The credit ratings under review for downgrade previously had stable outlooks.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNow Moody\u2019s is showing thumbs down to Comcast\/NBCUniversal losing the synergies and cash flows from a combined presence in both content and traditional distribution just as Comcast with its planned separation opts for focus and investment, and potentially more dealmaking down the road, as keys to future success.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2796\">Los Angeles Soundstage Complex On the Market<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cPersistent secular pressures in the company\u2019s low margin linear video pay-TV business further elevate the importance of maintaining Comcast\u2019s sizable broadband cash flow. Comcast also currently benefits from additional revenue diversity from its portfolio of media and studio content and theme parks, but these are lower margin businesses compared to the company\u2019s broadband businesses, which in addition to residential broadband also includes the smaller but higher-margin business services connectivity segment,\u201d Moody\u2019s argued in its June 30 investors note.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tComcast\u2019s linear cable TV networks were earlier spun off to shareholders as Versant Media Group. Moody\u2019s argued Comcast\u2019s debt levels will come under pressure without the EBITDA and cash flow tied to the declining, but high-margin businesses spun-off as Versant.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe post-spin NBCUniversal will be led by CEO Mike Cavanagh, and include NBC, Peacock, Bravo, Telemundo, the film and TV studios, the Universal theme parks business, and the company\u2019s Sky division in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cWhile the company\u2019s excellent liquidity and financial flexibility are supportive of the current credit profile, the negative secular pressures buffeting Comcast\u2019s broadband-focused Connectivity and Platforms segment are heightening overall business risks,\u201d the credit ratings agency said in explaining why Comcast was now at risk for a possible downgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2794\">Willy Wonka Competition Show at Netflix Uses AI to Re-Create Gene Wilder\u2019s Voice<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moody\u2019s has placed Comcast\u2019s debt ratings on review for a downgrade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2799,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[990],"class_list":["post-2800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-comcast"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
