Steven Cahall has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest Charter Communications is well-positioned for future growth despite current challenges. Cahall acknowledges the competitive pressures in the broadband sector, particularly from fixed wireless access and fiber promotions, which have impacted subscriber trends. However, he emphasizes Charter’s potential to sustain average revenue per user (ARPU) growth, thanks to its strategic pricing and packaging initiatives.
Moreover, Cahall highlights Charter’s historical ability to effectively integrate and optimize acquired assets, suggesting confidence in the company’s capacity to unlock efficiencies and drive synergies from its recent deals. While acknowledging the current sentiment is weak and subscriber trends are uneven, Cahall believes that the anticipated short-term challenges in EBITDA growth will be overcome, and Charter’s strategic actions could provide a clearer path to forward EBITDA growth. This outlook underpins his Buy rating, as he sees Charter as well-positioned to capitalize on future opportunities.
