Comcast - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Comcast
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Comcast Co.:

Comcast Co. has a strong market capitalization of approximately $138.57 billion, indicating its substantial presence and stability in the market.
The stock is currently trading at $36.65, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in a well-established company.
Recent institutional interest is notable, with 84.32% of the stock owned by hedge funds and institutional investors, suggesting confidence in the company's future performance.
Comcast Co. has shown resilience with a P/E ratio of 8.83, which is relatively low compared to industry averages, potentially indicating that the stock is undervalued.

Comcast
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Comcast Co. for these reasons:

Comcast Co. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.09, which indicates that the company is using a significant amount of debt to finance its operations, potentially increasing financial risk.
The stock has experienced fluctuations, with a 50-day moving average of $36.73 and a 200-day moving average of $39.62, suggesting volatility that may concern risk-averse investors.
Recent reports indicate that some institutional investors, such as ICICI Prudential Asset Management Co. and Financiere des Professionnels Fonds d'investissement inc., have reduced their holdings, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
Despite a strong market presence, the company faces intense competition in the cable and telecommunications industry, which could impact its market share and profitability.
The current economic environment may pose challenges for Comcast Co., as consumer spending on entertainment and cable services can be sensitive to economic downturns.
