However, in the past six months, Charter Communications’ shares have declined 4.1% against the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector’s rise of 1.2%. The decline is attributed to the persistent video-subscriber attrition, primarily due to cord-cutting and stiff competition from its contenders like Netflix and Disney+.
