Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Comcast’s Class A common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CMCSA. There is no established public trading market for Comcast’s Class B common stock. The Class B common stock can be converted, on a share for share basis, into Class A common stock.

We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors. In January 2022, our Board of Directors approved an 8% increase in our dividend to $1.08 per share on an annualized basis.

Holders of Class A common stock in the aggregate hold 662/3% of the combined voting power of our common stock. The number of votes that each share of Class A common stock has at any given time depends on the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock then outstanding, with each share of Class B common stock having 15 votes per share. The Class B common stock represents 331/3% of the combined voting power of our common stock, which percentage is generally non-dilutable under the terms of our articles of incorporation. Mr. Brian L. Roberts beneficially owns all outstanding shares of Class B common stock. Generally, including as to the election of directors, holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote as one class except where class voting is required by law.

Record holders as of December 31, 2021 are presented in the table below.

The table below summarizes Comcast’s common stock repurchases during 2021.

(a)Effective May 25, 2021, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase program authorization to $10 billion. In January 2022, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase program authorization from the $6 billion remaining as of December 31, 2021 to $10 billion. Under the authorization, which does not have an expiration date, we expect to repurchase additional shares, which may be in the open market or in private transactions.

The total number of shares purchased during 2021 does not include any shares received in the administration of employee share-based compensation plans as there were none received in 2021.

The following graph compares the annual percentage change in the cumulative total shareholder return on Comcast’s Class A common stock during the five years ended December 31, 2021 with the cumulative total returns on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and a select peer group consisting of us and other companies engaged in the cable, communications and media industries. This peer group consists of our Class A common stock and the common stock of AT&T Inc., Charter Communications, Inc., DISH Network Corporation (Class A), Lumen Technologies, Inc., T-Mobile US, Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. (the “transmission and distribution subgroup”); and Discovery, Inc. (Class A), ViacomCBS Inc. (Class B) and The Walt Disney Company (the “media subgroup”).

The peer group is constructed as a composite peer group in which the transmission and distribution subgroup is weighted 75% and the media subgroup is weighted 25% based on the respective revenue of our transmission and distribution and media businesses. The comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2016 in our Class A common stock and in each of the following indices and assumes the reinvestment of dividends.
