Weitz Investment Management Partners III Opportunity Fund stated the following regarding Liberty Broadband Corporation (NASDAQ:LBRDA) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
Liberty Broadband Corporation (NASDAQ:LBRDA) (26% owner of Charter Communications) was the Fund's top year-to-date detractor. Shares of Charter Communications remain in the penalty box as investors wait to see how the mid-May expiration of the federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) impacts subscriber results. We anticipate Charter will retain many, if not most, of its five million ACP customers, but we acknowledge this uncertainty has created an added overhang on the stock price. Beyond this one-time event, we believe the long-term picture for Charter remains intact.
