  • Charter Shares Plunge 25% on Weak Q1 Results and Customer Losses
    April 25, 2026, 4:21 PM EDT. Charter Communications (CHTR) shares tumbled 25% after a first-quarter earnings report showed missed earnings per share and a loss of 120,000 broadband customers, double last year's figure. Revenue fell 1% to $13.6 billion, hurt by a 9% drop in traditional video revenue amid cord-cutting trends. Rising capital expenditures, up 19% to $2.9 billion, pressured free cash flow. The steep subscriber decline and shrinking margins raised investor concerns about Charter's growth, leading to the stock's sharp sell-off to $180.21, its lowest in over a year. Charter's shares rarely see such volatility, marking this move as notable. The company had recently expanded its Spectrum TV streaming app to more devices, but it wasn't enough to offset core business struggles. The stock remains down over 14% year-to-date and nearly 58% from its May 2025 peak.
