What are Wall Street analysts saying about Liberty Global PLC Class A stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Liberty Global PLC Class A stock:
  • 1. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We updated our forecasts in front of 1Q results and a speculated German/E. Eastern Europe asset sale announcement next week. In a nutshell we left our rebased 1Q +3.5% revenue forecast unchanged, raised our 1Q rebased EBITDA growth forecast from +3% to +4% (on lower than forecast promotional activity + already announced Belgium 1Q strength), reduced our 1Q RGU forecast from +185K to +76K and updated currencies. We also conservatively reduced our RGU forecasts in the out years of our forecasts, offset partially by higher assumed U.K. ARPU’s. The changes drove a $4 reduction in our YE’18 target to $38. The RGU reduction was driven by: 1) aforementioned less low-end promotional activity specifically in the U.K. (which should show up in continued improving U.K." (5/4/2018)
  • 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Liberty Global continues to grow in the Europe and Central America through several mergers and acquisitions and is looking for more takeover options to expand its footprint. Launch of Telenet Innovation Center will help the company create and test new products focused on new mobile technologies. Liberty Global launched a new customer-friendly app, Connect App. The launch of DOCSIS 3.1 network services, joint venture with Vodafone in Netherlands, buyout of UTV Ireland TV stations from ITV, takeover of Cable & Wireless bode well for the company's growth. Over the past three months, the stock price moved up 18.6% as against the industry's gain of 8.7%. On the other hand, Liberty Global’s predominant operation in Europe remains a major concern. Further, stiff competition in the video, broadband, fixed-line telephony and mobile services business, foreign exchange rate risks and integration risks are major risks. " (1/22/2018)
