On July 28, Charter rose 5.12% in regular trading, trading at $137.64/share, with turnover of $164 million. The stock was buoyed by a combination of stronger-than-expected Q2 earnings and ongoing optimism surrounding a potential SpaceX collaboration.
Charter reported Q2 earnings per share of $10.66, exceeding the consensus estimate of $10.14 by approximately 5% and representing a 16.1% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $13.53 billion, slightly above expectations. While broadband subscriber losses of 172,000 exceeded market forecasts, the strong profitability drove share price recovery after initial pressure. Additionally, the market continues to price in positive expectations regarding high-level discussions between SpaceX and Charter on consumer mobile phone services. If finalized, the partnership would help Charter expand into consumer-grade communications while extending Starlink services to tens of millions of households.
