Inside Comcast’s Efforts to Reduce Its Debt Levels

Comcast’s (CMCSA) long-term debt at the end of the second quarter of 2018 was $61.9 billion, up from $57.2 billion in the prior year’s quarter. The cable giant is looking to raise cash through a bond sale worth $27 billion for its $40 billion acquisition of Sky, which would further burden the company. Despite Comcast’s debt sale of $27 billion, which was one of the biggest US (SPY) corporate borrowings of all time, the US broadcaster reportedly committed on October 2 to maintain its credit score and debt levels.
