Jim Cramer warned that Charter Communications is in real trouble following its second-quarter earnings, citing whispers of serious concern. The cable giant lost 172,000 internet subscribers in the quarter, even as it beat earnings estimates, and its shares have plunged 50% over the past year. Cramer noted that the quarter was among the most poorly received this reporting period, with analysts making huge estimate cuts and some investors saying the company faces structural problems. Short interest has reached 45% of the float, and hedge fund ownership dropped from 62 funds in the fourth quarter of 2025 to 48 in the first quarter of 2026, with Berkshire Hathaway and Pzena Investment Management exiting their positions entirely.
