• CMCSA 66% Rate It

Cable TV and Internet provider Comcast Corporation ( CMCSA ) on Thursday caught some continued bullish sentiment from analysts at Wunderlich Securities.

The firm maintained its "Buy" rating on CMCSA and lifted its price target from $36 to $40. That new target suggests a 17% upside to the stock's Wednesday closing price of $34.19.

A Wunderlich analyst commented, "The FCC now appears likely to approve the $3.9bn CableCo Spectrum sale to Verizon Wireless by its 8.21 target date with DOJ approval also in queue. As we had anticipated, the cable MSOs had to agree to limits on the more aggressive incarnation of the Joint Marketing Agreements with Verizon, including making FiOS areas no-go zones. Access to Verizon spectrum and other conditions could still be positive for the consumer appeal and economics for cable Wi-Fi efforts, although the limited duration of the JMAs and Verizon's self interest may take eventual VMSO branding using its network off the table. Buy-rated Comcast ( CMCSA ) also provided encouraging TV Everywhere usage info for the London Olympic Games. We now emphasize a $40 2013 target."

Comcast shares were mostly flat in morning trading Thursday.
