Key Takeaways MRK moved above its 50-day SMA while remaining above the 200-day SMA since October 2025.Keytruda generated $8.0 billion in Q1 2026 sales and remains Merck's top revenue driver.MRK is expanding its pipeline through new launches, acquisitions and late-stage candidates. Merck’s (MRK - Free Report) stock climbed above its 50-day SMA from early June after trading below it for most of May. However, the stock has consistently been trading above its 200-day SMA since October 2025, which suggests that the stock is in a long-term uptrend. The stock's recent return to above the 50-day SMA mark signals improving intermediate-term momentum.

Ideally, stocks that regain their 50-day SMA while already holding above the 200-day SMA are often viewed as having a favorable risk-reward profile because the long-term trend never broke down.

However, to make a proper investment decision, one should properly assess a company’s strengths and weaknesses. Let’s break down.

Keytruda: Merck’s Biggest StrengthMerck boasts more than six blockbuster drugs in its portfolio, with Keytruda being the key top-line driver. Keytruda, approved for several types of cancer, alone accounts for around 55% of the company’s pharmaceutical sales. Keytruda now holds 44 FDA-approved indications spanning 19 tumor types, along with two tumor-agnostic approvals.

The drug has played an instrumental role in driving Merck’s steady revenue growth over the past few years. Keytruda recorded sales of $8.0 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up 8% year over year.

Keytruda sales are gaining from continued strong momentum in metastatic indications and rapid uptake across earlier-stage launches. The company expects the growth to continue till it loses patent exclusivity in 2028.

Merck is working on different strategies to drive Keytruda's long-term growth. These include innovative immuno-oncology combinations, including Keytruda with LAG3 and CTLA-4 inhibitors. In partnership with Moderna (MRNA - Free Report) , Merck is developing a personalized mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccine called intismeran autogene (V940/mRNA-4157) in combination with Keytruda in pivotal phase III studies for earlier-stage and adjuvant NSCLC and adjuvant melanoma. 

Merck expects Keytruda to achieve peak sales of $35 billion by 2028. Merck’s other oncology drugs, Welireg, AstraZeneca (AZN - Free Report) -partnered Lynparza and Eisai-partnered Lenvima, are also contributing to top-line growth.

Merck’s Animal Health business is also a key contributor to its top-line growth, with sales expected to more than double by mid-2030s.

MRK’s Pipeline Progress & Recent M&A SpreeMerck’s expanding drug pipeline and potential new blockbuster drugs beyond Keytruda look encouraging.

Its phase III pipeline has almost tripled since 2021, supported by in-house pipeline progress as well as the addition of candidates through M&A deals. Merck expects to launch 20 new drugs by 2030, with many already launched.

Its new products, pulmonary arterial hypertension drug, Winrevair, cancer drug, Welireg and 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Capvaxive, have begun to contribute significantly to top-line growth.

Merck’s RSV antibody, Enflonsia (clesrovimab), was approved in the United States in June 2025 and in the EU in April 2026. A once-daily, single-tablet two-drug regimen of doravirine and islatravir, Idvynso, was approved in the United States for virologically suppressed HIV-1 in April 2026.

The company has other promising candidates in its late-stage pipeline, such as enlicitide decanoate/MK-0616, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor for hypercholesterolemia, tulisokibart, a TL1A inhibitor for ulcerative colitis and Daiichi-Sankyo-partnered antibody-drug conjugates.

Merck has been on an acquisition spree in the past year, as it faces the looming patent expiration of Keytruda in 2028. The acquisition of Verona in 2025 added Ohtuvayre, a novel, first-in-class maintenance treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with multibillion-dollar commercial potential. Ohtuvayre's commercial launch is off to a solid start.

In January 2026, Merck acquired Cidara Therapeutics, which added its lead pipeline candidate, MK-1406 (formerly CD388), a first-in-class long-acting, strain-agnostic antiviral agent, currently being evaluated in late-stage studies for the prevention of seasonal influenza in individuals at higher risk of complications.

In April 2026, it acquired California-based cancer biotech, Terns Pharmaceuticals, which added Terns’ lead chronic myeloid leukemia candidate, TERN-701, a novel oral allosteric inhibitor of the BCR::ABL oncogene, to Merck’s hematology/cancer pipeline. Merk believes TERN-701 has multibillion-dollar commercial potential.

