Charter Communications (CHTR) — Guggenheim resumed coverage of Charter's shares with a "buy" rating and a $300 price target, saying the firm's financial growth potential remains underappreciated. "We expect: 1) strong subscriber and revenue growth as the company takes market share, 2) margin improvement as operating efficiencies are realized, and 3) incremental investor interest, particularly if the company is added to the S&P500 index, to be the key share drivers over the next 12 months," Guggenheim said in a note.
