Table of Contents

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, 2023 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 transmission and distribution and media industries. This peer group consists of our Class A common stock and the common stock of AT&T Inc., Charter Communications, Inc., Fox Corp. (Class A), Lumen Technologies, Inc., Paramount Global (Class B), T-Mobile US, Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. and The Walt Disney Company (the “New Peer Group”).

Following the change in our segment reporting in 2023, we have updated the peer group presented to simplify the calculation, to remove DISH Network Corporation (Class A) due to its smaller market capitalization and to add Fox Corp. The peer group presented in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K was constructed as a composite peer group in which the subgroup of transmission and distribution industry peer companies listed above, along with DISH Network, and the subgroup of media industry peer companies listed above, were weighted based on the respective revenue of our transmission and distribution and media businesses, or 65% and 35%, respectively in the current year (the “Prior Peer Group”).

The comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2018 in our Class A common stock and in each of the following indices and assumes the reinvestment of dividends.
