CMCSA vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description
We are a leading provider of video, high-speed Internet and phone services (“cable services”), offering a variety of entertainment, information and communications services to residential and commercial customers. As of December 31, 2009, our cable systems served approximately 23.6 million video... More

- Tuesday, March 19, 8:35 AM More dysfunction at NBC (CMCSA): The network is reportedly discussing an exit plan for Jay Leno which would see the entertainer give up his late-night time slot. Leno hasn't been helping his cause by calling out the ineptitude of NBC execs and the network's ungraceful fall to 5th place in the ratings. The bigger picture: Look for Comcast to make same big changes at NBC and potentially raise the stakes in the licensing of its streaming content. (Previous: The lure of SVOD profits) 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, March 15, 10:53 AM In five years Comcast (CMCSA -1%) moved from being the country's 50th largest advertiser to second behind Procter & Gamble, according to Kanter Media. It's an interesting development with Verizon cutting its advertising budget last year despite the pitched battle between Xfinity and FiOS. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Thursday, March 14, 6:58 PM Outgoing Hulu (DIS, NWS, CMCSA) CEO Jason Kilar says content chief Andy Forssell will be the streaming service's acting CEO following his departure. Kilar also confirms Disney and News Corp. are "currently finalizing their forward-looking plans with Hulu" (previous) - a "permanent decision" about Hulu's CEO will be made after said finalization. Forssell will take over a company whose 2012 sales were less than 1/5 of Netflix's, and whose paid subscriber base is less than 1/9 as large. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Thursday, March 14, 2:45 PM Crowdsourcing goes Hollywood: Writer-director Rob Thomas successfully raises $2.7M and counting in a Kickstarter campaign that just launched yesterday after his movie was stalled by execs at Warner Bros TWX. Due to the successful grassroots-level raise of funds, the movie Veronica Mars will move to pre-production and be shot over the summer - by insider accounts a first for the industry. The read-through could be interesting for studios (LGF, DIS, VIA, CMCSA, SNE) as they test new ways to gauge market reaction before making large investments into projects. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, March 8, 10:58 AM Looking to protect the duopoly/near-duopoly positions they have in many U.S. broadband markets, U.S. telcos and cable companies are lobbying hard to put an end to publicly-funded broadband networks, arguing (without irony) such networks hurt competition. AT&T (T), Time Warner Cable (TWC), Windstream (WIN), and Comcast (CMCSA) are some of the incumbents to have mounted lobbying efforts, which have led at least 19 states to place restrictions on public broadband investments. 13 Comments [Tech]
- Wednesday, March 6, 2:01 PM Another week, another 5th place finish by NBC in the Nielsen ratings behind Fox, CBS, ABC, and Univision. In the large context for parent Comcast (CMCSA -0.1%), the issue with NBC is if a few big sporting events a year can sustain the typically-strong revenue the network division churns up or if a larger focus needs to be placed on cable properties. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 6, 1:17 PM Cable companies (CMCSA, CHTR, TWC, CVC) increasingly use their inherent advantage with two-way networks to nab customers from satellite players (DTV, DISH) stuck with a one-way network. When push comes to shove, DirecTV and Dish just can't offer customers the same breadth of video-on-demand content than cable rivals. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 5, 11:15 AM Disney (DIS +1.3%) works out a deal with Nielsen to adapt some of the ratings firm's online measures for advertisers looking to market across different mediums. The bigger issue: With the network industry getting set to pitch shows for advertisers and set upfront fees - look for more deals as CBS (CBS), NBC (CMCSA), A&E (AMCX), Fox (NWS) and TBS (TWX) scrap to have every eyeball counted while big spenders like Anheuser-Busch Inbev, Procter & Gamble, and Coca-Cola argue against it by contending the two mediums don't translate. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Saturday, March 2, 8:28 AM News Corp (NWS, NWSA) and Disney (DIS) are reportedly in talks which may end with one buying the other's stake in Hulu. The discussions stem from Disney's preference for an advertising-focused business model vs. News Corp.'s desire to rely on subscriptions. Comcast (CMCSA) also owns about one-third of Hulu, but is barred from an operational role or voting its stake. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, February 25, 10:56 AM NBC's unceremonious ratings tumble continues to astound media analysts with the latest development being that its expected 5th place sweeps finish (behind Univision) saw Saturday Night Live the top-rated show on the entire network even with its tricky time slot. The rub: The network has already sunk large costs into new fall series which if they don't succeed could dent profits for parent Comcast (CMCSA). 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 9:12 AM Macquarie downgrades Comcast (CMCSA) to Neutral from Outperform with an improved price target of $45. Yesterday, the news for its NBC property wasn't pretty - 5th place during the key sweeps period behind the big three networks and Univision. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 21, 3:04 PM It's a crushing blow for NBC (CMCSA -1.9%) as the network finishes fifth during the important sweeps week for the first time in its history. That CBS, ABC, and Fox would beat NBC was well-telegraphed, but a slip below Univision was a bit more painful for execs to take. The post-Olympics ratings rush is long over as the network hangs on by a thread as it waits for a return of The Voice and Revolution to its lineup. 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 20, 11:28 AM Cutting-edge Oscilloscope says it will be the first film distribution company to release a feature movie through mobile service Vine in a process which will chop its release up into a series of short looping videos. Though certainly not yet a medium which threatens the Hollywood studio model (TWX, DIS, LGF, VIAB, CMCSA, SNE), the development brings up some interesting revenue and promotional opportunities if the big players can harness the Internet interaction of their movies outside of the obligatory YouTube channel. Comment! [Consumer]

Premarket gainers: RCON +56%. PPHM +17%. EZCH +11%. WFR +9%. CMCSA +8%. GRPN +8%. VG +5%.
Losers: RATE -18%. CLF -14%. RAX -12%. AVEO -11%. AMX -6%. DF -6%. NICE -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, February 13, 7:02 AM Analyst reaction to Comcast's (CMCSA) deal to buy the remaining stake of NBCU is resoundingly positive. Nomura notes the acquisition will give NBC access to cable cash flow for investing purposes, while Evercore Partners thinks the deal price was attractive. Price target increases and EPS estimate increases are also filtering in on Comcast from up and down the Street. CMCSA +7.8% premarket. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 12, 6:59 PM Comcast's (CMCSA) $16.7B acquisition, plus its $1.4B purchase of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, plus $2B in share buybacks, plus a 20% dividend hike which could cost ~$320M/year, is more than enough to burn through $7.9B in free-cash flow it earned for 2012. But CEO Brian Roberts says its balance sheet means the deal isn’t a “big risk." Shareholders don't seem worried; shares +6.5% AH. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
