Comcast (CMCSA) Signs Deal With Starlink to Aid Connectivity
Read MoreHide Full Article
Comcast’s (CMCSA - Free Report) division, Comcast Business, recently announced a strategic agreement with Starlink to provide connectivity solutions for its enterprise customers. This collaboration integrates advanced satellite capabilities from Starlink into Comcast Business’ Managed Connectivity portfolio. The initiative targets enterprise customers, particularly those operating in underserved regions where traditional networks may be limited or unreliable.
Enterprises with multiple and disparate locations often encounter unique challenges related to connectivity. Comcast Business and Starlink’s collaboration aims to address these demands by providing robust, managed connectivity solutions tailored to the specific needs of enterprise customers. Moreover, the partnership between Comcast Business and Starlink not only addresses the connectivity needs of enterprises in underserved regions but also enhances network redundancy.
Comcast Business recently acquired some notable customers. These include the Family Justice Center of Washington County to support the organization’s growing connectivity needs. Comcast Business’ other clients, Clean Earth and Thimble Island Brewing Company, serve as technological backbones to support the company.
Comcast’s Strong Partner Base Aids Long-Term Prospects
Comcast Business has acquired some notable customers, which are supported by a strong partner base of the company.
Comcast recently expanded its partnerships to enhance connectivity and entertainment options for consumers. Crossings TV, the prominent Asian American television network, has extended its reach across CMCSA’s Xfinity platform, which is now accessible on Xfinity X1 and the Xfinity Stream app.
Additionally, Comcast's collaboration with Yardi through Xfinity Communities integrates high-speed Internet services. Furthermore, CMCSA has introduced NOW Internet and NOW Mobile, featuring low-cost, contract-free options powered by the company’s robust network infrastructure, ensuring flexible and accessible connectivity solutions nationwide.
These partnerships underscore Comcast's commitment to expanding service offerings and enhancing customer experience across diverse sectors, which is expected to aid the long-term prospects of the company.
However, CMCSA faces tough competition from streaming service providers, including Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) , Disney’s (DIS - Free Report) Disney+ and Apple’s (AAPL - Free Report) Apple TV+. In the theme park segment, the company faces competition from Disney.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have plunged 12.2% year to date compared with the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector’s decline of 0.3%. The stock has also underperformed Netflix, which gained 40.9%, followed by DIS’ growth of 13.3% and Apple’s rise of 7.8% in the same time frame. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Conclusion
Comcast’s strong partner base and expanding clientele make it an important player. However, strong competition remains a major concern for the company.
CMCSA also persistently suffers from video-subscriber attrition due to cord-cutting. Additionally, the company lost 65K domestic broadband customers in the first quarter of 2024. Moreover, it lost 487K video customers.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CMCSA’s second-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.12 per share, which has declined by a cent in the past 60 days. The consensus mark for 2024 earnings is pegged at $4.21 per share, which has declined by 2 cents in the past 60 days.
