Here is what Avenir Capital has to say about Charter Communications, Inc. in their investor letter:
“Our third biggest gainer was Charter Communications, the U.S. broadband connectivity business. Our opportunity to buy Charter came in early 2018 when the business was sold off heavily on fears of cable TV cord cutting and the impact of streaming businesses such as Netflix on traditional cable. We felt the bulk of Charter’s underlying value came from its broadband internet business, a highly concentrated industry in which Charter holds a dominant position, not the traditional cable TV business. Charter’s share price has increased by 112% since our initial purchase at US$313 per share, including an increase of 35% in 2020 to end the year at US$665 per share.”
