On April 16, Morgan Stanley assumed coverage of Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) with an Equal Weight rating. It also set a $31 price target on the stock. The firm said the current valuation looks “attractive,” but does not see a near-term catalyst for multiple expansion. The analyst pointed to expectations for continued broadband net losses as a key overhang.

Comcast generated a record $19 billion in free cash flow in 2025 and returned nearly all of it to shareholders. A large share of that cash still comes from its broadband business, which is now under pressure. The segment lost more than 700,000 domestic customers as fiber and fixed wireless competition picked up. That backdrop helps explain why the stock trades at about 8 times forward earnings. The valuation reflects concerns that its core cash flow engine may be in structural decline.

Pressure in the connectivity business, the company’s largest and most profitable segment, has been building. Competition from fixed wireless access has been a major factor. Customer attrition did not just continue and it increased by 73% last year. Losses also picked up pace as the year progressed, as the company lost 181,000 customers in the fourth quarter, compared with 104,000 in the third.

Management has taken steps to respond. The company is spinning off its cable networks into Versant Media to streamline operations. It has also introduced aggressive promotions aimed at retaining broadband customers and expanding wireless adoption. These efforts are expected to weigh on EBITDA margins through 2026.

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) operates across Residential Connectivity & Platforms, Business Services Connectivity, Media, Studios, and Theme Parks.
