CMCSA Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -4.0% MEDIUM
CMCSA Return 5-day cumulative residual -4.0% (STABILIZE) Q2 is the first 'clean' broadband read without a Legendary February tentpole, and with guided incremental ARPU pressure the sub/ARPU combo likely disappoints even against low expectations (echoing Q1's post-print sell-off despite a sub beat). Sell-side trims out-period connectivity revenue/EBITDA on the softer ARPU and 2H-weighted relief story, arguing for follow-through; but at ~6.7x forward earnings, near multi-year lows, with an above-market dividend and NBCU/Sky spin optionality providing a valuation floor, downside dampens after the initial drop, so the residual stabilizes rather than compounding.
