Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund stated the following regarding Liberty Broadband Corporation (NASDAQ:LBRDA) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
“Liberty Broadband Corporation (NASDAQ:LBRDA) was down 4.4%. It owns cable assets across the US, principally via its investment in Charter Communications. Both reported first quarter earnings, and there was little to add from prior news. Internet subscribers continued to fall due to competitor offerings, and the looming end of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) adds uncertainty. We estimate that around one in six of Charter’s residential customers benefited from the ACP subsidies that expired in June. With internet now a basic utility, the risk is not that these customers abandon the product, but rather that they source it elsewhere. We are hopeful that by offering inducements (like free mobile for a year) Charter will mitigate customer losses. On a more positive note, Charter has added nearly half a million mobile subscribers over the year, its churn rate is at record lows, and the rural build out is progressing ahead of schedule. Whereas the ACP effects will be felt in the short term, it will take some time before the growth initiatives (like the rural rollout and mobile convergence strategy) shine through. We also expect the fixed wireless competitors to eventually increase pricing as their capacity is absorbed. This will all take time. We are prepared to wait. We bought a little more Liberty, and it now comprises 5.4% of Fund assets.”
