Analysts’ Take
RBC Capital analyst Kutgun Maral recently reiterated a Buy rating on Comcast stock with a price target of $60. Maral’s price target suggests 20.02% upside potential. While the company has experienced a slowdown in broadband net ads, the analyst believes that concerns over the long-term impact have been overblown.
Consensus among analysts is a Moderate Buy based on 11 Buys, 3 Holds, and 1 Sell. The average Comcast price target of $58.13 implies 16.28% upside potential to current levels.
