Comcast reported first quarter revenue of $31.5 billion, up 11 percent year over year, beating consensus by $120 million. The company delivered earnings per share of $0.79, beating consensus of $0.73 by $0.06. Broadband customer losses improved significantly to 65,000 from 182,000 a year ago, marking the first improvement since late 2020. Wireless achieved record net additions of 435,000 lines, with nearly half coming from free line offers. Leadership highlighted strategic momentum from their restructured go-to-market approach, leveraging the Legendary February sports events to drive brand awareness and customer acquisition across connectivity products.
Guidance Management did not provide specific forward guidance for full year or next quarter. They stated expectations for continued broadband ARPU pressure in the second quarter but relief as the year exits. Peacock is expected to approach profitability in the second quarter. Free wireless lines will begin monetizing in the second half of the year, which should benefit convergence revenue growth.
Slightly positive report. The quarter was acceptable, but the forward setup is not strong.
