08What could go wrong
What could go wrong for Charter?
- Competition
Losing internet customers to fiber and wireless rivals
The 10-K names AT&T and Verizon fiber, overlapping about 27% and 16% of Charter's footprint, and wireless home internet as rivals. For Charter alone, excluding Cox, Internet customers fell in each of the nine quarters to Q3 FY2026.
Watch Internet customer losses each quarter (156,000 without Cox in Q3 FY2026) and internet revenue.
- Demand
Fewer people paying for TV
Video customers fell from 15,833 thousand at Dec 31, 2021 to 12,605 thousand at Dec 31, 2025, and video revenue from $17,630 million to $13,703 million.
Watch Video customers and video revenue each quarter.
- Debt
Large debt
Debt principal was $108.6 billion on Sep 30, 2026, and interest took $5,042 million in FY2025. The 10-K says about 13% of debt pays variable rates. Unsecured notes are high yield, the 10-Q says.
Watch Interest expense, debt principal and Charter's leverage measure against its 3.5 times plan.
- Execution
Absorbing Cox, and a $6.3 billion write-down
Q3 FY2026 carried a $6,326 million pre-tax impairment of cable franchises, which Charter linked to a sustained decline in its stock price. Charter is moving Cox customers to Spectrum products and bringing Cox customer service back to the US over 18 months.
Watch Cox customer losses, savings reported against the over $1 billion Charter expects, and any further impairments.
- Governance
Voting control shared with Cox and Advance/Newhouse
Cox Enterprises (28.7%) and Advance/Newhouse (14.35%) hold special Class C and Class B shares whose votes match their exchangeable units, capped at 30% and 15%. Each may name up to 3 directors.
Watch Changes to the holders' agreements, voting caps or board seats, and any unit exchanges or sales.
- Concentration
Mobile depends on Verizon's network
Spectrum Mobile rents capacity on Verizon's network, and Verizon is also a main fiber rival. Mobile service revenue was $3,762 million in FY2025.
Watch Any change to the Verizon agreement, and mobile line additions each quarter.
- Execution
New finance and commercial leaders
The CFO resigned in August 2026 and the Chief Commercial Officer left in October 2026, while the company is integrating Cox and starting a new operating model.
Watch 8-K filings naming a permanent CFO and other officer changes.

Think of it like this
Think of a toll-road owner whose road is a cable into your home: Charter charges a monthly fee for the internet, TV and phone traffic that runs over it.
What it does
- Does: Owns and runs its own cable network, which passed about 58 million homes and businesses in 41 states at Dec 31, 2025, before Cox
- Does: Sells internet, mobile, TV and phone service under the Spectrum brand
- Does: Since Aug 19, 2026, owns Cox Communications' residential cable business and its commercial fiber and IT business
What it does not do

- Does not: Does not sell service outside the US
- Does not: Has not paid cash dividends on its common stock

16Competitors and what protects it
16Competitors and what protects it
Who does Charter compete with?
AT&T
NYSE: T
Named in Charter's 10-K as a main fiber-to-the-home rival, with fast home internet overlapping about 27% of Charter's footprint. AT&T also sells mobile service and 5G home internet.
Verizon
NYSE: VZ
Named in Charter's 10-K as a main fiber rival, overlapping about 16% of Charter's footprint, and as a national mobile operator. Spectrum Mobile itself runs on Verizon's network.
T-Mobile
NASDAQ: TMUS
Named in Charter's 10-K as a national mobile operator that also sells fixed wireless home internet over its cell towers.
Streaming services
Charter's 10-K names streaming services and satellite TV providers as rivals to its TV packages. Charter now bundles programmers' ad-supported streaming apps, such as Disney+, HBO Max and Peacock, into Spectrum TV Select.
What protects the business
Each strength is scored 1 (weak) to 5 (strong) for the business, with the reason. It is not a rating of the share.
- Network reach4 of 5
Charter's network passed about 58 million homes and businesses in 41 states at Dec 31, 2025, and 70,706 thousand on Sep 30, 2026 with Cox.
- Limited fiber overlap so far3 of 5
The 10-K says AT&T's and Verizon's fiber overlaps about 27% and 16% of Charter's operating footprint, so most of its homes do not yet have either rival's fiber.
- Bundling mobile with internet3 of 5
Mobile lines rose from 3,564 thousand at Dec 31, 2021 to 11,766 thousand at Dec 31, 2025, sold alongside Spectrum Internet. Charter does not own the mobile network it uses.
Weak spot
Internet customers
For Charter alone, excluding Cox, Internet customers fell in each of the nine quarters from Q3 FY2024 to Q3 FY2026. It lost 156,000 in Q3 FY2026.
