Description: CHTR Charter Communications December 03, 2025

Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR) is a U.S.-based broadband and cable operator that delivers subscription-based internet, video, mobile, and voice services to residential and commercial customers. Its portfolio includes Spectrum internet and Wi-Fi products, managed in-home Wi-Fi solutions, wholesale data connectivity for carriers, and a suite of advertising offerings across national networks and local media outlets.

Key metrics as of Q3 2024 show roughly 31 million total customers, with broadband ARPU around $70 and a free-cash-flow conversion rate near 12% of revenue, while the company carries roughly $140 billion of net debt-a critical factor given rising interest-rate environments. Primary economic drivers include sustained demand for high-speed connectivity amid remote-work trends, competitive pressure from cord-cutting streaming services, and inflation-linked cost pressures on network upgrades.
