Industry View In-Line

for more degrees of freedom from a strategic option standpoint. Price target $33.00

Shr price, close (Jun 26, 2026) $23.17

Cable could benefit from greater scale & synergies with another large ISP, while Mkt cap, curr (mm) $84,980

multiples likely remain depressed vs historical given the competitive backdrop. 52-Week Range $34.34-22.13

NBCU looks more like DIS than other Media assets given Parks, Studio, Broadcast

& Peacock, which argues for a higher multiple. Remain EW with a $33 base PT.

From a credit perspective, we reiterate our CMCSA '35/'55 steepener rec. as

downgrade/structural risk should continue to pressure the long end of the curve.
