Moneyta sentiment
Where the published evidence leans after the desk debated it, not a rating or a recommendation.
−0.2 on a −2 to +2 scale (was −0.3 before the debate changed the read).
What builds the score
Solid bars are analyst rubric scores; faded bars are computed directly from data. Claims dropped in debate count for nothing; weakened claims count at half weight.
Editor's note
Written after the debate settled. The rest of the page is the evidence behind it.
Revenue from contracts fell from $31,457,000,000 in Q1 2026 (fiscal quarter ended 2026-03-31) to $29,940,000,000 in Q2 2026 (fiscal quarter ended 2026-06-30), while operating income rose from $4,135,000,000 to $5,160,000,000 and net income climbed from $2,174,000,000 to $3,526,000,000 over the same two quarters. Diluted EPS increased from $0.60 in Q1 2026 to $0.99 in Q2 2026, supported in part by a decline in weighted‑average diluted shares outstanding from 3,617,000,000 to 3,570,000,000 and reported share repurchases of $1,502,000,000 in Q1 2026.
The balance sheet shows cash and cash equivalents declined from $9,468,000,000 as of 2026-03-31 to $7,661,000,000 as of 2026-06-30. Valuation and market metrics in the packet show trailing twelve‑month FCF of $20,364,000,000 (price/FCF 4.31), trailing EPS $5.47 (P/E 4.5 at price $24.59), EV/EBITDA 1.2 on trailing EBITDA $35,863,000,000, and a model-implied FCF growth rate implied by the current price of -24.39%.

Which filings the desk reads
The desk reads the annual 10-K in full: its risk factors, and how they changed since last year. Quarterly 10-Qs and event filings (8-Ks, insider Form 4s) are listed for context but not read line by line: the 10-K is where the material risk disclosures live. A brand-new company, or one we have only just begun tracking, may have no annual report on file yet; its risk analysis fills in once that lands.
In the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed 3 February 2026, management stated that Peacock generated revenue of $5.4 billion and costs and expenses of $6.5 billion in 2025, and that paid subscribers increased by 8 million to 44 million in 2025.
10-K filed 2026-02-03In the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed 3 February 2026, management characterized Adjusted EBITDA as having decreased in 2025 due to an increase in costs and expenses driven by marketing and promotion and programming and production, partially offset by an increase in revenue.

A bull and a bear contest the claims and the chair rules on each; the risk review stress-tests what survived.
A bull and a bear argue the analysts' claims across two rounds, then a chair rules on each one. Only what survives feeds the score. The argument is shown, not hidden, so you can judge the reasoning yourself.
Several contemporaneous claims together present a favorable operational and valuation picture. Sequential operating income (fundamentals-1), net income (fundamentals-2), and diluted EPS (fundamentals-3) all rose meaningfully from Q1 to Q2 2026 while weighted-average diluted shares declined (fundamentals-4), strengthening per‑share results; these are direct company-filed figures and therefore high‑strength evidence for improved quarter‑over‑quarter profitability. Valuation metrics are unusually cheap on trailing figures — low P/E (valuation-3), low EV/EBITDA (valuation-2), strong trailing FCF and low price/FCF (valuation-1), and sizeable FCF per share (valuation-4) — which are strong, model‑based indicators of current market pricing versus reported cash flows. Insider acquisition activity by the chairman and directors (insider-0, insider-1, insider-2, insider-3) and large institutional ownership including major asset managers and ETF inclusion (ownership-0, ownership-1, ownership-2) provide corroborating market‑participant interest; these are moderate‑strength signals given multiple filings and 13F data. The sequential revenue decline (fundamentals-0) and cash balance drop (fundamentals-5), plus negative momentum and price weakness (market-1, market-2), are real and should be weighed, but they describe short‑term pressures rather than contradicting the reported improvement in operating profitability and very low valuation multiples. Evidence strength: company filings for financials and disclosures are high strength; valuation model outputs are strong/quantitative; market momentum and price indicators are medium strength; insider and institutional holdings are moderate strength.
Chair's verdict, claim by claim
Fragility · computed, not argued
balanced0.30
40 surviving claims rest on 21 distinct sources; the heaviest analyst carries 20% of them, and 99% of what the desk raised survived the debate.
The surviving set is moderately concentrated: 40 claims draw on 21 sources and one analyst contributed a fifth of the claims, so a handful of contributors carry outsized weight. Because 99% of raised points survived desk debate, the record is internally consistent but also somewhat brittle to the key sources and analysts — if one of those heavy sources is changed or corrected, a noticeable fraction of the read would be undermined.

Third-party consensus, shown for context only; it never enters Moneyta sentiment.
Read means we pulled and handed it to an analyst; cited means a claim on this page points at it. Reading twelve quarters to state one trend is normal; the gap is shown rather than hidden.
Written by AI, checked against sources
The analysts, the bull–bear debate and the editor's note are AI agents reading only the evidence listed on this page. They can misread a filing or a headline, which is why every claim cites a source you can open and check yourself. The sentiment score is arithmetic over the claims that survived the debate, not a language model's opinion.
