>Los Angeles Chargers: +2,800</li>
<li>Houston Texans: +3,000</li>
</ul>
Of the top 12 ranked teams, only the 49ers and Bengals failed to make the 2024 NFL Playoffs. The Eagles and Chiefs are the top two favorites, with the Bills and Ravens also tied with the Chiefs for second-best odds.

Why It's Important: Two of the last three Super Bowl matchups have been the Eagles and Chiefs with the teams each winning one of those matches.
The Eagles have won two of the last eight Super Bowls and been a part of three of the eight games. The Chiefs have won three of the last six Super Bowls and been a part of five of the last six Super Bowls.
NFL fans outside of those two teams are likely ready to see some new teams in the Super Bowl next year.
It's important to keep in mind that these odds come one year ahead of the big game and teams still need to get through the offseason and compete in the 2025 NFL season to make the playoffs and advance to the Super Bowl.
Here were last year's top favored teams in February 2024 and how they fared during the 2024 NFL season.
<ul>
<li>49ers: +550, missed playoffs</li>
<li>Chiefs: +650, made Super Bowl</li>
<li>Ravens: +900, made Divisional round of playoffs</li>
<li>Bills: +1,000, made Conference Championship in playoffs</li>
<li>Lions: +1,200, made Divisional round of playoffs</li>
<li>Bengals: +1,300, missed playoffs</li>
<li>Miami Dolphins: +1,700, missed playoffs</li>
<li>Eagles: +2,000, Super Bowl LIX winners</li>
<li>Packers: +2,000, made Wild Card round of playoffs</li>
<li>Dallas Cowboys: +2,000, missed playoffs</li>
<li>Texans: +2,200, made Divisional round of playoffs</li>
<li>New York Jets: +2,500, missed playoffs</li>
<li>Los Angeles Chargers: +2,500, made Divisional round of playoffs</li>
</ul>
Of the top 13 ranked teams at sportsbooks last February, five missed the NFL Playoffs.
At BetMGM, which is a joint venture from MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) and Entain, bettors are already showing a preference for several teams to win Super Bowl LX, as <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1888973702471303426">reported </a>by John Ewing.
These are the most bet teams by dollars to win Super Bowl LX at BetMGM
<ol>
<li>Lions (+800), 12.9% of money</li>
<li>Eagles (+650), 11.3% of money</li>

<li>Bengals (+1,800), 9.6% of money</li>
<li>Ravens (+700), 9.3% of money</li>

Super Bowl Commercials 2025: Complete List of Super Bowl LIX Ads And Companies Behind Them

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas">many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
All three major indexes declined for the week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is tracked by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), snapping a three-week winning streak, falling 0.54%, while the S&amp;P 500 Index, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), lost 0.24%, and the Nasdaq-100 Index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), dropped 0.53%. 
January's jobs report showed mixed signals, as nonfarm payrolls rose by 143,000—well below December's 307,000—while unemployment edged lower and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43559446/us-economy-adds-fewer-than-expected-jobs-in-january-unemployment-slows-wage-growth-spikes">wages exceeded expectations</a>.
The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index unexpectedly fell in February, citing rising inflation expectations, which the report linked to concerns over higher Trump-era tariffs. 
Gold, tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), surged past $2,850 per ounce to new all-time highs, extending its six-week rally as investors sought safety amid inflation fears <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43574339/magnificent-seven-slip-inflation-fears-grip-consumers-gold-hits-record-highs">and economic uncertainty</a>.

Benzinga Bulls and Bears: Tesla, Palantir, AMD, Ford and XRP Rallies After Viral Jack Dorsey Video

