Launch Catch-Up — Results Announced October 22, 2026

Comcast reported 144,000 net domestic residential broadband customer losses in the third quarter, alongside 368,000 net additions to its domestic wireless lines, in results released October 22.

The company ended September with approximately 28.3 million domestic residential broadband customers and 10.6 million domestic wireless lines. It also lost 274,000 domestic video customers during the quarter.

Domestic broadband revenue fell 4.7% to approximately $6.24 billion. Comcast attributed the decline to both lower average rates and fewer customers. Wireless service revenue rose 14.7% to $1.05 billion as its subscriber base grew and promotional free lines converted to paid service.

Across the company, reported earnings increased 7.2% to 97 cents a share, while adjusted earnings declined 4% to $1.07. Adjusted earnings exclude specified items and are a different measure from reported profit.

Comcast generated $7.9 billion in operating cash and $4.2 billion in free cash flow. The results cover the quarter ended September 30.
