Comcast Plunges As CFO Warns Broadband Subscriber Bleeding Won't Stop

Zero Hedge | negative | gemini-flash-lite-latest | Published: 15:05 Sep 09, 2026 (Eastern)

Comcast shares fell by up to 8.1% after CFO Jason Armstrong stated at a Goldman Sachs conference that broadband subscriber losses for the current quarter would not improve compared to the previous year. Armstrong attributed some of the pressure to irrational fiber pricing, though he still anticipates improvement in broadband subscriber losses for the full year. The announcement also impacted peer company Charter Communications, which saw its shares drop by 5.7%, and led analysts to expect a downward revision in consensus subscriber forecasts.

Pentagon Informs Allies Prepare For "Protracted" War In Ukraine

Zero Hedge | neutral | gemini-flash-lite-latest | Published: 15:35 Sep 09, 2026 (Eastern)

US Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby has informed European allies that they must prepare for a protracted war in Ukraine and continue supplying weapons, stating that the Department of War cannot predict when the conflict will end. Speaking to the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, Colby emphasized that Russia is reconstituting its forces and defense-industrial capacity, requiring sustained European support and rearmament for the months and years ahead. The article notes that while President Trump seeks to wind down foreign conflicts amid a focus on an Iran war, deep-state bureaucrats have previously managed day-to-day involvement, and Colby—who previously advocated prioritizing Taiwan over Ukraine—now stresses the necessity of maintaining the flow of munitions and critical capabilities to Ukrainian forces.

Greg Brockman announced the arrival of the AGI era following the launch of OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model, which OpenAI rated as 'Critical' under its Preparedness Framework due to its independent cyberattack and vulnerability-discovery capabilities.
