Pacific Crest is optimistic about Comcast’s X-series platform, noting that it should help “reverse a decade of share loss in video,” regardless of the Time Warner outcome. For Time Warner, Pacific Crest sees a backup offer coming from Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) if the Comcast deal did fall through.

Pacific Crest has a $65 price target on Comcast, a 15 percent premium to Friday’s closing price of $56.31.
