Charter Communications stock (ISIN US16119P1084) was last at USD 112.91 on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026, down 3.95 percent from the prior session. The stock was 1.22 percent above its 52-week low of USD 111.55, giving the Cox integration story a difficult market backdrop.

Cox synergies exceed USD 1.0 billion

At the September 10 Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Technology Conference, Investing.com reported that Charter expects more than USD 1.0 billion in transaction operating expense synergies from Cox, up from the earlier USD 800 million target. Management also outlined a reduction in capital spending from the mid-USD 11 billion range to below USD 8 billion after major investment programs end.

The integration has already widened Charter's commercial footprint. Broadband Breakfast reported on September 16, 2026, that Spectrum began offering its plans across the former Cox footprint, which represented 11 million passings and 6 million broadband customers before the acquisition.

Q2 revenue falls 1.7 percent

Charter's Q2/2026 results showed consolidated revenue down 1.7 percent year over year, while net income attributable to shareholders was USD 1.3 billion. The earnings-call transcript from Yahoo Finance also showed adjusted EBITDA down 4.3 percent year over year in Q2/2026.

The operating mix was uneven. Mobile lines grew 16 percent to 1.7 million over the preceding 12 months, but Charter lost 172,000 internet customers in Q2/2026. That contrast makes execution in bundling, pricing and customer retention the key test for the Cox expansion.

Wolfe sets USD 118.00 target

On September 14, 2026, Wolfe Research downgraded Charter from Peer Perform to Underperform and set a USD 118.00 price target, according to MarketScreener. The target lies 4.51 percent above the September 25 price, so the downgrade reflects caution about operating momentum rather than a target below the latest quote.

Charter stock stays near yearly low

Charter Communications stock was last at USD 112.91 on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with volume of 2,867,831 shares and a market capitalization of USD 15.2 billion. The 52-week range was USD 111.55 to USD 285.82, leaving the Cox synergy case dependent on measurable customer and cash-flow improvement.