Declining Sales of MRK’s Gardasil & Other VaccinesSales of Merck’s second-largest product, its HPV vaccine, Gardasil, plunged 22% to $1.07 billion in the first quarter due to continued weak sales performance in China. Sales of Gardasil are declining in China due to weak demand trends amid an economic slowdown. The company is also seeing lower demand for the vaccine in Japan. Gardasil sales are not expected to improve in 2026.

Sales of some other Merck vaccines, like Proquad, M-M-R II, Varivax, Rotateq and Vaxneuvance, also declined in the first quarter.

MRK’s Keytruda Faces Patent Expiration in 2028Merck is heavily reliant on Keytruda. Though Keytruda may be Merck’s biggest strength and a solid reason to own the stock, the company is excessively dependent on the drug. Keytruda’s core U.S. patent is expected to expire around 2028, with additional patents expiring slightly after that. Keytruda is expected to face significant biosimilar competition around 2028-2029. Once biosimilars enter, Keytruda’s sales are likely to decline sharply.

Also, competitive pressure might increase for Keytruda in the near future from dual PD-1/VEGF inhibitors that inhibit both the PD-1 pathway and the VEGF pathway at once. They are designed to overcome the limitations of single-target therapies like Keytruda.

MRK’s Generic Headwinds in 2026MRK is seeing declining demand for its diabetes products (Januvia/Janumet) and the generic erosion of some drugs like Isentress/Isentress HD and Bridion in the European Union and Dificid in the United States. Bridion is expected to lose patent exclusivity in the United States in July 2026, and sales are expected to significantly decline thereafter. Sales of Januvia/Janumet are expected to decline steeply from 2026 onward due to government price setting, an anticipated patent expiry in 2026 and ongoing competitive pressure.

In 2026, Merck expects generic competition for Januvia/Janumet, Bridion and Dificid to hurt revenues by approximately $2.5 billion.

MRK Share Price, Valuation & EstimatesMerck’s shares have risen 13.6% so far this year compared with an increase of 3.9% for the industry. The stock has also outperformed the sector as well as the S&P 500 index, as seen in the chart below.

From a valuation standpoint, Merck looks reasonably priced. Going by the price/earnings ratio, the company’s shares currently trade at 16.54 forward earnings, slightly lower than 17.59 for the industry. However, the stock is trading above its 5-year mean of 12.76.

Estimates for MRK’s 2026 earnings have risen from $5.14 to $5.17 per share over the past 60 days, while those for 2027 have declined from $9.87 per share to $9.85 per share.

MRK Estimate MovementImage Source: Zacks Investment Research

Stay Invested in MRK StockMerck has one of the world’s best-selling drugs in its portfolio, generating billions of dollars in revenues. Though Keytruda will lose patent exclusivity in 2028, its sales are expected to remain strong until then.  

Merck expects over $70 billion of potential non-risk-adjusted commercial opportunity for the current pipeline by the mid-2030s. This estimate is more than double the peak consensus sales estimate for Keytruda of $35 billion in 2028. Merck said that the estimate of $70 billion was $20 billion higher than what they expected just one year ago.

The new products and strong progress in its pipeline have increased confidence that Merck may be able to maintain growth even after Keytruda loses exclusivity.

However, Merck faces several near-term challenges, including persistent challenges for Gardasil in China, potential competition for Keytruda, and rising competitive and generic pressure on some of its drugs.

Long-term investors may continue retaining this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock and see how the company manages its future product and pipeline growth and replaces Keytruda revenues. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Merck (MRK - Free Report) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.

Over the past month, shares of this pharmaceutical company have returned +5%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -1.6% change. During this period, the Zacks Large Cap Pharmaceuticals industry, which Merck falls in, has gained 9.6%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?

Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.

Earnings Estimate RevisionsHere at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.

Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.

For the current quarter, Merck is expected to post earnings of $2.10 per share, indicating a change of -1.4% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $5.17 points to a change of -42.4% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed +0.1%.

For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $9.85 indicates a change of +90.5% from what Merck is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.1%.

Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Merck is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:

12 Month EPS

Projected Revenue GrowthEven though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.

In the case of Merck, the consensus sales estimate of $16.28 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +3%. The $66.79 billion and $70.62 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +2.7% and +5.7%, respectively.

Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryMerck reported revenues of $16.29 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +4.9%. EPS of -$1.28 for the same period compares with $2.22 a year ago.

Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $15.9 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +2.44%. The EPS surprise was +15.23%.

The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates three times over this period.

ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.

Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.

The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.

Merck is graded C on this front, indicating that it is trading at par with its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

Bottom LineThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Merck. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price. Do they really matter, though?

Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let's see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about Merck (MRK - Free Report) .

Merck currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.73, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 30 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.73 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.

Of the 30 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 18 are Strong Buy and two are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 60% and 6.7% of all recommendations.

Brokerage Recommendation Trends for MRK

Check price target & stock forecast for Merck here>>>

The ABR suggests buying Merck, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.

Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.

This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.

Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.

Zacks Rank Should Not Be Confused With ABRAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.

The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.

It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.

In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.

In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.

Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.

Is MRK Worth Investing In?In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Merck, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $5.17.

Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Merck. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Merck.

Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) Presents at MoffettNathanson's Media, Internet & Communications Conference Transcript

Disney: How the Fubo Sports Deal Became a Game ChangerCharter Communications NASDAQ: CHTR Chief Executive Officer Chris Winfrey said the company remains focused on long-term customer value and free cash flow generation after a sharp market reaction to its first-quarter results and commentary around broadband average revenue per user.

Speaking at an investor conference, Winfrey acknowledged that the company’s stock decline following earnings was “clearly” centered on broadband ARPU rather than broadband subscriber losses. The analyst opened the discussion by noting that Charter’s stock fell 25% after first-quarter earnings and continued to decline afterward.

Get Charter Communications alerts:

Top Streaming Companies: Who’s Winning the Battle?Winfrey said he did not believe “more than a quarter of the value of the company was destroyed” by an in-year broadband ARPU outlook. He emphasized that Charter does not manage the business for short-term product ARPU, but instead focuses on terminal penetration, product attachment, household-level revenue and margin, and lower operating and capital costs per customer.

“We managed the business … to try to derive the highest terminal penetration of customer relationships, the highest amount of products in the household, and as a result of that, having the highest revenue and margin at the household level,” Winfrey said.

Broadband ARPU and Pricing Strategy 3 large caps with RSIs that scream 'oversold'Winfrey said single-product internet ARPU is not the most relevant measure of Charter’s performance, arguing that “converged ARPU is more relevant” and is growing. He said broadband ARPU can be affected by several factors within a quarter, including price locks, retention activity and cost pass-through decisions.

He said Charter did not take the same level of cost pass-through in the first quarter as in some prior periods, but expects to take some cost pass-through “towards the end of the summer.” Winfrey said the company does not plan to simply push through costs, but will attach pricing changes to added value.

Winfrey also said the company is operating in a highly competitive environment, driven by new competition and low market move rates that reduce selling opportunities. Still, he said Charter has a strong network position, a converged wireless and wireline offering, and products that can save customers money when bundled.

Competition From FWA, Fiber and Satellite Asked about fixed wireless access, Winfrey said Charter already serves the lower-cost broadband segment with products such as Internet Advantage at $30 and lower-cost low-income offerings. He argued that competitors’ low FWA pricing often depends on customers paying more for mobile service.

Winfrey said convergence is central to Charter’s competitive strategy, but added that the company must avoid creating friction in internet sales by pushing mobile too aggressively. He said Charter has improved its installation process after comparing itself with FWA providers and has become “much faster” than those alternatives.

On fiber overbuilding, Winfrey said Charter continues to see a steady pace of build in its footprint, but he questioned the economics of additional fiber deployments as density falls and costs rise. He said he does not believe many overbuilders will earn a return, particularly in markets with overlapping new fiber builds.

Winfrey said satellite broadband is a strong product in rural, low-density areas where alternatives are limited. He said Starlink has gained penetration in some rural markets where Charter is building, requiring Charter to convert customers rather than enter a pure greenfield opportunity. However, he said Charter is still hitting penetration targets in its recent rural builds, though it is taking more time.

Cox Transaction and Integration Plans Winfrey said California remains the last regulatory hurdle for the Cox transaction, after settlements with Cal Advocates and the California Emerging Technology Fund. He said other states and the federal government were completed in March, and he expressed hope that California approval can be secured as quickly as possible while respecting the process.

Discussing post-close plans, Winfrey said Cox’s broadband ARPU is “too high” and will come down. He said investors should evaluate the transaction by customer growth, primary service unit growth and total customer ARPU, rather than focusing only on broadband ARPU.

