Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41999904/disney-ceo-bob-iger-slams-the-brakes-on-new-ma-amid-comcasts-cable-spinoff-we-dont-need-more-assets-to-compete-in-todays-disruptive-media-landscape">spin off its cable networks into a new company</a>.
The stock declined by 9% since Monday after management guided to "a marginal competitively driven increase in Broadband subscriber losses" and the shares are currently "oversold," according to Seaport Research Partners.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58f614b60bd9910001a77adf/david-joyce">Analyst David Joyce</a> upgraded the rating for Comcast from Neutral to Buy, while maintaining the price target at $46.
The Comcast Thesis: Comcast Cable&#8217;s CEO indicated that broadband competition had intensified and guided to a net loss of 100,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2024, Joyce said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
This is only 33,000 lower than the previous estimate, on Comcast's base of 32 million subscribers, and the stock reactions seems "overdone," he added.
"Concurrently, Comcast announced a broad-reaching distribution renewal with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) for linear and Max properties domestically and with Comcast&#8217;s Sky in Europe — this should be construed positively for both CMCSA and WBD," the analyst wrote.
This makes Comcast "appear constructive on supporting the broader linear industry ahead of its Cable Networks spinoff later in 2025," he added.
CMCSA Price Action: Shares of Comcast had risen by 1.04% to $40.12 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Shares of Charter Communications Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>) were trading higher on Thursday, after declining by nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CHTR">6% over the past five trading sessions</a>.
The company's capex is set to peak in 2025, resulting in free cash flow growth, according to KeyBanc Capital Markets.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f8cd40efacff000111b43b/brandon-nispel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Analyst Brandon Nispel</a> upgraded the rating for Charter Communications from Sector Weight to Overweight while establishing the price target at $500.
The Charter Communications Thesis: The company is likely to generate "modestly better underlying Broadband subscriber trends" in 2025, while Rural net adds are expected to accelerate, Nispel said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Charter Communications is likely to report Broadband net adds of 29,000, significantly better than the consensus estimate of a decline of 69,000, he added.
Management guided to capex peaking in 2025 at $12 billion to $12.5 billion, then declining toward $8.0 billion in 2027 and 2028, "as its rural build and DOCSIS 4.0 upgrade are complete," the analyst stated. "We think regardless of what happens on the subscriber side, capex is set to move lower post &#8217;25, and FCF is set to accelerate" and reach nearly $8.0 billion by 2027, he further wrote.
CHTR Price Action: Shares of Charter Communications were up 1.8% to $385.32 at the time of publication Thursday.

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) whale Shibtoshi, known for his mysterious persona and gold-themed public mask, has risen to prominence in the crypto world. 
Operating mostly under a veil of anonymity, he shared his story of turning 37 ETH into a multi-billion-dollar Shiba Inu fortune while navigating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42169183/dont-get-fooled-by-the-success-of-dogecoin-shiba-inu-76-of-x-twitter-influencers-promote-dead-meme-coins-study-reveals">volatile world of cryptocurrency.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Turning 37 ETH Into $5.7 Billion In Shiba Inu</h3>
Shibtoshi's crypto journey began in 2011 after a poker game in Las Vegas led to his first Bitcoin purchase.
By 2020, he had shifted focus to meme coins, buying into Shiba Inu shortly after its launch on Aug. 1, 2020.
Using just 37 ETH, worth about $12,765 at the time, he accumulated 104 trillion tokens, which peaked at a value of $5.7 billion.
However, Shibtoshi explains that such large holdings present liquidity challenges. 
"I wasn't going to be able to offload that all in one go without crashing the entire ecosystem," he <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/how-shibtoshi-gambled-95k-shiba-inu-billionaire/">told</a> Cointelegraph Magazine.
Instead, he learned to sell gradually during high-volume trading days to avoid destabilizing the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Beyond Meme Coins</h3>
Branching out from trading, Shibtoshi ventured into creating crypto utility platforms. 
In June 2022, he launched SquidGrow, a meme coin that has since evolved into a multi-chain ecosystem offering utilities like Inkubate (an NFT marketplace), SGS Trade (a decentralized exchange) and Knox Locker (a liquidity locker).
One of his latest projects, SilentSwap, is a decentralized, non-custodial privacy aggregator for cross-chain transactions. Built on the Secret Network, it focuses on programmable privacy and encrypted transactions. 
SilentSwap reflects his broader mission of filling gaps in the crypto space by building innovative solutions.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Self-Taught Builder</h3>
Despite admitting he's "not a good coder," Shibtoshi taught himself Solidity over six weeks to launch his first project. 
While his early coding efforts included missteps—such as accidentally creating a honeypot contract—he has since leaned on experienced developers to execute his vision.
Shibtoshi emphasizes transparency and accessibility within his community, ensuring members can engage directly with him and his team. 
"Trust has to be earned and never given," he says.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Strategy And Longevity</h3>
Despite his significant wealth, Shibtoshi's life is anything but ordinary.
Between trading sessions and building new ventures, he enjoys decompressing with hobbies like hunting and shooting. 
His social media showcases videos of him firing machine guns and tank cannons.
To sustain his projects, Shibtoshi has invested heavily, including $600,000 in security audits for SquidGrow. 
He employs creative financial strategies, such as using collateralized loans against his crypto holdings to offset tax liabilities.
As for his outlook on U.S. crypto policy, Shibtoshi is optimistic about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42444623/trump-admins-crypto-push-revives-industry-hopes-for-banking-access">regulatory clarity</a> expected under Donald Trump's presidency.

