Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR)
The company now
Charter Communications, which sells internet, mobile and TV service under the Spectrum brand, completed its combination with Cox Communications and its purchase of Liberty Broadband on 19 August 2026 4. Cox Enterprises received cash and units in Charter's operating partnership, and Charter says the Cox family company now owns about 26 percent of Charter on a fully diluted basis 5. On 16 September, Spectrum's prices and packages reached about 11 million homes and businesses in former Cox markets such as Phoenix, Las Vegas and San Diego 10.
The deal arrived while the core business was shrinking: second-quarter 2026 revenue fell 1.7 percent to $13.5 billion, and Charter lost 172,000 internet customers in the quarter 1. Mobile was the bright spot, with 406,000 lines added to reach 12.5 million 1. Chief executive Chris Winfrey said Charter operates "in a competitive environment across all of our products" 1.
The top of the company is changing at the same time 6712. Finance chief Jessica Fischer resigned to take another job and was to serve through 15 October, with chief accounting officer Kevin Howard named interim finance chief 6. Howard signed the 27 October filings in that role 8.
Nick Jeffery, former chief executive of Frontier Communications, became chief operating officer on 1 September, and chief commercial officer Adam Ray stepped down on 12 October 127.
The open question is how the larger company performs: Charter reports third-quarter results on 6 November 2026, the first to include Cox after the 19 August closing 114.
