Shares of cable telecom stocks (NASDAQ: CMCSA), Charter Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR), and Shenandoah (NASDAQ: SHEN) rallied on Wednesday, up 2.8%, 4.3%, and 9.8%, respectively, as of 1:15 p.m. ET, even as the broader markets were in the red.
The entire industry got a lift today as a bipartisan group of Senators revived a key government subsidy program.
Yesterday, a bipartisan group of Senators introduced an amendment to the 2024 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act, which would provide roughly $6 billion in funding toward the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), along with another $3 billion to "rip and replace" equipment from Chinese telecom equipment providers ZTE and Huawei.
