The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter 2024 revenues is pegged at $13.72 billion, indicating a 0.53% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus mark for earnings has moved down 11 cents to $7.67 per share in the past 30 days, suggesting an increase of 15.34% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
CHTR’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters and missed twice, the average negative surprise being 4.2%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Charter Communications, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Charter Communications’ strategic investments in network infrastructure and fiber-optic construction, particularly through Spectrum's expanding network, are likely to have contributed to CHTR’s prospects in the to-be-reported quarter.
Continuous enhancements in the company's Spectrum One network have been a major growth driver. Fourth-quarter total residential and SMB Internet customers increased 61K. As of Dec 31, 2023, Charter Communications served a total of 7.8 million mobile lines. The momentum is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for mobile lines’ net additions in the first quarter is pegged at 480K.
CHTR’s total residential revenues are likely to reflect a strong momentum in its mobile service segment, partly offset by lower voice and video revenues. A higher mix of non-video customers and growth of lower-priced video packages is expected to have kept the top line under pressure.
In the to-be-reported quarter, Charter Communications partnered with Disney (DIS - Free Report) to bring ESPN+ for Spectrum TV Select Plus customers at no additional cost. This partnership offers subscribers access to a wide range of exclusive sports.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total residential revenues is pegged at $10.78 billion, indicating a decline of 0.6% year over year. The consensus mark for total residential customer relationships is pegged at 29.85 million, suggesting a decline of 0.5% year over year.
The top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have been affected by the increasing competition in the cable space and sluggish Internet subscribers’ addition rate.
