With a market cap of $122.6 billion, Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) is a global media and technology company. It operates across five key segments: Residential Connectivity & Platforms; Business Services Connectivity; Media; Studios; and Theme Parks, delivering broadband, wireless, entertainment, and immersive experiences worldwide.

Shares of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based company have underperformed the broader market over the past 52 weeks. CMCSA stock has decreased 19.3% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied 16.6%. In addition, shares of Comcast are down 12.5% on a YTD basis, compared to SPX’s 8.3% rise.

Moreover, the media giant stock has lagged behind the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF Fund’s (XLC) 25.4% gain over the past 52 weeks.

Shares of Comcast rose 2.1% following its Q1 2025 results on Apr. 24. The company reported adjusted EPS of $1.09, beating the consensus estimate, and free cash flow surged to $5.42 billion. Despite a slight revenue decline to $29.9 billion, Comcast outperformed estimates, and strong performance from Peacock, with 41 million paid subscribers and 16% revenue growth, further supported investor confidence.

For the current fiscal year, ending in December 2025, analysts expect CMCSA's EPS to decline marginally year-over-year to $4.31. However, the company's earnings surprise history is strong. It beat the consensus estimates in the last four quarters.

Among the 31 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 15 “Strong Buy” ratings, 14 “Holds,” and two “Strong Sells.”

On Jul. 25, Rosenblatt raised its price target on Comcast to $37 while maintaining a “Neutral” rating, citing a Q2 preview that factors in Peacock's July 23 $3 price hike, strong upfronts, and new broadband pricing.

As of writing, the stock is trading below the mean price target of $40.46. The Street-high price target of $58 implies a potential upside of 76.7% from the current price levels.
