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.
