(US16119P1084) tied to a $148.38 quote and a -3.58% session move, while the company also just finished a $34.5 billion Cox Communications takeover.

Deal close lands
The takeover of Cox Communications gives the cable operator a larger scale push at a time when investors are still watching the core broadband and video mix. A report published on August 27, 2026 said the acquisition was finalized after regulatory approval, and a separate filing hub listed Charter Communications 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K forms on August 27, 2026.
Latest figures
Yahoo Finance data showed market cap at $18.36 billion, revenue at $54.4 billion, EBITDA at $21.81 billion and diluted EPS at $37.04, with the most recent quarter marked June 30, 2026. Those figures sit alongside a quarterly revenue growth rate of -1.70% and quarterly earnings growth of -0.70%, which points to a business still under pressure even after the deal news.
For investors, the comparison matters: the company traded at $148.38 on August 28, 2026, while the valuation snapshot also showed a $18.36 billion market cap and an enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 5.36. That mix leaves the stock tied to execution on integration as much as to the broader cable trend.
