Charter Q1 revenue slips 1%, EBITDA down 2%

Watch: Monitor Q2 results and Cox integration progress, especially any improvement in customer retention and mobile revenue growth as key operational drivers.

Charter reported Q1 2026 revenue of $13.6 billion, down 1% YoY, pressured by lower residential video revenue. Adjusted EBITDA fell 2.2% to $5.6 billion due to persistent headwinds despite a 0.2% reduction in operating costs. The company spent $2.9 billion on capex in Q1 and targets ~$11.4 billion capex for full year 2026, excluding impacts from the Cox acquisition.

Revenue and EBITDA decline, combined with heavy capex and integration costs, signal ongoing operational challenges as Charter absorbs Cox Communications and adjusts its service mix.
