Comcast (CMCSA - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $30.40, moving -1.75% from the previous trading session. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.06%. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 0.17%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 0.39%.
Shares of the cable provider have depreciated by 8.7% over the course of the past month, underperforming the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 1.49%, and the S&P 500's gain of 3.94%.
Investors will be eagerly watching for the performance of Comcast in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company's earnings report is set to be unveiled on October 30, 2025. On that day, Comcast is projected to report earnings of $1.11 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 0.89%. Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $30.65 billion, showing a 4.42% drop compared to the year-ago quarter.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.29 per share and revenue of $123 billion. These totals would mark changes of -0.92% and -0.59%, respectively, from last year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for Comcast. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 0.12% lower. Comcast is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
In terms of valuation, Comcast is presently being traded at a Forward P/E ratio of 7.21. This indicates a premium in contrast to its industry's Forward P/E of 7.15.
Also, we should mention that CMCSA has a PEG ratio of 1.81. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. By the end of yesterday's trading, the Cable Television industry had an average PEG ratio of 0.85.