Subscription video-on-demand over-the-top streaming service provider Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is considering bidding for the U.S. live broadcasting rights for Formula One, with the rights set to begin in 2026.
ESPN has held the rights since 2017 and will see its agreement end after the 2025 season. ESPN is a unit of&nbsp;The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).
The rising appeal of Formula One in the U.S., partly driven by the success of Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Drive to Survive&#8221; series, has led to a resurgence of interest in airing the sport, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6120990/2025/02/07/formula-1-netflix-tv-espn/" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Athletic</a> reports.
ESPN&#8217;s existing agreement, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/06/27850945/espn-beats-out-amazon-comcast-and-netflix-for-formula-1-rights-here-are-the-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">extended in 2022, grants them the F1 broadcasting </a>rights until 2025. Now that ESPN&#8217;s exclusive period has ended, other broadcasters, including major streaming services, are competing for the rights.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43563232/software-company-solarwinds-to-go-private-in-44b-deal-stocks-skyrocket" rel="noreferrer noopener">Software Company SolarWinds Agrees To Go Private In $4.4B Deal</a>
Netflix&#8217;s expansion into sports and live programming is gaining momentum, highlighted by the high demand for the recently aired <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42653325/exclusive-netflix-to-have-merry-christmas-with-nfl-games-will-viewers-tune-in-60-say" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match</a>.
The streaming service recently announced that it will exclusively broadcast the 2027 and 2031 Women&#8217;s World Cups for American audiences.
Last December, Netflix streamed two NFL games, marking the beginning of a multi-year agreement. Under this deal, the streaming platform will air at least one game each Christmas in 2024, 2025, and 2026, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42701434/netflixs-nfl-debut-brings-record-streams-but-lags-traditional-tv-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">valued at $150 million annually</a>.
The games attracted an average viewership of more than 26 million U.S. viewers. Nielsen reported that these games were the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42783613/65-million-nfl-views-propel-netflix-toward-long-term-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener"> most-streamed in NFL history</a>.
The success of these games has further strengthened Netflix&#8217;s reputation as a live-streaming platform and propelled interest in increasing sports content.
The pursuit is not without competition, though. Netflix&#8217;s rival Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), in partnership with Walt Disney Co. and Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), secured an 11-year, $77 billion agreement to air NBA games last July.
Amazon dedicates around $3 billion each year to sports content, covering broadcasting rights for major leagues such as the NBA and NFL.
Historically, Formula One has collaborated with network broadcasters in the U.S., having previously worked with Fox and NBC before ESPN acquired the broadcasting rights.
Apparently, Netflix&#8217;s market value now surpasses the combined worth of the media firms owning the four major U.S. broadcast networks, including CBS, owned by&nbsp;Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>), NBC owned by&nbsp;Comcast Corporation, FOX owned by&nbsp;Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) and ABC, owned by&nbsp;The Walt Disney Company.
In the fourth quarter, Netflix added 18.9 million new paid subscribers, setting a company milestone. By the end of the quarter, the company reached 301.6 million global paid subscribers, solidifying its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/43145703/netflix-worth-more-than-disney-paramount-comcast-fox-combined" rel="noreferrer noopener">lead in the streaming industry</a>.
Price Action: NFLX shares are trading higher by 0.23% at $1,018.11 at the last check Friday.

Netflix Eyes Formula One US Broadcast Rights Starting In 2026

On Wednesday, T-Mobile US, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) disclosed plans to raise 2.75 billion euros ($2.94 billion) by selling 3.150% Senior Notes due 2032, 3.500% Senior Notes due 2037, and 3.800% Senior Notes due 2045 under a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43480374/t-mobile-agrees-to-sell-2-75-billion-of-euro-denominated-senior-notes" rel="noreferrer noopener">secondary public offering</a>.
T-Mobile USA looks to utilize the offering proceeds for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases, dividends, and refinancing of existing indebtedness.
Last week, T-Mobile US reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43300596/t-mobile-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-adds-1-9-million-postpaid-customers-targets-6-million-new-customers-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $21.87 billion (versus $20.48 billion Y/Y), topping the analyst estimate of $21.31 billion.

Earnings of $2.57 per share surpassed the&nbsp;consensus estimate of $2.26. However, T-Mobile US&#8217; adjusted free Cash flow of $4.1 billion declined by 5%.
After the quarterly print, at least nine Wall Street firms, including Wells Fargo, Scotiabank, JP Morgan, Benchmark, RBC Capital, BofA Securities, Oppenheimer, and Barclays, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TMUS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised their price forecast</a> on T-Mobile US.

