Description: CHTR Charter Communications January 28, 2026
Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR) is a U.S. broadband and cable operator that provides residential and commercial customers with subscription-based internet, video, voice, and mobile services, alongside wholesale connectivity solutions and advertising platforms across its Spectrum brand and owned regional sports and news networks.
Key recent metrics (Q4 2023): revenue $4.84 bn (up 2.1% YoY), adjusted EBITDA $1.62 bn, free cash flow $1.2 bn, and net subscriber base 31.5 million (down 0.4% YoY). Core ARPU remained stable at $71.3, while the company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio eased to 4.3×, reflecting ongoing deleveraging. Sector-wide, broadband demand is being buoyed by remote-work persistence and 5G rollout, but rising interest rates are pressuring capital-intensive operators like Charter.
