Completed cable-network separation; Comcast stock showed technical adjustment but maintained stability post-spinoff
The divorce is final. On January 2, 2026, Comcast completed the pro rata distribution of Versant Media Group shares to its shareholders, and on January 5 the new company began regular-way trading on Nasdaq under ticker VSNT. The market's verdict was swift: Versant opened at $45.17 but closed its first day down 13% at $40.57, then continued falling to around $34.41 by week's end—a 24% drop from its debut price. That gives the cable-network bundle a market value of roughly $5.9 billion, or about 4.5 times projected 2026 EBITDA, well below the $10 billion that early estimates floated.
