Description: CMCSA Comcast January 27, 2026
Comcast Corp (NASDAQ: CMCSA) is a diversified media-technology firm that operates across five segments: Residential Connectivity & Platforms (broadband, wireless, TV and advertising), Business Services Connectivity (small-business broadband, voice and Ethernet), Media (NBCUniversal broadcast, cable and streaming assets including Peacock), Studios (film and TV production for NBCUniversal and Sky), and Theme Parks (Universal locations in the U.S., Japan and China). The company also runs ancillary streaming platforms such as Xumo and arena-based services in Philadelphia.
In FY 2025 the company reported $122 billion of revenue, up 3.1% year-over-year, driven primarily by a 4.8% increase in residential broadband revenue and a 9% rise in advertising sales tied to a rebound in TV ad spend. Residential broadband subscriptions reached 34 million, while Peacock’s paid-subscriber base grew to 26 million, marking a 12% YoY increase. Free cash flow stood at $5.8 billion, supporting a $2.5 billion share-repurchase program and ongoing capex of $10 billion focused on network upgrades.
Key economic and sector drivers include continued demand for high-speed connectivity as remote-work and streaming consumption remain elevated, a gradual recovery in discretionary ad spend as inflation eases, and higher interest rates that pressure capital-intensive projects but also encourage cost-efficient network investments.
