Gets no respect, as it's seen as cable/TV, a dying business. Has 6 growth businesses: broadband for residential and business, wireless, theme parks, streaming, and studios. Together, those are growing about 10% a year, and will be 75% of the business over the next few years. Anemic 11x, growth of 10%. Defensive, still room to go. Yield is 2.46%.
Hard time executing on plans. Fierce competition in cable and fixed wireless. Pace of broadband subscriber additions much weaker than expected. Peacock streaming way below target. One of the cheapest names in the space at 10x earnings. Free cashflow yield is high at 9%. Buying back stock. Safe holding. Could go into mid-40s in the next year or so.
Streaming market share of company has hit record numbers.
Expects consumers to spend less on streaming.
Good business model overall.
Current share price presenting good buying opportunity.
(A Top Pick Jun 22/21, Down 32%) Very large media company that has many assets.
Unable to execute on any plans.
Large pullback in subscribers.
Competition from fixed wireless products.
Currently trading at ~11x earnings with ~8% dividend yield.
Will continue to hold.
(A Top Pick Mar 02/21, Down 12%) They are growing their cable share in the US. They started the Peacock streaming service. There's a $70 target on this. He's been adding to his holdings.
(A Top Pick Jun 22/21, Down 15%) Pace of broadband subscribers less than expected. Market's worried it's losing market share. Other segments doing well. Free cashflow yield an attractive 3.7%. Speculation of increasing dividends and buybacks. Could reach $70 level over next 18-24 months.
An old-school huge media behemoth with assets in cable, SkyTV and NBC Universal. {technical problems, so no more comments} (Analysts’ price target is $63.78)
There's been dislocation in US telecoms with mergers and 5G coming in, but Comcast continues to win market share from traditional telecoms. This trend should continue and feed cash flow. Their TV content through NBC and Sky should enjoy ad recovery this year while their theme parks and film operations should benefit from the reopening. Trades at a 7.5% free cash flow yield. He targets $70. (Analysts’ price target is $59.23)
He likes it. Known from providing high-speed internet in the U.S. which enjoys high barriers to entry. Good cash flow. Problem here are the theme parks it owns, down 70% in attendance because of Covid; they may even close down. The broadband business is doing very well, undervalued and Comcast will do well in the long term.
(A Top Pick Jul 08/19, Down 6%) The broadband business was seen as an infrastructure play. There were a string of broadband revenue growth cycles, but then COVID-19 hit and the theme park part of the business saw revenues fall to zero. There was a recent report suggesting splitting the business into two, and he would favor it. They trimmed their holdings a while ago, but still hold some.
(A Top Pick May 14/19, Down 8%) A tough road ahead for them, he thinks. Universal Studios is looking to re-open in Florida in early June. He continues to own it.
