Revenue rose 2% to $31.92 billion, generated by increases in its U.S. wireless operations, the success of “Wicked” and “The Wild Robot” at the box office and subscriptions at Peacock. Revenue from the company’s cable and connectivity business was basically flat.

Comcast beat Wall Street expectations for its fourth quarter of 2024 as Peacock continued to narrow its losses and "Wicked" helped the studios business defy gravity with an 85% increase in profit to $569 million.

Comcast, led by chairman and CEO Brian Roberts, reported fourth-quarter and full-year results for its entertainment unit and other operations.
