Charter Communications screens cheaper than News Corp on all three supplied valuation measures. That alone doesn’t show which stock is the better investment.
News Corp B (NWS) and Charter Communications (CHTR) are both in the Communication Services sector and the Media & Entertainment industry group. At the latest adjusted close on 2026-11-03, NWS was US$32.06 and CHTR was US$113.79. Share prices alone don’t tell you which company is better value, so this comparison looks at their P/E, PEG and P/B ratios, along with other available figures.
Investor takeaway: CHTR has lower P/E, PEG and P/B ratios than NWS. This is a snapshot, not proof that CHTR is undervalued or will outperform. The figures don’t explain either company’s outlook, risks or why their valuations differ.

CHTR is lower on all three supplied valuation multiples
CHTR’s P/E is 3.0, PEG is 0.63 and P/B is 0.80. NWS’s corresponding figures are 30.9, 2.85 and 2.04. These ratios show that CHTR screens cheaper on the measures provided, but they don’t establish which stock offers better value overall.
Bull case
CHTR’s P/E of 3.0, PEG of 0.63 and P/B of 0.80 are all below NWS’s figures. CHTR also has a TTM ROE of 27.2% in this snapshot. These numbers provide context for its lower valuation multiples, but they don’t explain them or predict future results.
Bear case
Lower multiples don’t prove that CHTR shares are mispriced. The snapshot doesn’t explain the valuation gap, and CHTR’s analyst consensus is Hold. Its dividend yield is 0.00%, compared with 0.63% for NWS.
The multiples favour CHTR in this snapshot
Charter Communications has lower figures on all three measures: a P/E of 3.0 versus 30.9 for News Corp, a PEG of 0.63 versus 2.85, and a P/B of 0.80 versus 2.04. Based on these multiples, CHTR screens cheaper. But that doesn’t mean its shares are undervalued. Multiples don’t capture a company’s full outlook, risks or the reasons behind its valuation.

Other snapshot figures add context
NWS has a market capitalization of US$17.5B, compared with US$15.0B for CHTR. Their TTM ROE figures are 8.0% and 27.2%, respectively. NWS’s dividend yield is 0.63%, while CHTR’s is 0.00%. These figures add context but don’t settle the valuation question. The supplied table lists analyst consensus ratings of Buy for NWS and Hold for CHTR, with price targets of US$31.14 and US$173.17, respectively. These are snapshot figures, not guarantees of future share prices.
