Why now
Telecom Services · market cap $19.1b. Down 50% from 52-week high of $285.82 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.83 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 17 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $187.35 (implying +32% upside).
Moat
ROE 29% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which.
Risk
D/E 4.42 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Down 50% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $187.35 (17-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $236.53 at ~11% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $303.34 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR): score, valuation & FAQ

Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) is a Telecom Services company that scores 57.7 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A) and PEG (B+), while Rev (D+) and D/E (D) rate weaker. On valuation, CHTR sits about 78% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies outright free-cash-flow decline over the next decade.

Is CHTR a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores CHTR 57.7 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by P/E (A) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Charter Communications, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does CHTR score 57.7 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). CHTR earns its highest marks on P/E (A) and PEG (B+), and is held back by Rev (D+) and D/E (D). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is CHTR overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $142.00, CHTR sits about 78% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies outright free-cash-flow decline over the next decade. It trades at a 3.7x× P/E (graded A). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in CHTR?

D/E 4.42 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Down 50% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
