Comcast Corp Q3 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Michael Rollins - Citi - Analyst : Congratulations, Mike, on being named co-CEO, and Dave becoming Vice Chair. Just a couple of questions, so first on broadband. Just curious if you could share some more context around the evolution of ARPU and what you're seeing in terms of customers migrating to the new plans and the opportunities to build better retention, but the cost of that coming through on the revenue side. And then on convergence, you referenced the 2.5% growth in the quarter. As you continue to market the new slate of offers and promotions, is there an anticipation that this rate of growth should improve over time? Thanks.

Question: Michael Ng - Goldman Sachs Group Inc - Analyst : I wanted to just ask a little bit more about the trajectory of C&P EBITDA next year. We obviously talked a lot about the ARPU side. Just on the OpEx side, could you talk a little bit about the investments that you're doing there, whether that be in CPE, sales and marketing, or customer service to support the reset here?

Question: Craig Moffett - Moffettnathanson LLC - Analyst : Two questions. First, Dave, I just want to say congratulations on an exceptionally successful and long run as President of the cable side of the business. Two questions, if I could. First, I have to ask about all the speculation about Warner Bros. Discovery. So Brian, if you could just share any thoughts about how you think about those assets, the complementarity of those assets and whether or not, in this political environment, M&A of that kind is even possible. And then on the cable side of the business, I wonder if you could just talk about the transition at Verizon to Dan Schulman and whether you expect that to have any implications for the relationship you have with Verizon and the MVNO?

Question: Ben Swinburne - Morgan Stanley - Analyst : I guess two questions. One, I wanted to get a sense a little bit of how you're thinking about the conversion of free wireless lines to pay next year. We've sort of seen this in others in the industry. But how are you guys just ensuring that the customer quality is there and making sure you're putting in kind of the right guardrails, so that when you get to that point a year from now, we see that nice uptick in convergence revenue growth? And then, Jason, you mentioned a couple of things on Epic, focusing on expanding ride throughput, etcetera, operating leverage. Can you just talk a little bit more about what you were referring to there and kind of what we should expect as we move through 2026? Thanks so much.

Question: Jessica Reif - Bank of America - Analyst : Two things. Given the meaningful sports investment plus the overall content investment at Peacock, what are your plans to scale up, if any, globally? If you are, do you need to participate in M&A to actually do that? And if not, I know there was an earlier question, but what is your view on NBCU's competitive position if you don't participate since this seems like a moment in time? And then the second thing, if you could talk a little bit more -- in more detail about your advertising outlook. We saw Google had like really strong results yesterday. Maybe you could drill down a little bit on -- not that you're competing directly, but just what you're seeing in your various lines of business, both Cable and Media, and how the move towards programmatic might be affecting those businesses?

Question: John Hodulik - UBS - Analyst : Great. Maybe a follow-up to a previous question. Is there evidence that wireless and convergence in general is lowering churn in the broadband base? And if we focus more just on the free line promotion, is that helping the overall trend as it relates to new connects? And then a second question on the business market. Business trends have held up pretty well, actually been pretty stable. And I realize you have the acquisition in there. But you guys gave a lot of forward comment on what I think related to the residential business, but how do you see competition shaping up in the business market? And can those business trends sort of remain pretty solid right now, as you look forward? REFINITIV STREETEVENTS | www.refinitiv.com | Contact Us consent of Refinitiv.
