Charter Foresees Cash Flow Surge, Shrugs Off BEAD

WASHINGTON, March 3, 2025 – Charter Communications says its era of heavy investment is over—and now, it's time to cash in.

CEO Chris Winfrey told investors Monday at a Morgan Stanley conference that the company is set for a major surge in free cash flow, with capital expenditures winding down after years of spending on network upgrades, rural broadband expansion, and its mobile business.

“That drop between where we are today in capex and what we’re committed to is worth over $25 per share in free cash flow. It’s significant,” Winfrey said.
