# Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price $23.67, market value $84.1 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 7.5×** (5-yr avg 12.0×, 3-yr avg 7.6×). Comcast Corporation trades at 7.5× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 12.0×: cheap by its own standards. The Communication Services median in the September 2026 study was 21.1×. Forward P/E is 6.7×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.22**. A PEG of 0.22 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.4×**. Enterprise value is 2.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 23.4%** (5-yr avg 13.5%). Free cash flow equals 23.4% of the market value, above its five-year average of 13.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 13.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 13.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 14.7%**. 14.7% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 16.2%**. 16.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 20.6%**. 20.6% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 15.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 15.3%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 4.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -0.0%** (3-yr 0.6%/yr, 5-yr 3.6%/yr). Revenue fell 0.0% over the last year, against 3.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 30.2%** (3-yr 64.5%/yr, 5-yr 18.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 30.2%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 11.5%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 11.5% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Comcast Corporation holds more cash than debt.
