Comcast Corp. reported losing 125,000 cable TV subscribers during the third quarter, but Jefferies analyst Scott Goldman chose to focus on the media, telecom and entertainment company’s overall in-line earnings. Goldman said he expects Comcast’s results to alleviate investor concerns around video losses. Shares of Comcast were down 3.6% after the company reported. “We view the results positively in light of weakness into the print,” Goldman wrote in a note to investors. “The results are likely to alleviate investor concerns, though forward looking commentary will be closely watched.” Comcast shares are up 6.7% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 index is up 14.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 18.1%.
