AI Insight: CHTR Financial Trends
Revenue has contracted for three straight quarters to $13,597M in Q1 2026, while operating income sits below every Q1 2025 and Q2–Q4 2024 level.
• Revenue declined from $13,926M in Q4 2024 to $13,597M in Q1 2026, a four-quarter slide with no recovery in sight.
• Operating income fell from $3,389M in Q4 2024 to $3,208M in Q1 2026, compressing operating margin modestly but persistently.
• Operating cash flow remains robust, rising to $4,304M in Q1 2026 — the highest in the eight-quarter series.
• Total debt declined from $97,113M in Q3 2024 to $94,414M in Q1 2026, a modest but consistent deleveraging trend.
⚠ Net income dropped to $1,137M in Q3 2025 — the lowest in the series — and has not sustainably recovered, sitting at $1,163M in Q1 2026.
⚠ Revenue has now declined year-over-year from Q2 2024 to Q1 2026, signaling potential structural pressure on subscriber or pricing trends.
⚠ Equity grew from $12,879M in Q2 2024 to $16,385M in Q1 2026, a positive balance-sheet trend worth monitoring for sustainability.
AI Insight: CHTR Ratio Trends
Charter's margins and returns are range-bound with mild compression — D/E deleveraging is the lone bright spot over the observed period.
• Operating margin narrowed from a peak of 24.3% in Q4 2024 to 23.6% in Q1 2026, a modest but consistent pullback.
• ROIC slipped from 12.2% in Q4 2024 to 11.6% in Q1 2026, erasing gains made through mid-2024.
• Debt-to-equity improved materially from 7.51 in Q2 2024 to 5.76 in Q1 2026, indicating steady balance-sheet deleveraging.
• ROE contracted from 38.2% in Q2 2024 to 28.4% in Q1 2026, partly reflecting the lower leverage base.
⚠ Q3 2025 showed the weakest operating margin (22.9%) and ROA (3.0%) in the dataset — monitor whether Q4 2025 recovery holds.
⚠ NPM dropped to 8.6% in Q1 2026 from 9.8% in Q4 2025 — seasonal or structural margin pressure warrants scrutiny.
⚠ Continued D/E reduction could support re-rating if paired with stabilizing ROIC above 11.5%.
