Historical Valuation Ratios (Summary)
Charter Communications Inc., historical price multiples (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-31).
The analysis of the financial ratios over the observed periods reveals several notable trends in valuation metrics.
- Price to earnings (P/E) ratio
- The P/E ratio was initially absent in the first observed quarters but appeared at 36.53 in March 2021, then generally declined over time with some fluctuations. The ratio dropped significantly from above 30 to values below 15 by mid-2022 and stabilized mostly between 10 and 12 through 2023. In 2024 and into early 2025, the ratio further decreased below 10 in some quarters, suggesting either improved earnings relative to price or market adjustments influencing valuation downward.
- Price to operating profit (P/OP) ratio
- The P/OP ratio shows a similar declining trend starting at around 14 in early 2021, decreasing steadily through the subsequent years. It dropped consistently to values around 5 by late 2022 and further declined to lows near 3 by early 2024. This indicates the market’s pricing of operating profit has become more conservative, reflecting either improved operating profits or lowered stock prices relative to operating earnings over time.
- Price to sales (P/S) ratio
- The P/S ratio also declined from approximately 2.45 in early 2021 to below 1.0 from mid-2023 onwards, with a brief increase near 0.95. This sustained decrease points to expectations of lower future sales growth or compression in market valuations relative to sales. The downward trend suggests a market sentiment increasingly cautious about top-line revenue growth.
- Price to book value (P/BV) ratio
- The P/BV ratio started below 4 in early 2020 and rose to a peak over 7 in late 2021, reflecting a premium on the company’s net assets during that period. However, after reaching this peak, the P/BV ratio declined gradually and consistently to levels around 3 or less by 2025. This decline signals a diminishing surplus market valuation over book value, indicating growing market prudence or changes in the underlying book values.
Overall, the valuation ratios collectively illustrate a general downward trend in market valuation multiples relative to earnings, operating profits, sales, and book value from the peak periods of 2021 through to 2025. This suggests increased market caution or adjustments to profitability and growth expectations over the observed timeframe.

- Share Price Trends
- The share price initially showed an upward trend from March 2020, rising from $509.64 to a peak of $744.05 in June 2021. After this peak, the price experienced a significant decline, falling to $254.61 by June 2024. Subsequently, the price showed some recovery, reaching $373.65 by March 2025, although this level remains below the earlier peak. The pattern indicates considerable volatility with a notable rise followed by a considerable decrease and partial recovery.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trends
- Earnings per share data starts from March 2021 at $16.63. From that point, there is a consistent upward trend, with EPS increasing steadily quarter over quarter. The EPS rose from $16.63 in March 2021 to $38.54 by March 2025, demonstrating strong earnings growth over the four-year period. This suggests improving profitability despite the fluctuations in share price.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Trends
- The P/E ratio follows a declining trend overall, starting at 36.53 in March 2021 and decreasing significantly to 8.04 by June 2025. This decline occurred despite the consistent increase in earnings per share and reflects a combination of factors, including the falling share price and growing earnings. The reduction in P/E ratio may indicate that the stock became relatively cheaper compared to its earnings, potentially due to market sentiment or other external factors affecting valuation.
- Comprehensive Insights
- The data shows a growth in earnings accompanied by a substantial fall in share price from mid-2021 to mid-2024, causing the P/E ratio to compress sharply. The rising EPS reflects operational strength and profitability improvements, while the decreasing share price and P/E ratio imply a market reassessment of the company’s valuation. The partial share price recovery towards 2025 with steady EPS growth points to potential stabilization or renewed investor confidence. Overall, the trends suggest a divergence between underlying financial performance and market valuation over the period analyzed.