Wall Street faced a murky morning on Thursday as fresh data revealed a jump in wholesale prices alongside a sharp rise in jobless claims. These conflicting signals rattled investors, casting doubt on the trajectory of the economy and the Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">Reserve&#8217;s interest rate strategy.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – fell by 0.2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – dropped 0.4%. Small caps fared worse, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) shedding 0.9%. 
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index – as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – strengthened after an initial dip.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wholesale Inflation Soars: PPI Hits 3%, Highest Since February 2023</h3>
The Producer Price Index (PPI) surged to 3% year-over-year in November, the steepest increase since February 2023. This marked a jump from October&#8217;s revised 2.6% and exceeded economists&#8217; forecasts of 2.6%. On a monthly basis, PPI rose 0.4%, doubling market expectations.
Core PPI inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, climbed 0.2% for the month (meeting estimates) and hit 3.4% annually.
These numbers come on the heels of November's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which showed a 2.7% year-over-year increase, as expected.
Six out of the last seven PPI inflation reports have been revised higher, as The Kobeissi Letter highlighted on social media X 
"CPI, PPI, and PCE inflation are all officially back on the rise in the United States. What is happening here?"

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Jobless Claims Climb</h3>
Adding to the turbulence, initial jobless claims jumped by 17,000 last week to 242,000, smashing expectations of 220,000. This marks the sharpest increase since October. Continuing claims, which measure people still receiving unemployment benefits, climbed to 1.886 million, nearing the three-year high of 1.908 million recorded last month.
Jobless claims rose significantly in states like California, up by 14,800, Texas, up by 9,500, and New York, up by 9,200.
This outcome may challenge the idea that the U.S. labor market remains tight. 
As highlighted by Nick Timiraos, chief economics correspondent at the Wall Street Journal, continuing claims for unemployment insurance are now running slightly above levels seen in 2018-2019.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economist Reactions: What&#8217;s Next For The Fed? </h3>
&#8220;Look for these numbers to fuel something I&#8217;ve been posting about for a while: the likelihood of relatively sticky inflation, and, associated with that, the choice that the Fed will face in its policy deliberation on the &#8220;last mile&#8221; to its inflation target of 2%," economist Mohamed El Erian wrote on X. 
Clark Bellin, president of Bellwether Wealth, said, "While Thursday&#8217;s PPI was stronger-than-expected, we believe the Federal Reserve will still proceed with its expected 25 basis-point rate cut in December."
Yet, persistent inflation and a weakening labor market may limit the Fed&#8217;s flexibility in 2025. "The trajectory for interest rates remains uncertain," Bellin added.
Bank of America&#8217;s economist Stephen Juneau offered a more tempered view, stating: "We expect core PCE to rise by 0.1% m/m in November, with risk of rounding up to 0.2%. This would leave the y/y rate at 2.8%."
&#8220;This would be welcome news for the Fed after core PCE rose by 0.3% m/m in October and September,&#8221; he added. 
Bank of America expects the Fed to cut in December and then two more times next year in March and June for a terminal of 3.75%-4.00%.
