Growth Will Likely Remain Elusive, but Comcast Remains a Solidly Positioned Firm

Comcast’s core cable business, which accounts for more than half of the firm’s value, enjoys significant competitive advantages but will likely see growth slow as competition for incremental customers heats up. NBCUniversal isn’t as well positioned but holds unique assets, including core content franchises and theme parks, that should help the transition away from the traditional television business. Overall, we expect Comcast will deliver modest growth with strong cash flow for the foreseeable future.
