Argus Starts Charter Communications (CHTR) at Buy, $300 PT

Argus initiates coverage on Charter Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR) with a Buy rating and a price target of $300, following its acquisitions of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks

The analyst said while the TWC and BH acquisitions have added significant scale to Charter, management has cautioned that upgrading and integrating the acquired systems will take several years. The integration will also entail high capital expenditures and operating costs.

"Still, we see significant opportunities for Charter as system upgrades proceed under the management of cable industry veteran Thomas Rutledge, the former COO of Cablevision," the analyst said.
