Fastly (FSLY) is in focus after Comcast announced a content and application delivery partnership that will embed Fastly’s edge software into more than 200 AI powered data processing centers across its nationwide network. Fastly’s share price has moved sharply over the past year, with a 90 day share price return of 33.3% and a year to date share price return of 134.15%. The 1 year total shareholder return of 176.48% and 3 year total shareholder return of 28.97% point to building momentum...

Bond yields are racing higher as the U.S. Treasury and corporate issuers flood the market with new debt, and that shift is quietly rewriting the playbook for income investors. Cash-rich, high-dividend stocks in non-cyclical sectors can suddenly look more or less attractive depending on how they handle this funding squeeze. This article walks through 3 stocks exposed to these forces and shows where higher yields may help or hurt. The three stocks below are just a sample pulled from this idea,...

Today, Sept. 18, 2026, Wells Fargo cut its rating and price target, citing weaker engagement and content concerns, prompting investors to watch margin trends.

Verizon Communications (VZ) trades near $48 a share and generated free cash worth 10.0% of its market value over the last twelve months. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.5%. A gap that wide usually means one of two things: a bargain, or a business the market expects to shrink. Verizon is neither, quite. The cash is real, and it is not all yours.

T-Mobile US (TMUS) stock fell 5.6% on 17 September to about $166, the lowest it has traded in a year. One session is not the problem: over the past twelve months the stock returned -28.5% while the S&P 500 returned 17.0%, and the year is what matters. A rising market did not do that. What changed is inside the business, and part of it is deliberate.

Comcast generates substantial free cash flow and pays a reliable dividend. Disney is hitting records across parks, streaming, and the box office.

Walt Disney (DIS) has lost about 7% over the past twelve months while the S&P 500 gained 17%. Disney trades at 21.3 times earnings, just under an S&P 500 median of 22.5. The question is whether that is a good business on sale, or a fair price for a slow grower.

Broadcasters and tech giants are writing big checks to state officials, who have weighed in on mergers.

Interest rates are rising, but so are these healthy payouts.

Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery long-awaited merger has been at a standstill. Barclays analysts led by Kannan Venkateshwar resumed coverage of both stocks, rating Warner Bros at Equal Weight with a $28 price target and Paramount at Underweight with a $8 price target. Venkateshwar said in a research note Thursday that while the proposed $110 billion merger could increase growth potential for the studios, it could introduce massive financial and operational risks that make the stock hard to value, and “a moving target.”

Netflix (NFLX) has fallen about 35% over the past year, while the S&P 500 returned about 17%. The complaint is simple. Sales growth is slowing, and management will not show the quality metrics it leans on. That case misses the engine under per-share earnings, a wider margin, and a shrinking share count.

AT&T (T) is up 4.4% over the last five trading days, while the S&P 500 is down 1.1%. Strength in a weak tape pulls money in. That five-day move is not the question. The question is what holding AT&T does to your money when the market moves, because over the past year it has tended to go the other way.

Comcast (CMCSA) generated free cash over the past twelve months worth 20.1% of its market value. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.4%. Part of that gap is Comcast's debt. The rest means one of two things: the market has made a mistake, or the cash is about to get smaller. Comcast keeps losing broadband customers, and that is the market's answer.

In the most recent trading session, Comcast (CMCSA) closed at $24.41, indicating a -1.91% shift from the previous trading day.

Netflix (NFLX) trades at about $80, and its own options put a price on how far that can travel over the twelve months ahead: a floor near $54.21 and a ceiling near $119. The options market is charging nothing unusual for that range. Ordinary, for Netflix, already means a range wide enough to take a third of your money.

Disney's stock has barely moved in a year while Wall Street's consensus target sits 20% higher, and a string of earnings beats has done almost nothing to close that gap. The reason why reveals a deeper tension inside the company that one upcoming earnings report could either resolve or rupture.

Equinix (EQIX) has drawn fresh attention after Comcast Business agreed to plug its last mile connectivity directly into Equinix Fabric through standards based APIs, tightening the link between data centers and enterprise networks. Recent moves in Equinix stock have cooled, with the share price down 9.38% over the past 30 days and 8.77% over 90 days, even as the year to date share price return is 30.70% and the 1 year total shareholder return is 28.85%. This suggests strong longer term...

Comcast (NasdaqGS: CMCSA) announced a Fastly-powered edge platform integrated across its nationwide network, targeting ultra-low latency services. The company reported new broadband buildouts in Glades County, FL and Jackson County, MI, reaching thousands of previously under-connected locations. Management highlighted AI-focused edge capabilities, including support for streaming, gaming, and emerging AI services delivered closer to end users. Comcast’s Fastly-enabled edge rollout and fresh...

Consumer stocks were higher Monday afternoon, with the State Street Consumer Staples Select Sector S

Verizon Communications (VZ) has had a good year. The stock returned about 24% over the past twelve months against roughly 19% for the S&P 500, and at about $51 it sits at the top of its one-year range. The turnaround is real. What is not real yet is the revenue meant to pay for it.

AT&T (T) is running its largest year ever for fiber expansion, a plan for 8 million new locations, of which over 4 million were acquired from Lumen, and asking shareholders to keep funding it. It expects $23 billion to $24 billion of capital investment in 2026, and the roughly $18 billion of buybacks and dividends is essentially all the free cash flow left. Management used to justify the build product by product; with the customers, it was already winning. The lead now is one blended subscriber

Comcast and Paramount Skydance are reviewing strategic options for their European joint venture streaming service SkyShowtime, which has several million subscribers and could reportedly wind down.

Recently, Zacks.com users have been paying close attention to Comcast (CMCSA). This makes it worthwhile to examine what the stock has in store.

Comcast is confronting a changing broadband market as competitors give customers more choices and put pressure on its business.

Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Chief Financial Officer Jason Armstrong said the company’s planned separation of its connectivity and technology operations from NBCUniversal and Sky reflects diverging competitive conditions, investment needs and strategic priorities across the businesses. Speaking at the Go

While the Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) is filled with cutting-edge technology and consumer companies, not all are on solid footing. Some are dealing with declining demand, high costs, or regulatory pressures that could limit future upside.

Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is preparing to separate its media businesses, and NBCUniversal Media Group Chairman Matt Strauss said the move is expected to increase the company’s flexibility and speed without changing its core strategy. Speaking at a Bank of America conference, Strauss described NBCUnive

Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.

Verizon Communications (VZ) shares sit at the top of a $36.56-to-$50.59 52-week range, up 22.7% over the past twelve months. The exciting part of that story is the dark fiber Verizon has begun selling into AI infrastructure builds. The part that can actually move the stock is duller. Verizon has finally started keeping its customers.

Comcast (CMCSA) has lost 19.2% over the past year, while the S&P 500 returned 18.5%, and the reason given is usually broadband: 167,000 subscribers gone in the June quarter. The stock trades at 0.7 times sales, its own ten-year low. The number that argues the other way is not an earnings figure. Free cash flow over the last twelve months ran at about 159% of reported net income.
