The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $13.74 billion, indicating a decline of 1.34% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for earnings is pinned at $10.4 per share, up by a penny over the past 30 days. The figure suggests a 2.97% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
CHTR surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in two of the trailing four quarters, with an average negative surprise of 3.65%.
Charter Communications, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Let us see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Consider
Charter Communications is expected to have entered the fourth quarter of 2025 facing considerable headwinds from an intensified competitive landscape and challenging macroeconomic conditions. The broadband provider is expected to have been grappling with heightened competition from fixed wireless providers and continued fiber overbuilding across its footprint. The macro environment is expected to have remained pressured by low housing move rates and elevated mobile substitution, factors that are likely to have been constraining gross customer additions and creating intense competition for a limited pool of new subscribers throughout the quarter.
Internet customer losses are anticipated to continue at challenging levels, while political advertising revenue is expected to create a year-over-year headwind compared to the prior-year period's elevated levels. Some new pricing offers explored during the previously reported quarter are expected to have been impacting average revenue per user growth in the early part of the fourth quarter before being pulled from the market in November, indicating ongoing challenges in balancing customer acquisition with revenue optimization.
However, certain stabilizing factors may be providing modest support to the to-be-reported results. CHTR's mobile business is expected to sustain its growth trajectory. Video customer losses are anticipated to narrow compared to prior-year levels, aided by the inclusion of programmer streaming applications valued at over $125 monthly. The launch of the Spectrum App Store is expected to facilitate easier streaming service activation and discovery, potentially supporting video customer retention efforts. CHTR’s partnership with Amazon Web Services on generative AI applications is anticipated to position the company for improved software development efficiency and operational cost optimization over the longer term.
