If you believe CHTR can stabilize revenue and sustain its 23.6% operating margin while keeping leverage near 4.5x net debt/EBITDA, then CHTR looks attractive on a relative basis because its profitability and ROIC are far stronger than LUMN’s.
CHTR currently trades at $144.98 versus an implied price of $214.80 from the provided P/S framework, implying 48.2% upside. However, LUMN comparison shows CHTR already commands stronger operating economics than LUMN, which makes the relative valuation gap less one-sided than the implied upside headline suggests.
