Data trap
Comcast has now separated twice from the same reported base. Any CMCSA trailing figure spanning 2026-01-02 still contains Versant's cable networks, and every current figure still contains NBCUniversal, Sky and the theme parks — the businesses due to leave in 2027. Comparisons across either date describe companies that no longer exist in that shape.
Still live.

Notes
Comcast's second separation, and much larger than the first: the completed Versant Media spin is tracked separately on this calendar and the two are distinct transactions, which the Q2 10-Q discusses side by side. The spinco takes the Media, Studios and Theme Parks segments plus Sky, carries the same dual-class structure as Comcast, and Comcast expects to keep up to 19.9 percent for as long as a year after completion. No Form 10 has been filed. The NBCUniversal entities that already exist on EDGAR are debt-issuing subsidiaries, not this spinco.
