INDIANAPOLIS - Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA), a prominent player in the media industry with a market capitalization of $141.75 billion, has reaffirmed its commitment to the sport of gymnastics by renewing its role as the title sponsor of the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships and as the presenting partner for USA Gymnastics National and World Championships teams leading up to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with a robust EBITDA of $38.1 billion in the last twelve months. The announcement made today highlights the ongoing relationship between the media and technology giant and the national governing body for gymnastics in the United States.
Under the extended partnership, Comcast’s Xfinity brand will maintain its status as the official Internet, Mobile, and Video provider for USA Gymnastics through 2028. This collaboration is set to support the U.S. National Gymnastics Teams as they prepare for the LA 2028 Olympics while also promoting the development of the sport nationwide. The company’s financial stability is evidenced by its consistent dividend payments, which it has maintained for 18 consecutive years, with a current yield of 3.53% and a 13.79% dividend growth in the last twelve months.
Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships & Engagement at Comcast, expressed pride in supporting the U.S. gymnastics athletes and enthusiasm for the continued partnership, particularly as the country prepares to host the Summer Olympic & Paralympic Games for the first time in over three decades.
The 2025 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships are scheduled to take place from August 7 to August 10 in New Orleans. Additionally, Comcast will contribute to the growth of USA Gymnastics’ programs, such as HUGS, which caters to athletes with special needs, and will support adaptive programs within the sport.
USA Gymnastics President and CEO Li Li Leung welcomed the extension of the partnership with Comcast, acknowledging the company’s role in enhancing the experience of the Paris Olympic journey and looking forward to their collaboration for the upcoming Los Angeles Games.
The renewal of this partnership underscores Comcast NBCUniversal’s long-term commitment to the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a legacy that began with NBC’s coverage of the events and was solidified when Comcast acquired NBCUniversal in 2011. Since then, Comcast has secured U.S. media rights for the Olympics through 2036. InvestingPro analysis suggests the company is currently undervalued, with a P/E ratio of 9.02 and strong profitability metrics.
