LBRDA

Liberty Broadband owns a 26% stake in Charter Communications, the second-largest cable operator in the US with 32 million broadband subscribers. The holding company structure trades at a persistent discount to its Charter stake value, creating a pure-play arbitrage opportunity that Malone has historically collapsed through spin-offs or asset sales. Charter generates $4 billion in annual free cash flow while rural broadband subsidies and fiber upgrades drive subscriber additions in underserved markets. Liberty Broadband shares trade at roughly 85 cents on the dollar relative to the Charter position alone, ignoring $2 billion in additional assets. The discount has widened from typical 10-15% levels to over 15% as institutional investors dump tracking stocks, setting up classic Malone value realization within 18 months.