This is backed by growth potential in the suburban, rural, and enterprise mobile segments and additional market share gains in broadband.
Last December, KeyBanc&nbsp;analyst Brandon Nispel downgraded T-Mobile US&#8217;s rating, citing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42470137/t-mobiles-premium-valuation-prompts-downgrade-growth-projections-decelerate" rel="noreferrer noopener">the company&#8217;s acquisitions</a> in the Fiber business at significant multiples that have yet to be proven.

Telecom companies are known for their cash flow generation, which goes towards paying dividends and buybacks, driving ROE. T-Mobile US currently pays a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TMUS/dividends" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly dividend of</a> $3.52&nbsp;per year for a yield of&nbsp;1.48%.

T-Mobile Raises $2.94 Billion To Fund Stock Buybacks, Dividends, and Debt Refinancing

Scotiabank analyst Maher Yaghi downgraded Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) from Sector Outperform to Sector Perform and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMCSA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$48&nbsp;to&nbsp;$44.50</a>.
Comcast announced a new strategy to capitalize on the increasing demands for convergence, with a goal of boosting its current 12% wireless/broadband penetration.
In 2025, the company plans to push harder by packaging mobile services with higher-tier broadband products.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43335926/comcast-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-peacock-subscribers-surge-29-dividend-raised-15-billion-buyback-approved" rel="noreferrer noopener">Comcast Q4 Earnings Beat Estimates: Peacock Subscribers Surge 29%, Dividend Raised, $15 Billion Buyback Approved</a>
New and select existing broadband customers picking internet speeds of 300MB or higher will receive a free wireless line. While Yaghi noted this could dilute ARPUs, management is optimistic that broadband ARPU growth will remain healthy in 2025. Additionally, the company highlighted a continued focus on network upgrades to support more potent, integrated products across mobile and broadband. Management emphasized offering simplified bundles and pricing structures, a previous pain point, for new and existing customers.
Comcast reported 139K in domestic broadband losses during the quarter (versus -34K previous year), worse than Yaghi&#8217;s -105K and consensus of -95K. As management highlighted in the previous quarter, weak loading was likely due to impacts from the two hurricanes, which have adversely affected their cable systems and the seasonal tailwind of viewers returning to the Southeast.
Broadband continues to operate in a very competitive market as it competes with fiber and FWA offerings. Still, the company expects the new broadband/mobile converged strategy, as discussed above, to help acquire new customers and retain existing ones. The offering has yet to be rolled out nationwide, so Yaghi does not expect the first half of 2025 net adds to show any material improvement.
Yahi noted that Comcast is growing faster than many peers due to three of its profitable and growing business units. The analyst also noted that fiber competition from incumbents is unlikely to cause significant pain in the short to medium term in the U.S. and that wireless could be the biggest driver for the stock in the medium to long term.
He also noted that its theme parks and media assets are cyclical and exposed to U.S. economic weakness. However, considering the relatively small size of these assets, Yaghi mentioned that Comcast has already priced in some risks, given the stock&#8217;s currently low multiples.
Comcast bleeds broadband customers due to Fixed Wireless Access&nbsp;(FWA) and increasing fiber competition.
Comcast intends to begin offering combo plans to customers using the internet at speeds above those provided by FWA services, with a free wireless line as a retention tool to protect market share.
While this strategy will dilute ARPU and margins, management expects to garner lowered churn rates on broadband as a result.
The U-turn on broadband strategy will likely pressure FCF generation and is not guaranteed to protect broadband market share in the long term.
As a result of this more aggressive pricing strategy, Yaghi reduced his multiple to the connectivity business from 7.0 to 6.5x, resulting in a lowered target price and rating. The analyst expects the stock to remain pressured until markets see signs of stabilization on broadband loading.
Yaghi projected first-quarter revenue of $29.97 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.02.
CMCSA Price Action: Comcast stock was down 0.88% at $33.37 at the last check Monday.

Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) shares were climbing in on Friday, after having tanked in the previous trading session following the release of the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43335926/comcast-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-peacock-subscribers-surge-29-dividend-raised-15-billion-buyback-approved">fourth-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its quarterly results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">BofA Securities On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6422c89f5ce4fa00014ff23b/jessica-reif%20ehrlich">Analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich</a> downgraded the rating from Buy to Neutral, while slashing the price target from $50 to $38.
Comcast continues to lose broadband market share amid a competitive environment "with still ramping FWA deployments and accelerating fiber builds," Reif Ehrlich said in the downgrade note. The U.S. broadband market has significantly matured, resulting in limited industry growth going ahead, she added.
The company's guidance for ARPU (average revenue per user) growth shows a softening to 3%-4%, "as it leans in converged (i.e. discounted) offerings," the analyst stated. "Peacock requires increased investment which will continue to be a drag on results," she further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Benchmark On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ca96e4b85e930001f446dd/matthew-harrigan">Analyst Matthew Harrigan</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating while reducing the price target to $55.
Comcast's stock tanked on Thursday after the company's broadband unit growth missed expectations again, Harrigan said. The stock was also impacted by President Michael Cavanaugh suggesting that Xfinity "could retreat from its 3%-4% broadband pricing collar if highly desirable to support a new connectivity bundled approach with greater emphasis on mobile," he added.
The implied valuation of Connectivity &amp; Platforms based on Comcast's current share price suggests the loss of 1.25 million broadband customers annually "with a complete absence of pricing power," the analyst stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5a1c4e20efacff00015a984c/michael-ng">Analyst Michael Ng</a> reiterated a Buy rating while cutting the price target from $50 to $44.
Comcast's consolidated revenue of $31.9 billion came in ahead of the consensus of $31.6 billion, with adjusted earnings of 96 cents per share topping expectations of 86 per share, Ng said in a note. Management raised the dividend by eight cents to $1.32 per share for 2025 and the board approved a new share repurchase authorization of $15 billion, he added.
"CMCSA is now more aggressively using wireless as a tool to drive subscriber acquisition and retention resulting in near-term margin headwinds from elevated direct product costs, marketing, and ARPU headwinds," the analyst stated. The company's domestic broadband net additions could contract by 496,000 in 2025 and ARPU growth comes in at 3.0%, the low-end of the 3%-4% guidance range, he further stated.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Oppenheimer On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59282ae6290fa7000185325b/timothy-horan">Analyst Timothy Horan</a> maintained an Outperform rating and price target of $55.
Comcast's strong fourth-quarter results were "largely overshadowed by weak subscriber growth, Content &amp; Experiences EBITDA guidance, and management not reiterating broadband ARPU growth of 3%-4%," Horan said. The company would find it difficult to grow revenue and EBITDA in 2025, given tough comps and investments in Theme Parks and Studios, he added.
Management plans to launch more aggressive promotions and pricing to stem the loss of share in broadband, the analyst stated. This is a risk to the Connectivity &amp; Platforms revenues and margins, he further said.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Scotiabank On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5a53c034adcfa70001c2b366/maher-yaghi">Analyst Maher Yaghi</a> reiterated a Sector Outperform rating and price target of $48.
Comcast reported strong quarterly results but faced "continued pressure on broadband loading," Yaghi said. Although the company's subscriber losses in the fourth quarter were within expectations, "the stock is likely to remain pressured until those trends begin to revert," he added.
Given its strong balance sheet, Comcast is returning "significant capital to shareholders," with a large share repurchase plan, the analyst stated. "We believe the company is well positioned to continue to invest in its networks, but until we see a sustainable recovery in broadband subscriber additions, valuation multiples will likely be hard to expand," he further wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rosenblatt Securities On Comcast</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586cf168351b9b0001a3054e/barton-crockett">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586cf168351b9b0001a3054e/barton-crockett">Barton Crockett</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating on the stock.
Comcast's revenues grew by 2% year-on-year to $31.9 billion, while adjuste4d EBITDA rose 10% to $8.8 billion, Crockett said. Both topped consensus by around $300 million, he added.
The decline in the stock was the biggest single-day loss in over five years, the analyst stated. This was due to a steeper decline in broadband subscribers than was feared as well as the softening of ARPU guidance, he further mentioned.
CMCSA Price Action: Shares of Comcast had risen by 1.13% to $33.63 at the time of publication on Friday.
