Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) reported earnings Tuesday night that were “solid” and “strong” according to Wall Street analysts. Analysts at Jefferies, Brean Capital and Wunderlich Securities believe that there is at least a 10 percent upside in the stock from Tuesday's $59.17 closing price.
Overall, the analysts said that there is a “high likelihood,” according to Jefferies, that the Comcast, Time Warner Cable Inc (NYSE: TWC) deal gets regulatory approval. Brean Capital pointed to the company’s plan to buy back $4.5 billion in stock once the deal closes –- a plan that is backstopped by a $10 billion buyback if the deal fell apart.
