AFP via Getty Images Comcast‘s third-quarter results were buoyed by a surge in advertising tied to the Spanish-language telecast on NBCUniversal‘s Telemundo, a profit at its Peacock streaming service and the box-office performance of films like “The Odyssey,” but revenue in most parts of the company’s cable-and-media empire dipped as the Philadelphia media conglomerate faced challenges in its core cable-and-connections business as well as its theme parks.
Comcast said third quarter revenue fell 6.1% to nearly $29.3 billion, compared with nearly $31.2 billion in the year-earlier period. On a pro-forma basis — backing out cable-centric Versant Media, which spun off from NBCU in January 2026, and the sale of Sky Deutschland to RTL Group in May 2026 — revenue was up 0.5% versus the prior-year period. Net income rose 3.5%, to nearly $3.45 billion, or 97 cents per share, compared with $3.33 billion, or 90 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.
