On November 13, Carol Schleif, BMO private wealth chief market strategist, joined ‘Squawk Box’ on CNBC to discuss the latest market trends, state of the economy, and takeaways from earnings season. Discussing the financial markets, Schleif confirmed that the market wants to trend to the upside and offered a fundamental market principle: new highs tend to beget new highs. She also provided two crucial points regarding valuations: valuations do not kill bull markets nor do they revive bear markets, and they can stay over- or undervalued for longer than typical fundamentals might suggest.

She then pivoted to the important underlying fundamentals that support the economy and the market in the intermediate and long term. This support was evident in the recent strong earnings season. With roughly 90% of results reported, Schleif cited an average of 8% top-line growth and 12% bottom-line growth, which shows that companies are actively growing profitability.

Earlier on October 28, Mark Sebastian, founder of Option Pit and Karman Line Capital, joined BNN Bloomberg to discuss the latest moves in the S&P 500 amid new all-time highs in the stock market. Sebastian affirmed that the S&P 500 is absolutely experiencing big swings. He explained that over the last couple of weeks, the S&P’s movement has indicated that options on US markets are probably too inexpensive.

10 Cheap US Stocks to Buy According to Analysts

10. Charter Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR)

Forward P/E Ratio as of November 18: 4.65

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 56

Average Upside Potential as of November 18: 46.99%

Charter Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) is one of the cheap US stocks to buy according to analysts. On November 4, Oppenheimer downgraded Charter to Perform from Outperform and removed the firm’s $500 price target. Oppenheimer has issued a cautious outlook on Charter Communications, due to several financial and operational concerns. The firm noted that in Q3 2025, Charter’s revenue saw a slight year-over-year decline of 0.9% to $13.7 billion. While Oppenheimer acknowledges that Charter’s new video strategy is successful, leading to demonstrably better sub trends, this positive performance is being overshadowed by a broader, persistent decline in its core broadband customer base.

In its Q3 earnings report, Charter Communications reported that its revenue for the quarter declined due to customer attrition and a difficult comparison with the previous year’s political advertising revenue. Similarly, EBITDA decreased by 1.5% year-over-year, although it was flat when the effect of advertising revenue was excluded. The company’s net income was $1.1 billion, a decrease from $1.3 billion reported in the same quarter last year.

However, Charter showed positive momentum in its mobile and video segments. The company added 493,000 Spectrum Mobile lines, contributing to a ~20% year-over-year increase in total mobile lines. Video customer losses improved, with a decline of only 70,000 customers, which is a substantial improvement compared to the loss of 294,000 video customers in the prior year. This was attributed to product improvements and new pricing/packaging.

Charter Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) operates as a broadband connectivity and cable operator company serving residential and commercial customers in the US.
