That's not to say that CMCSA stock doesn't have good years.\nComcast (CMCSA) stock rose 32% in 2019, trading mostly in line with the S&P 500. But in 2020, Comcast stock underperformed when compared with cable peers Charter Communications (CHTR) and Altice (ATUS).\nIn 2021, CMCSA stock has retreated nearly 5% as of Dec. 27. Comcast stock is down 19% from its 52-week high of 61.80 set on Sept. 2.\nComcast's high-speed internet services to homes and businesses remains its biggest growth driver, despite two big acquisitions. Comcast and other cable TV firms are expected to ramp up wireless promotions in 2022 as broadband growth slows.\nThe biggest U.S. cable TV company, Comcast also owns media firm NBCUniversal and U.K.-based Sky. Comcast in May re-started a stock repurchase program.\nWhile broadband service growth is slowing, the pace of CMCSA stock buybacks is expected to pick up in 2022.\n\"Comcast reported extremely strong Q3 financial results with cable posting double-digit EBITDA for the 5th consecutive quarter, NBCU benefitting from re-opening and Sky supported by reduced sports costs,\" said Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich in a report. \"While Comcast effectively lowered its 2021 broadband net add guide to 'around 2019,' we remain bullish on Comcast's cable operations.\"\nShe added: \"CMCSA stock is leaning into its sizable mobile opportunity, while commercial growth remains healthy. NBCU will continue to benefit from re-opening, with theme parks poised to be lifted by the eventual return of international visitors. Comcast has reached its target leverage and will begin ramping share repurchases.\"\nComcast Stock: No Update On Peacock Growth\nNBCU and the new Peacock-branded video streaming service were expected to get a boost from the Summer Olympics in Japan. But viewership disappointed amid coronavirus restrictions and advertisers were compensated, NBCU said.\nThe Peacock service signed up 12 million users in the second quarter, giving it 54 million overall. Of the 54 million, about 20 million were active monthly users. Comcast did not update Peacock user data when it reported September quarter earnings.\nThe Peacock service should get a boost when it streams NBCU content that is currently available on Hulu, a joint venture with Walt Disney (DIS). Comcast owns a 33% stake in Hulu.\nDisney is expected to buy out that stake by 2024 or sooner under an agreement. Analysts say the stake could be worth from $10 billion to $15 billion.\nComcast and ViacomCBS (VIAC) on Aug. 18 announced the formation of a joint venture that will launch SkyShowtime, a new streaming service slated to roll out in over 20 European countries starting in 2022.\nIn July, NBC announced it is pulling its Universal Pictures films from AT&T's (T) HBO. It will make Peacock the online home for new releases after the movies play in theaters.\nHowever, NBC's Universal also announced a multi-year licensing deal with Amazon Prime. The deal could generate $2 billion in revenue, according to reports. Universal films will be exclusively available on Amazon.com's (AMZN) streaming service for four months after exiting theatres.\nCMCSA Stock Fundamental Analysis\nOne issue is whether Roberts family-controlled Comcast stock will continue to make acquisitions.\nRalph Roberts co-founded Comcast in the 1960s. A dual-class stock structure gives the Roberts family control of about a third of the company's voting power.\nSince the days of cable industry pioneer John Malone at Tele-Communications Inc., free cash flow has been a key metric for cable TV companies. Comcast's cable business churns out the lion's share of free cash flow, even though it continues to lose video subscribers.\nConsumers are switching to on-demand internet streaming services, but people still need internet services for video streaming. So growth in broadband services has been a bright spot. In addition, analysts expect upside for Comcast stock as it hikes prices for both video and broadband services in 2021.\nEven before the coronavirus pandemic hit, NBCU struggled with ongoing changes in the entertainment business. Advertising continues to shift from broadcast TV to internet and mobile platforms.\nComcast restructured to consolidate its cable networks, broadcast networks and Peacock streaming service under one reporting unit.\nBeijing Theme Park Key For NBCUniversal\nIn wireless services, Comcast competes with Verizon, T-Mobile U.S. (TMUS) and AT&T. Telecom stocks are among large-cap technology stocks to watch and buy.\nThe Peacock video streaming service competes with Disney, AT&T's HBO, Netflix (NFLX) and others.\nA recently signed deal with Roku is a plus for the Peacock service, analysts say. Roku stock has climbed as it emerges as a big player in video streaming.\nOne big question is how soon theme parks can return to profitability while operating at lower capacity with fewer visitors.\nComcast opened its $580 million Super Nintendo World attraction in Japan in early February. A Universal Studios theme park in Beijing is expected to open in 2021.\nComcast Stock Technical Analysis\nSatellite TV broadcaster Sky remains a \"show-me\" risk for investors amid broadband investments and equipment upgrades.\nFurther, Comcast stock holds a Relative Strength Rating of only 27 out of a best-possible 99, according to IBD Stock Check-up.\nIn addition, CMCSA stock holds an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of D-plus. The rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. On an A+ to E scale, the rating measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.\nFrom a technical view, the company keeps forming bases on top of or next to one another, and has yet to make a sustained run.\nIs Comcast Stock A Buy Now?\nWhat makes CMCSA stock different from cable industry peers is ownership of media and entertainment firm NBCUniversal and U.K.-based Sky. Investors playing the cable space may prefer less diversified pure plays such as Charter or Altice.\nCMCSA stock holds an IBD Composite Rating of 61 out of a best possible 99, according to IBD Stock Checkup.\nIBD's Composite Rating combines five separate proprietary ratings into one easy-to-use rating. The best growth stocks have a Composite Rating of 90 or better.\nAs of Dec. 27, CMCSA stock trades well below a buy zone. Its entry point is 61.90.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":696857926,"gmtCreate":1640669672681,"gmtModify":1640669898066,"author":{"id":"4087986020499840","authorId":"4087986020499840","name":"BerryNat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/27333e490249edd9b1054f0311c8584c","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4087986020499840","authorIdStr":"4087986020499840"},"htmlText":"Like please.","listText":"Like please.","text":"Like please.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/696857926","repostId":1100774075,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100774075","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1640669116,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1100774075?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-28 13:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Comcast Stock A Buy?

