Liberty Broadband stock exits public market after Charter merger
Published on 09/30/2026 at 15:35 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Liberty Broadband (ISIN US5303071071) exited as a separate public company on August 19, 2026, when a Charter Communications subsidiary completed its merger with the broadband holding company. The filing signed on August 31, 2026, changes the investment story from a standalone stock to a completed corporate transaction, according to StockTitan.
Charter merger ends standalone status
The Form 15 filing states that Liberty Broadband first survived the merger with a Charter subsidiary and then merged into Fusion Merger Sub 1, LLC, a wholly owned Charter subsidiary, on August 19, 2026. It also says the company's separate corporate existence ended and that there were no holders of record for the covered securities.
The filing covered Liberty Broadband's Series A common stock, Series C common stock and Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock. For investors, the key change is structural: future value is tied to the successor Charter organization rather than to a continuing Liberty Broadband reporting cycle.
GCI revenue held at USD 261.0 million
Before the transaction, GCI generated USD 261.0 million of total revenue in Q2 2026, flat from the prior-year quarter, while adjusted OIBDA fell 11.00 percent year over year to USD 96.0 million, according to IT Boltwise. The comparison matters because stable revenue did not prevent a lower adjusted operating result, placing greater weight on cost control and the new combined structure.
Cash flow was USD 59.0 million
Trailing-12-month free cash flow stood at USD 59.0 million at the end of Q2 2026, while second-quarter capital expenditures totaled USD 70.0 million, the same report said. Those figures show why the transaction's economic effect cannot be judged from revenue alone: network investment and operating cash generation were moving in different directions.
Last Nasdaq quote was USD 35.99
The last primary-exchange quote was USD 35.99 on Nasdaq on August 20, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. EDT. The same dated market snapshot put Liberty Broadband's market capitalization at USD 5.2 billion and its 52-week range at USD 26.14 to USD 65.40, leaving the share price below the yearly high while the merger reshaped the listed-equity story.
