Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall upgraded Comcast Corp (NASDAQ: CMCSA) from Underweight to Equal Weight with a price target of $38.00 (from $30.00).

The analyst comments "Upgrading to Equal Weight. We've been long-time bears on CMCSA. Some of the theses have played out with Cable derating as competition for subscribers has advanced from FWA and fiber. We expect the y/y headwind from these industries to push broadband net adds modestly negative in 2023E. Combined with higher video losses we now forecast Cable segment Adj. EBITDA growth of +0% in '23E and +LSD% for 2024-25E. However, this is not materially out of consensus and justifies CMCSA's lower multiple of ~7x EV/EBITDA and 10x P/E. Higher competition = lower multiple in our view."
