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. recently reported a quarterly earnings per share (EPS) of $1.12, exceeding analyst expectations of $1.06, indicating strong financial performance and effective management.
The company has a solid revenue growth of 6.5% year-over-year, with reported revenue of $32.07 billion, showcasing its ability to expand and capture market share.
Comcast Co. has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share, which translates to an annualized yield of 3.08%. This consistent dividend payment can provide a steady income stream for investors.
As of midday trading, Comcast Co.'s stock price is $40.24, which is below its 52-week high of $47.11, suggesting potential for price appreciation as the market recovers.

Comcast
Bear Case

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

Insider selling has been observed, with the CEO selling 234,464 shares, which may raise concerns about the company's future performance and insider confidence.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 1.14, indicating a relatively high level of debt compared to equity, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
Despite recent revenue growth, the company's quick ratio is 0.72, suggesting potential liquidity issues that could affect its ability to meet short-term obligations.
Comcast Co. has a PE ratio of 10.82, which, while not excessively high, may indicate that the stock is fairly valued, limiting potential for significant price increases.
Recent analyst downgrades, including a shift from "strong-buy" to "buy," may signal a cautious outlook on the stock's performance moving forward.
