Revenue falls as media grows

CNBC reported that Peacock delivered its second consecutive profitable quarter, with USD 261 million of adjusted EBITDA on USD 1.8 billion in revenue.
What does Peacock mean for margins?
Peacock's contribution provides a clear counterweight to broadband pressure. Paid subscribers reached 48 million, up 17.0 percent year over year, while domestic broadband customers declined by 144,000 during the third quarter. Business Services Connectivity revenue increased 2.7 percent to USD 2.645 billion, and its adjusted EBITDA margin was 55.9 percent.
Comcast also generated USD 4.211 billion of free cash flow in the third quarter, down 14.8 percent from USD 4.945 billion a year earlier. The company said its share repurchase pause would remain in place during the proposed separation of its businesses into two publicly traded companies.
Stock price and company split
The market picture combines a profitable streaming unit with weaker residential connectivity and theme parks. Theme Parks revenue decreased 4.4 percent to USD 2.597 billion in the third quarter, while adjusted EBITDA fell 17.1 percent to USD 780 million. Comcast is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker CMCSA, and the company says the separation work remains on track.
