Spectrum’s Growth Spree
Charter Communications’ Spectrum division is making giant strides in extending its reach across the United States, poised to reinvigorate its customer base, a strategic move expected to drive top-line growth in the near term. Currently, Spectrum’s services enfold more than 32 million customers across 41 states, and the division boasts a broad clientele that includes enterprises like Red Studios Hollywood, Redman Realty Group, and more.
According to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Charter Communications’ fiscal 2023 revenues, a 1.1% uptick year over year to reach $54.62 billion is anticipated.
While the consensus mark for earnings has dipped by a mere penny over the past month to settle at $8.93 per share, Spectrum’s expansion mindset is unmistakable. In the recent past, Spectrum has broadened its digital horizons to include Carroll County, GA, Bladen County, Wayne County, NC, Val Verde, CA, and Cleveland County and Southampton County, VA.
Spectrum’s Mighty Allies
Underpinning Spectrum and its diversifications is a robust alliance with companies such as Cisco Systems CSCO, RingCentral RNG, AOC Connect, and several others.
Spectrum has recently introduced Secure Access with Cisco Duo and Cloud Security with Cisco+ Secure Connect, an initiative designed to fortify cybersecurity solutions for businesses.
Spectrum, in concert with RingCentral, is offering SMBs and other enterprise customers high-speed Internet and network solutions, alongside a reliable, secure, and user-friendly communications platform.
Despite the forward momentum, Charter Communications’ shares have dipped by 7.8% in the last six months, compared with the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector’s minor setback of 0.3%. The lingering attrition of video subscribers due to cord-cutting and fierce competition continues to cast a pall over the celebrated telecom company.
