Q4 Earnings Review: Wireless, Cable and Satellite Stocks Led by Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA)
Quarterly earnings results are a good time to check in on a company's progress, especially compared to its peers in the same sector. Today we are looking at Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and the best and worst performers in the wireless, cable and satellite industry. The massive physical footprints of cell phone towers, fiber in the ground, or satellites in space make it challenging for companies in this industry to adjust to shifting consumer habits. Over the last decade-plus, consumers have 'cut the cord' to their landlines and traditional cable subscriptions in favor of wireless communications and streaming video. These trends do mean that more households need cell phone plans and high-speed internet. Companies that successfully serve customers can enjoy high retention rates and pricing power since the options for mobile and internet connectivity in any geography are usually limited. The 8 wireless, cable and satellite stocks we track reported a mixed Q4. As a group, revenues along with next quarter's revenue guidance were in line with analysts' consensus estimates. In light of this news, share prices of the companies have held steady. On average, they are relatively unchanged since the latest earnings results. Best Q4: Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Formerly known as American Cable Systems, Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is a multinational telecommunications company offering a wide range of services. Comcast reported revenues of $31.92 billion, up 2.1% year on year. This print exceeded analysts' expectations by 1%.

'We had the best financial performance in our company's 60-year history with record revenue, EBITDA and EPS along with significant free cash flow," said Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation. Comcast achieved the biggest analyst estimates beat and fastest revenue growth of the whole group. Investor expectations, however, were likely higher than Wall Street's published projections, leaving some wishing for even better results (analysts' consensus estimates are those published by big banks and advisory firms, not the investors who make buy and sell decisions).

Slowest Q4: Altice (NYSE:ATUS) Based in Long Island City, Altice USA (NYSE:ATUS) is a telecommunications company offering cable, internet, telephone, and television services across the United States.

The general rise in the price of goods and services is trending towards the Fed's 2% goal as of late, which is good news. The higher rates that fought inflation also didn't slow economic activity enough to catalyze a recession. So far, soft landing. This, combined with recent rate cuts (half a percent in September 2024 and a quarter percent in November 2024) have led to strong stock market performance in 2024. The icing on the cake for 2024 returns was Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. Presidential Election in early November, sending major indices to all-time highs in the week following the election. Still, debates around the health of the economy and the impact of potential tariffs and corporate tax cuts remain, leaving much uncertainty around 2025.

If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. More than a decade has passed since Apple introduced CarPlay, an intuitive software solution that puts car-friendly versions of iPhone apps on your infotainment display. While some automakers now support wireless CarPlay, many still require a USB connection. Thankfully, plenty of third-party adapters exist to help you cut the cord on Apple CarPlay. Revered for its low latency, this one from Jemluse is on sale for just $40 — more than half off the list price. The internet is flooded with cheap, low-quality accessories claiming to turn your wired CarPlay connection wireless. What sets this particular Jemluse model apart is the 7A microchip housed inside its sleek, compact enclosure. An 8-core processor powers its 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. As a result, Jemluse says its adapter is ten times faster than its downmarket competitors, and it's a lot less likely to periodically disconnect. 'The Wireless CarPlay Adapter performs well with stable, fast connections and no lag or dropouts during navigation, music, or messaging,' said one shopper. 'A plus for me is that it connects to my phone every time I get into the car! No need to constantly sit there and reconnect my phone to a cable!' 'Setup was a breeze—plug and play with no fuss—and within seconds, my CarPlay was up and running wirelessly,' remarked another customer. Constructed from aluminum alloy, the Jemluse wireless CarPlay adapter is also more durable and less susceptible to corrosion than plastic dongles, so you won't have to think about replacing it for a long time, if ever. In fact, the company has put it through the ringer, subjecting its cables and metal shells to over 50,000 stress tests, including benchmarks for corrosion, durability, and extreme heat and cold exposure. It survived temperatures as low as -20 degrees celsius and as high as 70 degrees celsius. 'Its sleek, black design fits seamlessly into my car's interior, and it's compact, so it doesn't take up much space,' a reviewer added. 'It's hardly noticeable, but I love how I don't have to hassle with cables!' The best-selling wireless CarPlay adapter on Amazon is only on sale for a limited time, so if your in-car tech setup is due for an upgrade, act now before this 60% discount expires.
