Investing.com - Rosenblatt maintained its Neutral rating on Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA) while raising its price target to $38.00 from $37.00 following the company’s second-quarter earnings report released on July 30. Currently trading at $32.74, the stock appears undervalued according to InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, with a P/E ratio of just 5.4x and an attractive 4.06% dividend yield.
The price target increase reflects Rosenblatt’s updated projections, which include 1% to 2% increases in consolidated 2025 estimated revenue, EBITDA, and adjusted EPS for the telecommunications conglomerate.
Rosenblatt noted that Comcast is implementing a new "everyday low pricing" strategy in hopes of stabilizing its broadband business, which has faced competitive pressures in recent quarters.
The firm highlighted positive developments in Comcast’s Content and Experiences division, citing momentum at the Peacock streaming service, ongoing investments in theme parks, and continued success in film production.
Rosenblatt also referenced Comcast’s planned spinoff of most of its cable networks—including MSNBC, CNBC, USA, SyFy, Oxygen, and Golf—into a new entity called Versant, expected to be completed in late 2025 or early 2026.
