Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into CHTR?
At today's price, Charter Communications, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -1.0% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 6.00% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 26.1% a year, so the market is asking for 27.1 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis CHTR looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Charter Communications, Inc. is currently running 66.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CHTR's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 97th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 27.0%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
CHTR is trading -82.7% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -24.4%, and the deepest was -54.1% in 2025. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.
Price sits -21.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 13th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year CHTR closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a falling streak.
On September specifically: over 14 years of records, CHTR finished the month higher 7 of 14 times, with a median return of -0.6% and an average of -3.0%. Its strongest month historically has been August at +2.9% on average, its weakest September at -3.0%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: CHTR has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 107 of 3,268 sessions (3.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.7% and -7.7%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, CHTR moved an average of 4.0% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +3.4% and a largest of +5.2%.
All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-09-16 and 2026-09-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CHTR's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
