- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Charter is benefiting from subscriber growth in residential and commercial internet and voice segment. The partnership with Comcast to develop back-end software to support services for Xfinity and Spectrum mobile offerings is significantly positive for the company’s growth prospects. The collaboration will help in saving costs. However, Charter continues to struggle due to a saturated and competitive multi-channel U.S. video market. The company also faces stiff competition from online TV streaming service providers. We also view the company's high debt level and consolidation-related woes as major headwinds." (7/10/2018)
