Comcast is reportedly preparing to split into two businesses, separating its cable operations from NBCUniversal. The potential breakup would create a standalone NBCUniversal that some analysts see as a possible acquisition target for Netflix. The move could reshape how Comcast structures its media and connectivity assets, spanning traditional pay TV, high-speed internet, and NBCUniversal's film, TV, and streaming assets. If Comcast proceeds, the separation may change how each unit is managed and evaluated by the market, with fresh attention on balance sheet strength and deal structures.
