Comcast Corp (CMCSA)

[inversor86]

It is regarded as one of the worst companies in the U.S. It's like GM in the 60s. And Netflix is Japan.

[bar1080]

LOL! How many times have I said to never short stocks. CMCSA is a perfect example of that. I inherited a small amount a few years ago and it's almost tripled. Way outperformed the S&P 500. Been a fabulous div payer for many years too.

Lucky I don't have to deal with their bad service or I probably would have sold.

[bar1080]

Actually it's been soaring. Hit a record high today. Plus a long history of dividend increases.

$CMCSA 39.10 half, see how this does.

Looks like the weakness in the stock is building...

Comcast has, once again, been voted:

"The Most Hated Company In America"

... for 2016


"These are America's most hated companies.

1. Comcast (CMCSA)

The internet service provider and subscription television service industries are not known for superior customer service. In fact, the two industries have the worst average scores in the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Still, Comcast has a significantly worse customer satisfaction score than either industry average."

why in hell am i showing a 7.2% after hours drop in price? there's no news out to justify a 5 dollar drop?!?

generally buy on rumour and sell on news

[adamp]

i bought in after their last earnings report. looks pretty solid moving forward, i'm expecting some good movement post-split. could move strong leading up to that point.

Little upside for Comcast Corp $CMCSA investors prior to earnings Thursday:

Fair Value Analysis

[Going_4_It]

Comcast is #1 on the list of Most Hated Companies in America

Financial news site 24/7 Wall St. this week released a report identifying "12 companies hated by customers, employees, and the general public." Their findings are based on consumer satisfaction surveys and worker reviews.

http://www.pcmag.com/news/350979/comcast-is-americas-most-hated-company.


Yet the stock price just keeps going up... up... up...


As an observer of society, and politics, etc... and being a long-term investor... I just don't understand (what I see as ) a major disconnect of cost verses value in the Comcast stock.

And how come the CEO can draw a salary of $36 Million per year?

Any opinions?

Case goes to trial in July 2017. If convicted fines could be as high as $3.6 BILLION.

[bar1080]

Comcast rose 26% in 2016. Soaring now. Incredible dividend increases almost every year.

[Going_4_It]

Comcast recently instituted Data Usage fees with a threshold of 1 terabyte. Go over that limit and the you get docked $10 for each extra 50 gigabytes that is used.

Well, I'm well over the limit so I went to the local Comcast office yesterday to sign up for the Unlimited Data Plan for $50 a month.

When I entered the office there were 5 other people waiting. Four of them had there hidef cable set top boxes under their arm. I asked each of them what their situation was and they each said that they were discontinuing their Comcast subscription in its entirety.

I think I may be seeing an emerging trend here. Comcast may have just priced out of the market a certain segment of customers. Comcast has announced a 3.8% price increase across the country starting Jan 1, 2017. I wonder it that is the "trigger event".

If Comcast was thinking they would make more revenue from these price increases, I think they may have just made a strategic blunder and effectively "shot themselves in the foot".

They are a virtual monopoly where ever they do business. In 2010 and again in 2014 they won an award for bring THE MOST HATED COMPANY IN AMERICA. Looks like they are trying for the award yet again.

Comcast just hit a 52-week high today. So I am going to look into buying some PUT options.

Wish Me Luck!

everyone just wait until comcast fails and implodes. Hammer fiber optic investments (HMMR) soon will be taking over this industry of monopolies unless comcast changes their ways. A fair warning.

Customer Service-Issues=no buy

It will catch up with this company the amount of customer service issues they are having. They are relying on that they are a monopoly but Customers always in the end find other ways. Think about that if you are looking at this stock for a long term hold/buy. Facebook is loaded with the negative customer feedback because it is the only way to contact them and you will see issues are not resolving. Raising prices is the only way this company at this rate will continue to beat the street.

Is The Sprint Stock About to Pop?

Dana Blankenhorn - Amigobulls - Fri Dec 11, 5:07AM CST




•Sprint is cutting expenses, increasing marketing and could be profitable soon.
•Sprint stock is currently valued at half what T-Mobile is, but has the same revenue base.
•Controlling shareholder Softbank might make a deal that could cause Sprint stock price to pop.

Sprint stock may be about to pop
Flickr

Sprint (NYSE:S) has been disappointing investors for some time, but that may be about to change.


ADVERTISING











It’s not that big changes are coming to operations, although cutting $2.5 billion through lay-offs should create a profit at a company where revenues are $35 billion/year.

Note: You might also be interested in ‘Sprint Earnings Miss Estimates, But All Is Not Lost‘.

Showing a profit would make the shares in the fourth-largest wireless carrier more comparable to those of rival T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS), which brings $500 million per quarter to its bottom line, on a similar $8 billion revenue figure. T-Mobile is currently valued at twice what Sprint is, $29 billion against $14 billion.

Sprint is not going to be organically cash constrained, thanks to a leaseback deal on phones with parent Softbank (OTC:SFTBY) that will bring in $1.1 billion in cash.

The company is still fighting for market share, and not giving up. When the company starts showing a profit Sprint stock price could double from its current price of under $4/share very quickly.

But I don’t think that’s the catalyst, or the reason to speculate on Sprint stock today.

I think Sprint is about to do a deal. Comcast -A (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is looking for a partner to create a hybrid WiFi-cellular offering. It’s a big hole in the cable company’s offerings. Comcast has spectrum and could easily do such a deal with Sprint – perhaps taking a minority stake for operations expertise, with an option to buy the rest. Or pressure from Comcast’s entry could be the catalyst for Sprint and T-Mobile to finally merge, creating a viable third alternative to Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T (NYSE:T).

Softbank CEO (and controlling Sprint shareholder) Masayoshi Son has the ambition of creating the world’s first global wireless carrier, and he is not one to sit around idly, letting a losing asset fester. He is going to act. He has plenty of assets with which to act – Softbank has more of Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) than Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) does – and Comcast’s pending market entry means there are now more moving parts to push around the board.

This is all speculation, but Son is a gambler, a man I have been following for almost three decades now. He likes to put things together and he has the market cap – about $60 billion – to play with. He could decide to buy the rest of Yahoo and sell the bulk of Sprint, but even that deal would bring a premium over the company’s current valuation.

I may be wrong, but Son-san likes to make his big deals late in the fiscal year, which for Japanese companies means the end of March. If he is prepared to move, you should not have long to wait. And even if I’m wrong, the operational changes should create a profit that could double the stock’s value.
