Comcast Exceeds Q3 Projections; Olympic Coverage Fuels NBC Growth, Peacock Subscriber Gains

Comcast outperformed third-quarter earnings and revenue projections, surpassing analysts' expectations.

The exclusive games streaming on Peacock also brought in 3 million new subscribers. Peacock’s revenue increased over 80% year-over-year while losses for the platform narrowed.
