Giant cable and media conglomerate Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) has put in a solid rally so far in 2023, with the stock up nearly 18% so far this year. Amid a bloodbath in the TV streaming wars, Comcast has found plenty of other places to juice profits and make up for its ugly foray into the space (its Peacock service). Total first-quarter 2023 revenue was down 4% year over year, but adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), Comcast's preferred operating profit metric, increased 3%.