Winfrey said Charter plans to bring lower pricing, better products and a household-level revenue strategy to Cox markets. He said Cox is underpenetrated in video and has “essentially no mobile penetration whatsoever,” creating opportunities for Charter’s Spectrum One strategy.

Winfrey also said Charter expects to grow video in Cox markets, citing the Spectrum TV app, Xumo and Seamless Entertainment products. He said the company has increased its expected run-rate operating expense synergies to $800 million, with upside opportunities centered largely on procurement and duplicated spending.

Wireless Growth and Offload Charter recently passed 12 million mobile lines, and Winfrey said there is no specific ceiling for wireless penetration inside the company’s customer base. He said the product is faster, lower-priced and supported by seamless connectivity, asking why it should not eventually be taken by every cable customer relationship.

He acknowledged Charter has fewer lines per account than major wireless competitors and said the company is focused on bringing over additional household lines over time. He said friction exists because customers often have multiple equipment installment plans on different timelines.

Winfrey said Charter is offloading about 88% to 89% of mobile traffic onto Wi-Fi, up from roughly 85%. He said about 65% of internet customers have advanced Wi-Fi capable of dual SSID connectivity, and he expects a few additional points of offload are possible through Wi-Fi before CBRS deployment adds further capability.

Leverage, Leadership and Growth Outlook Asked about leverage, Winfrey said Charter intends to protect its investment-grade structure. He said the Cox deal is deleveraging at closing and that the company has committed to bringing leverage into the 3.5 range over three years. He said there is not currently a need to discuss moving to three times leverage or below, though Charter will “do the right thing at all times.”

Winfrey also discussed Nick Jeffery, who will join Charter as chief operating officer on Sept. 1. He said Jeffery will oversee marketing, sales, field operations and customer operations, with a focus on go-to-market execution and improving Charter’s service reputation as measured by Net Promoter Score.

Closing the discussion, Winfrey said Charter can return to growth because of its network, converged service offering, pricing, product quality and free cash flow profile. He described the company’s infrastructure as “the workhorse of the entire industry,” including for wireless traffic offload used by the broader sector.

Charter Communications has declined 35%, but I remain confident in its free cash flow and margin resilience despite competitive and debt headwinds. CHTR's near-term debt maturities are manageable, with free cash flow projected to cover all maturities through 2029 even under bear-case scenarios. Refinancing at higher rates adds ~$300M annual interest by 2029, yet CHTR's operating income and capex reductions support ongoing buybacks and deleveraging.

This is about eliminating delays so customers can enjoy gaming, working or connecting with family via video in a way that feels immediate."

Customers increasingly rely on instant connections to make the most of every moment. L4S technology enables smoother, more responsive connections for latency-sensitive applications including AI tools, gaming and video chatting. Spectrum's low-latency network works with products from companies like NVIDIA and any other developers who build their applications to meet L4S standards. When both the product and network are optimized, the customer wins.

Automatically included with Spectrum Internet service at no additional cost, low latency technology is already live for Spectrum customers in the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Rochester, Minn.; and St. Louis, Mo. areas. The service will expand to additional markets across the country as the Company completes its ongoing network evolution project, bringing enhanced connectivity to customers nationwide.

Disney: How the Fubo Sports Deal Became a Game ChangerCharter Communications NASDAQ: CHTR Chief Financial Officer Jessica Fischer said the company’s top priority remains growing its connectivity business while it works through major investment initiatives, prepares for the integration of Cox assets and seeks to improve free cash flow as capital spending pressures ease.

Speaking at a JPMorgan event with analyst Sebastiano Petti, Fischer said management is focused on customer service, clearer messaging around “utility and value,” and product differentiation through mobile, Invincible WiFi and “Seamless Entertainment,” which gives video customers access to programming or streaming apps.

Top Streaming Companies: Who’s Winning the Battle?Fischer said Charter expects to be 50% complete with plant upgrades tied to its network evolution project by the end of the year. Those upgrades are expected to enable multi-gigabit downstream speeds and one gigabit upstream speeds going forward. She also said Charter expects to complete its rural initiative this year, describing that program as one of the company’s largest users of capital.

“Completing that one is a big piece of the puzzle,” Fischer said, adding that moving that spending out of the capital plan should help create additional free cash flow.

