Comcast reports massive improvement in profits
Comcast Corp. has come out with their latest quarterly revenue report and the company has said that its quarterly profit tripled.
However, their higher-than-expected spending plans for 2007 resulted in their shares taking a hit at the stock market.
The company has now forecast revenue growth of at least 11 percent in 2007. This is as per the market expectations.
Their estimate of $5.7 billion in capital expenditure was however much above the market expectation of $4.8 billion. Comcast said that this spending is necessary to accelerate the introduction of new products like high-definition video.
They are also aiming to boost its relatively new business of selling services to small and medium companies.
Comcast Chief Executive Brian Roberts said in a statement: “If that drives some additional capital spending I think that’s a great opportunity that we should embrace. I think that in the fullness of time people will see that this is going to power our business for years to come.”