The analyzed financial data reveals several significant trends over the presented periods. The share price exhibited notable volatility, with a peak around mid-2021 followed by a substantial decline into 2022. Subsequent quarters show variability in share price, but generally at lower levels compared to the peak, suggesting market adjustments or changes in investor sentiment.
Operating profit per share demonstrates a consistent upward trajectory from the earliest recorded period in 2020 through to the latest quarters in 2025. This trend indicates steady improvement in operational efficiency or profitability on a per-share basis, reflecting favorable underlying business performance.
The price-to-operating-profit (P/OP) ratio declined sharply from initial values around 14 to much lower levels closer to 3 in later periods. This decline in ratio, coupled with rising operating profit per share and falling share price, suggests that the market valuation relative to operating profits has become more conservative over time. This could be indicative of heightened risk perceptions or expectations of slower growth in the future.
- Share Price
- Experienced a high point around mid-2021 with values exceeding 700 US$, followed by a pronounced decline to below 320 US$ by late 2023. A modest recovery is observed thereafter, though the share price remains noticeably lower than the previous peak.
- Operating Profit Per Share
- Displays steady growth from approximately 43.38 US$ in early 2020 to nearly 97 US$ by mid-2025, showcasing consistent improvement in earnings generation per share.
- P/OP Ratio
- Shows a marked downward trend from around 14 in early periods to values below 4 from 2023 onwards, indicating a compression in valuation multiples relative to operating profits.
Overall, the data suggests that despite operational improvements and increasing profits per share, the share price has not maintained a corresponding upward movement, resulting in lower valuation multiples. This divergence implies cautious market conditions or external factors influencing investor confidence and valuation assessments.

The analysis of the data reveals several key trends in the financial performance over the observed quarterly periods.
- Share Price Trends
- The share price demonstrated a general upward trajectory from early 2020 until the end of 2021, starting at approximately $509.64 and peaking near $744.05 mid-2021. Following this peak, the price entered a downward trend, with significant declines evident through 2022 and 2023, reaching lows near $254.61 in mid-2024. A partial recovery is observed towards the end of the dataset, with the price stabilizing in the range of $300 to $370.
- Sales Per Share (SPS) Evolution
- Sales per share showed a consistent upward trend across all available quarters, increasing steadily from $248.27 in early 2021 to $404.29 by mid-2025. This suggests continuous growth in sales efficiency or revenue generation on a per-share basis over time, with no evident periods of decline or stagnation.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S) Movement
- The P/S ratio initially rose from 2.45 in early 2021 to a high of 2.74 by late 2021, indicating a period of increasing market valuation relative to sales. Subsequently, the ratio declined sharply throughout 2022, reaching a low of 0.67 by mid-2024. Towards the end of the period, a slight rebound occurs, with values oscillating near 0.9 to 1.0. The marked fall in the P/S ratio despite rising sales per share suggests that the market's valuation multiple contracted significantly during this timeframe.
- Interrelations and Insights
- The data indicates a decoupling between share price and underlying sales performance over the later periods. While sales per share increased steadily, the share price decreased notably, leading to a substantial reduction in the valuation multiple (P/S ratio). This pattern may reflect market concerns or external factors negatively impacting investor sentiment or valuation metrics independent of sales growth. The gradual recovery in share price and P/S ratio after mid-2024 could indicate improving market perceptions or other corrective influences.

The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends in the share price, book value per share (BVPS), and price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio over the observed quarters.
- Share Price
- The share price showed an upward trend from March 2020 to June 2021, peaking at 744.05 US$. Subsequently, a decline is observed through December 2021 to September 2022, reaching a low of 368.24 US$. A brief recovery occurred in December 2022 to June 2023, with the share price rising to 396.8 US$. However, after this period, another downward trend ensued, culminating in a value of 309.75 US$ by June 2025. Overall, the share price experienced significant volatility with peak values in mid-2021 followed by gradual decreases.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
- The BVPS consistently decreased from March 2020 (143.51 US$) to September 2022 (57.1 US$), indicating a decline in net asset value per share during this period. Starting December 2022, the BVPS began to recover steadily, reaching 118.67 US$ by June 2025. This recovery suggests an improvement in the company’s net asset base or retained earnings in the later periods.
- Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
- The P/BV ratio moved in a pattern reflecting the interplay between share price and book value per share. Initially, the ratio increased sharply from 3.55 in March 2020 to a peak of 7.26 in December 2021, driven primarily by a rising share price and falling BVPS. Following this peak, the ratio generally trended downward to 2.61 by June 2025, despite some fluctuations. This decline suggests that the market valuation of the company relative to its book value became more conservative in the latter periods.
In summary, the data illustrates an initial phase of strong market optimism as reflected in rising share prices and expanding P/BV ratios, accompanied by declining book values per share. Subsequently, the company faced a period of market correction with decreasing share prices and a gradual recovery in book value, leading to more moderate valuations relative to the book value in the latest periods. This pattern may indicate shifts in investor sentiment, company fundamentals, or external market conditions impacting valuation metrics over time.
