Comcast stock slips as Q2 revenue fell 1.2%

Comcast Corp. (US20030N1019) shares closed at $25.57 on August 17, 2026, down 2.33%, with a market value of $90.74 billion and an extended-session quote at $25.72 at 6:00 a.m. Eastern on August 18, 2026. The latest quarterly report showed earnings per share of $1.04 on July 23, 2026, while revenue fell 1.2% from a year earlier.
July 23 set the tone
The move comes after Comcast reported second-quarter results on July 23, 2026 that beat EPS estimates by $0.07, with $1.04 per share versus $0.97 expected. A separate broker-research page also points to a $32.96 average target, which leaves the shares below that level.
Broadband losses remain part of the mix: one report said Comcast lost 167,000 broadband subscribers in the second quarter of 2026. That figure gives investors a cleaner read on the core cable story than the headline EPS beat alone.
Valuation stays low
The stock trades at 8.28 times trailing earnings on one market page and 8.48 times on another, while the dividend yield is shown at 5.16% and 5.04%. Those numbers keep Comcast in value territory even after the post-earnings pullback.
Against that backdrop, the company is still being judged on execution rather than size alone. The current market setup reflects a business that is still producing cash while the broadband trend stays under scrutiny.
Comcast's core cable business
Comcast still leans on broadband, cable video, and NBCUniversal, with the cable segment doing most of the work for results and cash generation. The July 23 report makes broadband trends the key operating metric for the next update.
Price and trading levels
Comcast shares finished the August 17, 2026 session at $25.57, after trading at $25.72 in extended hours on August 18, 2026. The 52-week range on one market page is $21.28 to $34.45, which frames the current price in the lower half of that band.
