Charter Communications reportedly in talks with SpaceX and Cox
Charter Communications is reportedly in discussions with SpaceX to use Starlink satellites for its mobile services and is also exploring a potential acquisition of Cox, a large US cable and broadband operator. The stock trades near $130.73 per share, down 37.5% year to date and 66.7% over the past year. A Starlink-powered mobile service could strengthen Spectrum Mobile's coverage and competitiveness, while a Cox acquisition would add scale but may raise concerns about debt and regulatory hurdles. Investors are watching for concrete terms on any Starlink partnership and clarity on purchase price and funding for a Cox deal.
