Comcast (CMCSA) and Benefit of NBCU Deal
Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) has released their projections of how the deal with NBC-Universal will play out for them, and some analysts have chimed in with their own outlook.
Goldman Sachs analyst Jason Armstrong reinstated coverage of Comcast (CMCSA) shares with a Buy rating, offering estimates for how the combined business with NBC-Universal could lead to surge in free cash flow.
Armstrong writes the stock is worth $33 on a discounted cash flow basis, or $29 on a sum-of-the-parts basis, using a multiple of 6 times for the cable unit’s profit and 7 times for the NBCU joint venture.
While Comcast’s official projections of the economics of the new combined business are not expected until April, Armstrong today offers a preliminary calculation: revenue may grow 4% from this year through 2013, Ebitda may rise 6.5%, and free cash flow may rise 15% in that time, to $2.94 per share in 2013. Cash flow will be helped by a “significant increase in share repurchase activity over the next few years,” he writes.
In fact, Armstrong writes, following in the foot-steps of peers that have been doing a lot of buybacks, such as DirecTV (DTV), Time-Warner Cable (TWC), and Cablevision (CVC), Comcast, “has the potential to become the next big capital allocation story” in the industry.

Choose Mosaic (MOS), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), State Street (STT), Cummins (CMI), Alcoa (AA), Cameco (CCJ) if Unrest Wanes
If the current unrest in the Middle East begins to wane, Vadim Zlotnikov, a strategist at BernsteinResearch, says he would choose stocks like Mosaic (MOS), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), State Street (STT), Cummins (CMI), Alcoa (AA) and Cameco (CCJ).
Assuming unrest continues, he would choose plays such as Chevron (CVX) and Conoco (COP), Bristol Myers (BMY), Sony (SNE) and DirecTV (DTV).
Big increases in the VIX, also known as the fear index, tend to weigh especially heavily on companies whose earnings prospects are tied closely to economic growth. These so-called procyclical stocks won't look like a good bet if the unrest in Libya intensifies and the New York price of oil soars to, say, $120 a barrel.
But Zlotnikov says he doesn't expect that to happen – which should be good news for the global economy and companies whose profits are strongly tied to global growth.
"While potential for spread of unrest to other major oil producing countries is clearly possible, this is not our base case as governments of oil-producing countries will seek to mitigate unrest through wage and other concessions," he writes. "Under the scenario of sustainable $100 oil during 2011, the adverse economic impact should be contained and a 'normal' decline in VIX should ensue during the next couple of weeks."