Broadband Market Remains Competitive 3 large caps with RSIs that scream 'oversold'Fischer said there has not been a significant change in the broadband competitive environment since Charter’s first-quarter call, though she characterized the market as “very competitive.” She said Charter likely will see typical seasonality in the second quarter.

Asked about the company’s broadband subscriber challenges, Fischer said cable overall continues to face a perception issue, but Charter is working to distinguish itself through pricing, packaging and customer service. She highlighted Charter’s “customer commitment,” including same-day service when customers call by 5 p.m., and said the company is pushing to make response times faster.

Fischer said Charter’s net promoter scores have improved over time, though not as quickly as management would like. She said first-quarter scores saw some pressure from seasonal price adjustments, largely tied to video programming cost pass-throughs. However, she said service improvements are helping with churn and customer retention.

Customer Migration and ARPU Pressures Fischer said Charter expects to have about 60% of its residential customer base migrated to its newer pricing and packaging structure by the end of the year, up from about 45% previously cited by management. She said the newer structure tends to move more customers into bundles, which improves customer longevity.

Fischer reiterated that Charter does not manage the business primarily around product-level average revenue per user, including broadband ARPU. Instead, she said the company focuses on total revenue and cash flow generated from a customer, often by bundling additional products.

Still, Fischer said there was no change to the company’s expectations that broadband ARPU growth for the year would be close to flat “either way.” She also noted that management has said it expects to pass through cost increases to consumers later this year while adding value to packages.

On price locks tied to the Life Unlimited packages introduced in late 2024, Fischer said the ARPU pressure from two-product package price locks begins to lift in the fourth quarter of this year, while pressure from three-product package locks begins to lift in the fourth quarter of next year. She said ARPU is also affected by offers, retention activity, pricing adjustments, value-added services and bundling levels.

Cost Efficiency, AI and Network Tools Fischer said Charter’s prior framing on EBITDA growth for the year has not changed, excluding transition costs related to the Cox transaction. She said there remains room to improve operating efficiency without hurting sales or service levels.

She pointed to digitization and automation as key areas that can reduce customer transactions, improve service and create operating leverage. Fischer said AI-related efforts can be grouped into tools for agents, tools for technicians and network telemetry.

Fischer said network evolution is adding more telemetry into Charter’s infrastructure, including sensors in equipment such as amplifiers, which should help the company diagnose and correct network issues faster. In some cases, she said tools may be able to “self-heal” parts of the network.

Satellite Competition and Rural Builds Asked about low-Earth orbit satellite broadband, Fischer said Charter has not seen enough data to clearly identify its impact outside rural areas, describing any impact as dispersed. In rural subsidized builds, she said LEO satellite options have affected the pacing of penetration rather than the overall attractiveness of the projects.

Fischer said early rural builds previously saw very high penetration soon after construction because customers had few alternatives. Today, she said Charter is still seeing strong penetration, but it can take longer to displace customers from LEO satellite providers.

She added that Charter’s mobile business is now more significant than it was when the company bid on many RDOF passings in 2020, and bundled product sales in rural markets have been stronger than expected in some areas, including landline voice. Fischer said Charter remains “quite happy” with the returns on those builds.

Cox Integration, Synergies and Capital Allocation Fischer said Charter’s first priority after the Cox transaction closes will be to deliver Spectrum’s high-value products, including mobile and video, under Charter’s pricing, packaging and brand. She said investors should expect those changes to roll out in a “pretty short window” after closing.

On capital allocation, Fischer said Charter’s priorities remain organic return-on-investment opportunities, accretive mergers and acquisitions, leverage management and share repurchases. She said Charter continues to like cable assets but emphasized that any transaction must be accretive to shareholders. Given current market valuations, she said “the bar to increase leverage on the business today is very high.”

Fischer said the Cox transaction itself should help deleverage Charter, with additional progress coming from debt repayment, transaction synergies and organic EBITDA growth. She said Charter still expects substantial cash to be available for buybacks while remaining committed to an investment-grade rating at the CCO level.

Fischer also expressed confidence in Charter’s increased Cox operating expense synergy estimate of $800 million, up from $500 million, saying the company has been close to Cox’s financials and has evaluated them under a Charter operating model. She also said Charter is comfortable with the $1 billion in expected capital expenditure synergies outlined in the merger proxy, noting that Cox’s assets are not underinvested and that Charter can evaluate any network evolution needs over time.

