Here is what Motiwala Capital has to say about Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) in its Q4 2021 investor letter:

“Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR) is the second-largest cable service provider in the US providing video, data, and voice services under the Spectrum brand. Charter had a market cap of $130 billion at purchase and is likely to generate upwards of $8B in free cash flow in 2021. The company re-purchases shares at a high rate and fcf/share have been growing in the mid-teens %. The company has been investing in nascent mobile services which are not profitable currently. There is potential for this business to be profitable as it scales. Another possibility is to shut down the service if it does turn a profit in a few years. Both outcomes should increase the profits at CHTR from the current levels. Debt is high but the recurring cash flows allow it to service the debt.”
