Class Action Lawsuits: In August 2025, multiple law firms initiated class action lawsuits against Charter Communications and its executives for alleged violations of federal securities laws following declines in internet customers and revenue after the Affordable Connectivity Program ended.
Impact on Investment Narrative: The lawsuits have raised concerns about management credibility and could affect Charter's operational recovery, particularly as it faces challenges from subscriber losses and competition.
Financial Outlook: Charter is projected to generate $56.8 billion in revenue and $6.1 billion in earnings by 2028, despite a slight annual revenue decline, with varying fair value estimates indicating differing investor sentiments regarding the company's future performance.
Liquidity Measures: Charter's recent announcement of nearly US$2 billion in fixed-income offerings aims to enhance liquidity and flexibility as the company navigates ongoing litigation and subscriber decline risks.

Outperform -> Perform
Reason
As previously reported, Oppenheimer downgraded Charter to Perform from Outperform and removing the firm's $500 price target. The firm notes Q3 revenue declined 0.9% year-over-year to $13.7B with EBITDA declining for the first time on higher OpEx related to investments in its new go-to-market strategy. Oppenheimer thinks Charter has been right about video, with its new model delivering demonstrably better sub trends, but this is overshadowed by the secular decline in its broadband base. Street estimates look too high for the next five years, the firm adds. The company has high leverage and next year's planned merger with Cox will likely entail integration headwinds in the short term, argues Oppenheimer.
