Debt capital markets analyst

Comcast is calling two bond issues early, returning principal and interest to noteholders.

On December 16, 2025, Comcast Corporation notified The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, that it will redeem in full two bond series: 3.15% Notes due March 1, 2026 and 5.350% Notes due November 15, 2027. The outstanding principal is approximately $2.1 billion for the 2026 Notes and $650 million for the 2027 Notes, with the redemption price for each series calculated under its indenture.

The redemption date for both series is set for January 15, 2026, ahead of their stated maturities, and holders will receive the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest up to that date. Comcast also clarifies that this report is not the formal notice of redemption, so bondholders should expect a separate official notice to outline the detailed mechanics under the governing indentures.
