Charter Communications, Inc. Class A (CHTR)

Charter Communications' stock price experienced fluctuations in the past six months, including a 23.28% decrease, but saw a 6.19% increase in the past month as of early October 2025. A significant drop occurred on July 25, 2025, following the release of Q2 2025 financial results, which reported a decline in internet and video customers, leading to a substantial stock price decrease. Class-action lawsuits were subsequently filed against Charter Communications, alleging misleading statements regarding the impact of the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).

While specific data is limited, general trends suggest internet usage increases during the summer months. Some service providers offer "seasonal convenience plans," indicating a potential decrease in demand for full-service packages during specific times of the year due to travel or seasonal residency patterns.
