Analysts have set a one-year average price target of $13.85 for WBD, with projections ranging from $24.00 to $8.00. This suggests a potential upside of 18.05% from WBD's current trading price of $11.73. The consensus among 27 brokerage firms positions WBD as an "Outperform" stock, with an average recommendation score of 2.3.
However, GuruFocus estimates a cautious optimism for WBD, with an estimated GF Value of $9.98 for the coming year. This implies a potential downside of 14.92% from its current price. The GF Value reflects a calculated estimate of the stock's fair trading value, informed by historical multiples and projections of business performance.
In contrast, Charter Communications (CHTR) has been identified as one of the 10 Cheap Large Cap Stocks to Buy according to Hedge Funds. On July 1, analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich from Bank of America Securities maintained a Buy rating on CHTR, raising the price target to $500.00 from $450.00. Ehrlich cited improvements in broadband subscriber losses, driven by the Affordable Connectivity Program and the success of Spectrum Life Unlimited, as well as the company's expansion into rural areas and introduction of new video offerings.
