Cable company Comcast reported underwhelming quarterly results showing disappointing broadband subscriber growth amid increased competition from fixed wireless, though Comcast’s churn remains near all-time lows. Footwear and apparel company Wolverine World Wide is coping with cost pressures and greater-than-anticipated promotional activity amid a more uncertain macro environment.
