What are Wall Street analysts saying about Charter Communications stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Charter Communications stock:

1. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We remain bullish the CHTR’s ability to take broadband market share, which, along with cost cutting, should drive margin expansion and EBITDA growth, fueling a levered equity shrink leading to FCF per share growing 25% p.a. through ‘24E. Our DCF driven $480 price target is unchanged and implies a 15x forward multiple on fully taxed FCF a year from now." (7/29/2019)
2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We don’t view the CHTR investment thesis as rocket science. We see healthy operational upside driven by much higher margin Data gains (70%+ EBITDA margins) that will overwhelm slowing PayTV (~15-20% EBITDA margins) + the benefits of the sizeable plant investments + changes to packages/promotions, should drive high single digit EBITDA CAGR through ’24 (boosted by waning wireless losses in ’20 and a likely huge year for high margin political advertising) + positive effects of what we expect will be massive accelerations in share repurchase activity. In the end, the cable thesis remains about leveraging best in class data plant to take share/price and the recent moves to 1 gig across their footprint is just the start of a cost-effective move to offer 10+gig bi-directional, which should only strengthen CHTR’s market position and their ability to take share and price." (7/26/2019)
