Source: Annual filing · business description ↗2. What the reported results show
Latest source: 10-Q, reporting period ended 2026-06-30. Selected reported US-GAAP/USD comparisons. The period and basis of each measure are shown separately; year-to-date cash flow is not a quarterly figure. Missing comparisons are collection gaps, not evidence that a company has no revenue or earnings.
| Measure | Current | Prior year |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from customer contracts ↗Quarter: 2026-04-01–2026-06-30; prior 2025-04-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. Excludes assessed tax; this concept may exclude other company revenue. | $29,940m | $30,313m |
| Operating income ↗Quarter: 2026-04-01–2026-06-30; prior 2025-04-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. | $5,160m | $5,992m |
| Net income ↗Quarter: 2026-04-01–2026-06-30; prior 2025-04-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. | $3,526m | $11,123m |
| Operating cash flow ↗Six months (year to date): 2026-01-01–2026-06-30; prior 2025-01-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. Operating cash flow is not free cash flow or a standalone solvency assessment; inspect the full statement. | $14,983m | $16,109m |
Comparison caveat: Prior net income includes a Hulu sale gain. Versant was also included in prior operations but no longer consolidated after its completed separation; neither change is recurring operating growth.
10-Q · latest checked financial statements and discussion ↗3. The investment debate
Latticework interpretation of the reported results—not the stated motives of any investor.
What could support the case
If the NBCUniversal and Sky spin-off is completed, it could separate the two primary businesses, though the filing says no assurance exists that a separation will occur.
Supporting filing ↗The strongest caution
Competitors with greater resources, scale and more competitive pricing and packaging could adversely affect Comcast's businesses if it does not compete effectively.
Caution evidence ↗An interesting business is not necessarily an attractive investment at today's price. Price, dilution, financing terms and a valuation range still need investigation.
Inspect the evidence behind both sides ↗4. Three questions worth investigating
Use these to guide your research, not as conclusions that have already been proved.
How exposed is broadband to fiber and wireless rivals?
Starting evidence: Broadband competes with fiber-deploying wireline companies, wireless providers offering internet services, municipal networks and satellite providers, and subsidized networks may be built within its footprint.
Investigate next: Review segment commentary on broadband customer trends, pricing and competitive responses in the latest quarterly and annual filings.
Read the supporting filing ↗What does the planned spin-off change?
Starting evidence: The announced NBCUniversal and Sky spin-off is conditional, and reported results do not show what the company would look like afterward.
Investigate next: Look for pro forma disclosures, separation terms and any detail on which businesses and obligations move to each company.
Read the supporting filing ↗How much do content costs and rival streaming weigh on Content & Experiences?
Starting evidence: Content & Experiences and video face substantial, increasing competition, including from streaming providers commissioning high-cost programming and acquiring live sports rights.
Investigate next: Examine Media, Studios and Theme Parks segment results and any disclosed sports and programming cost commitments.
