Executive summary
Charter Communications is a large cable operator in the United States that sells internet, television, mobile and phone services under the Spectrum brand. It also provides connectivity and managed services to businesses and earns advertising income through its local media unit. Most revenue comes from monthly subscription fees from residential and commercial customers, and the business requires heavy ongoing spending to maintain and upgrade its network.
The company reported revenue of $54.4 billion over the last twelve months. Revenue growth over three years averaged 0.5% a year. Operating margin is 23.3% and return on invested capital is 9%. Net debt to EBITDA is 4.4 times. It does not pay a dividend. These figures describe past results as reported and are a factual snapshot, not a forecast. Some measures, such as margins for real estate trusts and banks, are defined differently from those of industrial firms, so comparisons should be made with care.
StocksXray gives Charter Communications, Inc. an X-Ray Score of 56 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 67% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (95) and its weakest is growth (16).
Our fair value blend is $1,087.92 (range $960.70 to $1,296.10). At $110.11 the stock trades 90% below that blend, so the label is "Data under review" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
