Comcast’s 6% dividend looks safe despite cable losses and upcoming corporate split.

Comcast offers a 6% dividend yield while its cable business loses customers, but strong free cash flow covers the payout comfortably. The company generated $4.2 billion in free cash flow in Q3, using only about 28% to pay dividends. Comcast is pausing buybacks during its planned breakup into two companies, NBCUniversal and Sky, expected mid-2027. Investors should watch broadband losses, a large Q4 charge, and dividend decisions post-split to assess ongoing safety.

As of Oct 28, 2026 19:01 WIB, Comcast (CMCSA) trades at USD 21.76 on Pluang, down 0.37% in the past day. The stock maintains a strong dividend yield of 6.04%, reflecting its appeal despite challenges in its cable business. Investors on Pluang typically hold Comcast shares for about 95 days, indicating moderate-term interest in the media sector name.
