On October 6, Charter rose 5.08% in pre-market trading, trading at $113.0 per share with turnover of $3.5522 million. The move follows extreme volatility after Arete Capital slashed its price target to $68 while maintaining a sell rating, which had triggered bearish sentiment. Supporting the rebound, UBS noted that third-quarter broadband subscriber losses may widen due to fiber and convergence competition, as well as Starlink V3 constellation expansion, though financial metrics should improve modestly.
The company recently completed its Liberty Broadband acquisition and Cox Communications transaction, creating a combined broadband and video entity. Cox received $4 billion in cash along with equity units for an approximate 26% stake, and Charter plans to rebrand its parent as Cox Communications while retaining the Spectrum brand. Management expects synergies from the merger, though short-term integration risks and debt burdens remain challenges.
