Comcast price target lowered to $48 from $55 at Pivotal Research

Pivotal Research analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak lowered the firm’s price target on Comcast (CMCSA) to $48 from $55 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Comcast reported an-line Q1 results but the competitive environment appears to be intensifying, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes there is an “outside shot” that Comcast could make a play for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) “given it can probably get the asset relatively inexpensively and it would clearly boost their scale in content,” says Pivotal.
