What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (40/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The price is below even our cautious bear case ($167.98). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- The model range is unusually wide ($167.98 to $666.76). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis
Charter Communications, Inc (CHTR) currently trades at $157.44, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $392.19, implying the stock looks roughly 149.1% undervalued today. We read business quality at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Charter Communications, Inc generated revenue of $54.6B at a net margin of 9.0%. Revenue declined 1.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 27.5%. Net debt stands at $96.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $167.98 (bear case) to $666.76 (bull case); at $157.44, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 63% below its 52-week high and 15% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 32% fair-value upside, at 149%, CHTR screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($976.24) versus Dividend Discount ($2.51). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
