Fundamental quality
62
out of 100
Charter Communications, Inc. is a mature, stable business: it earns money solidly (net margin 9.1%) but grows slowly (2.3% a year). On fundamental quality it scores 62 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 4.36× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Charter Communications is America's second cable company: broadband internet under the Spectrum brand for tens of millions of homes, plus a mobile business reselling Verizon's network at knockdown prices. Lots of debt, lots of buybacks and a new war: the telecoms' fixed wireless internet.
