5 Big Takeaways From Comcast's Solid Q2 Report

Another quarter is in the books for cable and media outfit Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA), and all in all, it's not a bad one. Revenue of $28.5 billion was not only up 20% year over year, but topped estimates of a little more than $27.1 billion as well. Per-share profits jumped from $0.65 a year earlier to $0.80 in the three-month stretch ending in June, also beating analysts' consensus figures between $0.65 and $0.67 per share. The stock price has moved little since the report was posted, but holding on to the 15% gain since the end of last year is a victory in and of itself.

Comcast is a complex company, however, with interests ranging from films to theme parks to television; the top and bottom lines hardly tell the whole story. Here are the five key takeaways that help paint a more relevant picture for current and prospective investors.
