Charter CEO outlines 2026 priorities at UBS conference
CHTR
Guidance Update
M&A
Product Launch
  • Return to broadband growth is top priority, emphasizing the value of seamless connectivity and entertainment, supported by a 100% onshore U.S. sales and service organization to improve Net Promoter Scores.
  • Competition from fixed wireless has slightly eased year-over-year for Verizon 5G and T-Mobile; AT&T’s entry is viewed as temporary, while small business broadband is returning to growth and medium/large enterprise remains strong; a T-Mobile MVNO for business is planned for mid-2026.
  • The Spectrum App Store, bundling major D2C services (e.g., Peacock, Disney +), has achieved ~50% uptake among eligible video subscribers, driving a meaningful reduction in churn across all tenures.
  • The Cox acquisition is progressing through regulatory review with an expected mid-2026 close; the combined B2B business would approach $11 billion, unlocking synergies in hospitality, commercial services, and addressable advertising.
  • Network evolution includes step-one high-split upgrades (2 Gbps down/1 Gbps up in 15% of footprint) and broader multi-gig rollouts; 2026 CapEx is expected ≤ $8 billion (~14% of revenues) with EBITDA growth forecast for 2026 and a significant free-cash-flow takeoff in 2027.

  • The new Spectrum App Store offers free D2C streaming apps (Peacock, Disney +, Hulu, etc.); ~50% of eligible customers activate, taking an average of >3 apps, driving churn reduction across all tenures.
  • Network CapEx is nearing completion: 2 Gbps symmetrical in step-one markets, multi-gig elsewhere; 1.5 million rural passings added with mid-high teens returns; guiding <14% CapEx intensity (<$8 billion) and a major free cash flow takeoff in 2027.