On May 13, 2026, we delve into the DCF analysis for Electronic Arts Inc EA , a company that has shown a price performance of +34.9% over the past year, despite a slight decline of -1.9% year-to-date. The current price stands at $200.19, reflecting significant market interest.

DCF Earnings-based intrinsic value of $34.08 vs price of $200.19 (margin of safety: -397.0%) DCF FCF-based intrinsic value of $117.49 vs price (second opinion: modestly overvalued with -70.4% margin of safety) GF Score™ of 93/100 indicates high reliability of the DCF inputs What Is EA Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model The DCF earnings-based model for Electronic Arts Inc EA utilizes a two-stage approach to estimate the intrinsic value of the stock. The first stage accounts for the growth phase over the next ten years, where we expect the earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a rate of 2.4% annually. This growth is then discounted at a rate of 11%, which is derived from the risk-free rate and equity risk premium. The second stage considers a terminal growth rate of 4% for the subsequent ten years, also discounted at 11%.

Parameter Value Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $3.49 10-Year Growth Rate 2.4% 10-Year Treasury Rate 4.33% Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 11% Terminal Growth Rate 4% The calculation summary for the two-stage model is as follows:

Stage Description Value Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 2.4%, discounted at 11% $23.00 Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 11% $11.08 Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $34.08 Comparing the current price of $200.19 against the intrinsic value of $34.08, we find that EA is significantly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -397.0%. It is important to note that GuruFocus uses EPS without non-recurring items, as research indicates that stock prices correlate more closely with earnings than with free cash flow. For further calculations, you can visit the EA DCF Calculator.

What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say? In addition to the earnings-based model, we also consider the free cash flow (FCF) DCF model, which yields an intrinsic value of $117.49. When comparing this with the earnings-based intrinsic value of $34.08, we see a divergence in the valuation perspectives. The FCF model suggests that EA is modestly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -70.4%.

How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for Electronic Arts Inc is calculated at $158.06, providing a third perspective on the valuation. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure, derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. When we examine the three models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—we find that they all indicate a consensus of overvaluation for EA. For more details, visit the GF Value™ page.

What Does EA's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ ranks stocks from 0 to 100 based on five key aspects: Financial Strength, Profitability, Growth, Valuation, and Momentum. Stocks with higher GF Score™ values have been found to generate higher long-term returns (backtested from 2006 to 2021). For Electronic Arts Inc, the GF Score™ is 93/100, indicating a strong performance across these metrics. The predictability rank is 2/5 stars, suggesting that the DCF model may be less reliable for this stock.

Metric Rating GF Score™ 93/100 Financial Strength 8/10 Profitability 9/10 Growth 9/10 Valuation 5/10 Momentum 9/10 Key Assumptions and Limitations It is essential to recognize that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth rates and discount rates. Additionally, stocks with low predictability ratings tend to produce less reliable DCF estimates. The terminal growth rate of 4% is a simplifying assumption that may not reflect actual future performance.

What This Means for Investors In synthesizing the findings from the DCF earnings model, the DCF FCF model, and the GF Value™, it is clear that Electronic Arts Inc is currently overvalued. The significant discrepancies between the intrinsic values derived from these models and the current market price suggest caution for potential investors. For the full DCF analysis, visit the EA DCF Calculator. You can also explore the GF Value™ page, or use the GuruFocus Stock Screener to find undervalued predictable companies.

Dante Moore, Malachi Toney and Kewan Lacy Appear on the College Football 27 Standard Edition, While Deluxe Edition Features Colin Simmons, Leonard Moore, Jayden Maiava and Coach Curt Cignetti

Fans Can Expect Full Game Reveal This Thursday and Worldwide Launch on July 9

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EA SPORTS™ today revealed the covers of EA SPORTS™ College Football 27 ahead of the game’s full reveal this Thursday. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney, and Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy shine on the Standard Edition cover as a trio of electrifying playmakers who stood out in a competitive 2025-2026 college football season. The Deluxe Edition is joined by prominent defenders Texas linebacker Colin Simmons and Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore, alongside USC quarterback Jayden Maiava, national championship-winning coach Curt Cignetti, several beloved mascots and iconic gameday gear, celebrating the breadth of successful collegiate programs.

