Liberty Broadband stock enters suspension after Charter deal
Published on 09/25/2026 at 14:29 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Liberty Broadband (ISIN US5303071071) closed at USD 35.99 on Nasdaq on August 19, 2026, 44.97 percent below its 52-week high of USD 65.40. The key development came on August 20, when MarketScreener reported that Charter Communications completed its acquisition of Liberty Broadband.
Charter deal ends the listing
The MarketScreener event record identifies the transaction as an acquisition of Liberty Broadband from a group of shareholders, with the completion dated August 20, 2026. The same page labels trading as suspended, changing the stock story from daily price discovery to the consequences of the completed corporate transaction.
Liberty Broadband was structured as a holding company with a major interest in Charter Communications. That structure made the value of its shares closely connected to Charter's operating results and to the market value of the underlying broadband business.
Q2 loss reverses first quarter
Liberty Broadband's Q2 2026 net loss was USD 2.125 billion, compared with net income of USD 203 million in Q1 2026, according to the MarketScreener financial calendar. The sequential swing was USD 2.328 billion from profit to loss, making the second-quarter result a material counterweight to any valuation discussion.
The calendar dates the Q2 2026 earnings release to July 29, 2026. It also lists the Q2 earnings presentation on August 6, 2026, giving the reporting period a clear timeline before the acquisition was completed.
Price stays below yearly high
The last official Nasdaq close of USD 35.99 on August 19, 2026, stood USD 9.85 above the 52-week low of USD 26.14 and USD 29.41 below the high of USD 65.40. The 52-week spread therefore places the final quoted Class A price materially nearer the low than the high.
Suspension defines the stock status
Liberty Broadband stock's final quoted Nasdaq level was USD 35.99 on August 19, 2026. The August 20 acquisition completion and the stated trading suspension are now the central facts for interpreting the last market quotation.
