Comcast’s Versant spinoff is done — what’s inside VSNT and why CMCSA shares slid

Comcast’s Versant spinoff is done — what’s inside VSNT and why CMCSA shares slid

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 09:30 EST Comcast (CMCSA) said on Monday it completed the spinoff of its NBCUniversal cable networks into Versant Media Group, distributing shares of the new company to existing investors. Versant (VSNT) began trading on Nasdaq and was down 3.5% in premarket trading. Comcast has said the assets generate about $7 billion in annual revenue. Reuters The separation lands as U.S. pay-TV bundles keep shrinking and streaming pulls viewers toward on-demand platforms. For Comcast, it peels off slower-growing cable channels that once anchored its media unit. Investors now get two stocks to price: Comcast’s remaining businesses

Comcast stock ticks lower in premarket as Versant spinoff nears — what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:53 ET — Premarket Comcast Corp shares were down 0.03% at $29.86 in premarket trading on Tuesday, after ending the prior session up 0.7%. Public The muted move comes as investors look past thin year-end trading and toward a near-term corporate reshaping: Comcast is days away from spinning off a portfolio of cable networks and digital assets into a separate company. Why it matters now is timing. The distribution date is close enough that trading mechanics — and how investors value the two companies on either side of the split — can drive short-term price

Comcast Stock (CMCSA) Today: Versant Spinoff Countdown, Dividend Outlook, and Analyst Forecasts for Dec. 22, 2025

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) is ending 2025 in “transition mode”—and the market is treating it that way. On Monday, December 22, 2025, CMCSA shares traded around $29.70, up about 0.4% on the day after opening near $29.49, with an intraday range roughly between $29.46 and $29.78. That small price move doesn’t mean “nothing’s happening.” Comcast has a stack of near-term catalysts—most notably the Versant Media Group spinoff that will reshape Comcast’s footprint in early 2026—plus fresh operational headlines landing today, and a steady drumbeat of Wall Street target-price debate. Below is a comprehensive roundup of the current news, forecasts, and

December 20, 2025 — Communication Services stocks head into the final stretch of 2025 with a rare mix of forces pulling in different directions at once: platform-driven advertising growth, mega-deal consolidation in streaming and media, and regulator-heavy telecom transactions that can reshape fiber, wireless, and spectrum markets in 2026.

Comcast Stock (CMCSA) on Dec. 20, 2025: Versant Spinoff Details, Activist Buzz, and Analyst Forecasts Driving the Next Move

Comcast Corporation stock (NASDAQ: CMCSA) finished the latest session in retreat, closing at $29.57 on Friday, December 19, down 2.31%, even as broader markets rose. Trading activity was unusually heavy—about 85 million shares changed hands versus a recent daily average near 35 million—suggesting investors are actively repositioning around a dense cluster of catalysts: the approaching Versant spinoff, renewed activist-investor speculation, and a steady stream of fresh analyst notes into year-end. MarketWatch That “catalyst stack” got even more interesting overnight: Reuters reported that Universal Studios—part of Comcast’s NBCUniversal—is in early planning stages for a potential theme park in Saudi Arabia, a

Comcast Stock (CMCSA) News and Forecast on Dec. 19, 2025: Versant Spinoff Countdown, Activist Buzz, and Wall Street Price Targets

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) heads into December 19, 2025 with its stock caught in a very Comcast-ish paradox: the business still throws off big cash, owns irreplaceable media and distribution assets, and keeps finding growth pockets (wireless, theme parks)… yet the market is treating it like a melting ice cube because broadband growth has slowed, cord-cutting hasn’t, and competition is turning pricing into a knife fight. As of the Dec. 18 close, CMCSA sat around $30.27 with pre-market indications near $30.21 early on Dec. 19, putting Comcast’s market cap around $110.3B (and roughly -33% year-over-year by market cap).
