Ralph Roberts bought a small Mississippi cable system in 1963 and built the largest cable operator in the United States, with the Roberts family retaining voting control. NBCUniversal came in stages from 2011, adding broadcast, film, and theme parks, and Sky added European pay television in 2018. Broadband subscriptions now matter more than video as cord-cutting shrinks the cable bundle, and wireless resold over Verizon's network is the growth add-on. Peacock carries the streaming strategy. Headquarters are in Philadelphia.

Comcast equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge CMCSA stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and CMCSA's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current CMCSA option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Comcast grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Comcast typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Comcast RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Comcast restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
