Wolfe Research Upgrades Charter Communications (CHTR) to Peerperform

Wolfe Research analyst John Janedis upgraded Charter Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR) from Underperform to Peerperform.

The analyst comments: "With peer high infrastructure capital intensity and financial leverage, Charter could benefit most (Exhibit 8). Bonus depreciation could add $1.8B, or ~$11/sh to FCF in '25E. While we remain concerned about rising competition costing cable residential broadband subs & promo costs, bonus depr. could be a tailwind to DOCSIS upgrade timelines, adding much needed dry powder to Charter's war chest. We anticipate 3 paths for Charter to deploy the bonus depr. tailwind: (1) DOCSIS upgrades, (2) de-levering, or (3) buybacks. We upgrade CHTR to Peer Perform."