"College Football 27 promises to be an incredible year, one in which we're able to start reflecting the modern era of college football more authentically and with more depth for our players than ever before," said Evan Dexter, VP of Franchise Strategy and Marketing. "Our cover athletes – Kewan Lacy, Malachi Toney, and Dante Moore – represent that modern era by transcending programs and drawing in generations of college football fans, regardless of their school pride. We built the game for those fans and we can't wait for them to see the full reveal of College Football 27 on June 4."

The three Standard Edition athletes delivered standout performances to earn them the coveted cover spot. Moore capped the season with over 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns, leading the Ducks deep into the playoffs. Toney, who began his collegiate career at just 17 years old, shattered the Hurricanes’ all-time single-season receptions record with 109 catches for more than 1,200 yards and starred in the National Championship Game. Lacy was a force during his first season with the Rebels, rushing more than 1,500 yards and earning 24 touchdowns.

“Being on the cover of EA SPORTS College Football 27 is an absolute privilege after growing up a fan of the game,” said Moore. “Coach Lanning and The Duck were on last year's Deluxe Edition, and now to carry that legacy forward and represent Oregon myself makes me really proud.”

“Having this opportunity after only my freshman year means everything to me. I’m incredibly grateful for the support of the Miami community, and this honor of knowing EA believes in what I’m capable of deepens my drive to show up for the program and the fans who have believed in me from day one,” said Toney.

“I would play this game for hours with my family growing up, so now being on the cover of EA SPORTS College Football 27 representing Ole Miss feels surreal,” said Lacy. “It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The Deluxe Edition cover celebrates some of the most notable programs in College Football today. The Longhorns’ edge rusher Colin Simmons headlines one of the most dominant defenses in the country after recording 43 tackles, 12 sacks and three forced fumbles last season, while Notre Dame standout Leonard Moore became an All-American cornerback in just his second season with the Fighting Irish. Jayden Maiava is one of the most anticipated quarterbacks to watch this season after scoring 30 touchdowns for the Trojans in 2025. Joining the athletes is Coach Curt Cignetti, who guided the Indiana Hoosiers to their first-ever national championship, representing coaching brilliance and vision that carries beyond the field. Mascots from several colleges and iconic gameday imagery from across the country also appear on the Deluxe Edition cover, honoring the traditions and pageantry that make the game unlike any other sport.

Radulovic-Nastic brings more than two decades of experience scaling AI and engineering at one of the world's largest interactive entertainment companies.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 2, 2026 – TheNewswire — Yocale.ai Inc. (CSE: YAI), an AI-powered operating system for the global beauty and wellness industry, today announced the appointment of Marija Radulovic-Nastic, former Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts, to its Advisory Board as Data and Intelligence Advisor.

The appointment reinforces the central role of applied AI in Yocale.ai's product strategy and long-term platform roadmap.

Radulovic-Nastic served as Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) from 2022 to 2025, capping a 21-year career at EA leading the engineering and applied research organizations behind some of the world's most widely played interactive entertainment experiences. Earlier at EA, she held the roles of Senior Vice President of Development Technology and Solutions and Vice President of Central Development Services. She is currently CEO of Adriatic Intelligence Group, where she advises boards and executive teams on AI strategy, technology governance, and enterprise adoption.

"Marija led large-scale engineering, data, and applied AI capabilities in one of the world’s most demanding consumer technology environments," said Aydin Asli, Chief Executive Officer of Yocale.ai. "EA reaches hundreds of millions of players, with AI threaded through every layer of the experience. That is the operating mindset we want shaping how Yocale.ai turns the underlying Yocale platform's decade of operating foundation into practical intelligence that beauty and wellness businesses feel in their day-to-day. Her involvement raises the bar for what we build next."

"In beauty and wellness, the craft is the business," said Marija Radulovic-Nastic. "What drew me to Yocale.ai is simple. Yocale builds the business around people. This is one of the largest service economies in the world, built on relationships between operators and the clients they serve, and for years it has been digitized at the surface while the intelligence layer underneath has been missing. Yocale.ai is rebuilding the category around that intelligence, with AI built around the people doing the work so the team stays focused on what they are great at. When you do that well, the platform stops being a tool the operator picks up and starts being the infrastructure the industry runs on. That is the future of applied AI in service industries, and it is the kind of company I want to be helping build."

As Data and Intelligence Advisor, Radulovic-Nastic will work closely with Yocale.ai's executive team on the Company's AI and data strategy, applied research priorities, and technology assessment of acquisition opportunities.  The Company expects to continue expanding its Advisory Board as part of its growth and technology strategy.