Comcast stock is down 19% from its 52-week high of 61.80 set on Sept. 2.\nComcast's high-speed internet services to homes and businesses remains its biggest growth driver, despite two big acquisitions. Comcast and other cable TV firms are expected to ramp up wireless promotions in 2022 as broadband growth slows.\nThe biggest U.S. cable TV company, Comcast also owns media firm NBCUniversal and U.K.-based Sky. Comcast in May re-started a stock repurchase program.\nWhile broadband service growth is slowing, the pace of CMCSA stock buybacks is expected to pick up in 2022.\n\"Comcast reported extremely strong Q3 financial results with cable posting double-digit EBITDA for the 5th consecutive quarter, NBCU benefitting from re-opening and Sky supported by reduced sports costs,\" said Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich in a report. \"While Comcast effectively lowered its 2021 broadband net add guide to 'around 2019,' we remain bullish on Comcast's cable operations.\"\nShe added: \"CMCSA stock is leaning into its sizable mobile opportunity, while commercial growth remains healthy. NBCU will continue to benefit from re-opening, with theme parks poised to be lifted by the eventual return of international visitors. Comcast has reached its target leverage and will begin ramping share repurchases.\"\nComcast Stock: No Update On Peacock Growth\nNBCU and the new Peacock-branded video streaming service were expected to get a boost from the Summer Olympics in Japan. But viewership disappointed amid coronavirus restrictions and advertisers were compensated, NBCU said.\nThe Peacock service signed up 12 million users in the second quarter, giving it 54 million overall. Of the 54 million, about 20 million were active monthly users. Comcast did not update Peacock user data when it reported September quarter earnings.\nThe Peacock service should get a boost when it streams NBCU content that is currently available on Hulu, a joint venture with Walt Disney (DIS). Comcast owns a 33% stake in Hulu.\nDisney is expected to buy out that stake by 2024 or sooner under an agreement. Analysts say the stake could be worth from $10 billion to $15 billion.\nComcast and ViacomCBS (VIAC) on Aug. 18 announced the formation of a joint venture that will launch SkyShowtime, a new streaming service slated to roll out in over 20 European countries starting in 2022.\nIn July, NBC announced it is pulling its Universal Pictures films from AT&T's (T) HBO. It will make Peacock the online home for new releases after the movies play in theaters.\nHowever, NBC's Universal also announced a multi-year licensing deal with Amazon Prime. The deal could generate $2 billion in revenue, according to reports. Universal films will be exclusively available on Amazon.com's (AMZN) streaming service for four months after exiting theatres.\nCMCSA Stock Fundamental Analysis\nOne issue is whether Roberts family-controlled Comcast stock will continue to make acquisitions.\nRalph Roberts co-founded Comcast in the 1960s. A dual-class stock structure gives the Roberts family control of about a third of the company's voting power.\nSince the days of cable industry pioneer John Malone at Tele-Communications Inc., free cash flow has been a key metric for cable TV companies. Comcast's cable business churns out the lion's share of free cash flow, even though it continues to lose video subscribers.\nConsumers are switching to on-demand internet streaming services, but people still need internet services for video streaming. So growth in broadband services has been a bright spot. In addition, analysts expect upside for Comcast stock as it hikes prices for both video and broadband services in 2021.\nEven before the coronavirus pandemic hit, NBCU struggled with ongoing changes in the entertainment business. Advertising continues to shift from broadcast TV to internet and mobile platforms.\nComcast restructured to consolidate its cable networks, broadcast networks and Peacock streaming service under one reporting unit.\nBeijing Theme Park Key For NBCUniversal\nIn wireless services, Comcast competes with Verizon, T-Mobile U.S. (TMUS) and AT&T. Telecom stocks are among large-cap technology stocks to watch and buy.\nThe Peacock video streaming service competes with Disney, AT&T's HBO, Netflix (NFLX) and others.\nA recently signed deal with Roku is a plus for the Peacock service, analysts say. Roku stock has climbed as it emerges as a big player in video streaming.\nOne big question is how soon theme parks can return to profitability while operating at lower capacity with fewer visitors.\nComcast opened its $580 million Super Nintendo World attraction in Japan in early February. A Universal Studios theme park in Beijing is expected to open in 2021.\nComcast Stock Technical Analysis\nSatellite TV broadcaster Sky remains a \"show-me\" risk for investors amid broadband investments and equipment upgrades.\nFurther, Comcast stock holds a Relative Strength Rating of only 27 out of a best-possible 99, according to IBD Stock Check-up.\nIn addition, CMCSA stock holds an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of D-plus. The rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. On an A+ to E scale, the rating measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.\nFrom a technical view, the company keeps forming bases on top of or next to one another, and has yet to make a sustained run.\nIs Comcast Stock A Buy Now?\nWhat makes CMCSA stock different from cable industry peers is ownership of media and entertainment firm NBCUniversal and U.K.-based Sky. Investors playing the cable space may prefer less diversified pure plays such as Charter or Altice.\nCMCSA stock holds an IBD Composite Rating of 61 out of a best possible 99, according to IBD Stock Checkup.\nIBD's Composite Rating combines five separate proprietary ratings into one easy-to-use rating. The best growth stocks have a Composite Rating of 90 or better.\nAs of Dec. 27, CMCSA stock trades well below a buy zone. Its entry point is 61.90.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"CMCSA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"isCrawlerRequest":true}
