Charter Communications (ISIN US16119P1084) closed at USD 111.40 on Nasdaq on September 28, 2026, down 1.34 percent for the session and USD 1.05 above its 52-week low.

Analyst target moves lower

Morgan Stanley's new USD 140.00 target remains USD 28.60 above the September 28 closing price, a 25.67 percent difference. The revision gives investors a concrete measure of the debate around Charter's valuation, especially after the stock moved from USD 285.82 at its 52-week high to USD 111.40.

The wider analyst picture is also cautious. MarketBeat lists a Reduce consensus, a USD 215.17 average price target, five Buy ratings, ten Hold ratings and six Sell ratings as of September 29, 2026.

Q2 earnings beat estimates

Charter's second-quarter 2026 results provide a mixed operating picture. Revenue was USD 13.53 billion, slightly above the USD 13.51 billion consensus, while diluted EPS reached USD 10.66 versus USD 9.98 expected, according to MarketBeat in its September 26, 2026 report. EPS therefore exceeded consensus by USD 0.68, while revenue declined 1.70 percent year over year.

The operating split matters. Charter added 406,000 mobile lines in Q2 2026 but lost 172,000 internet customers, according to the company's earnings-call transcript. That contrast helps explain why an earnings beat has not removed pressure on the stock: mobile expansion is measurable, while broadband customer trends remain the central operating test.
