Chart of the Day - Thursday, September 26th, 2019
September 26, 2019
Today's Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by YCharts (@ycharts). We like the chart because it tells a totally different story than the cord cutting narrative that we're all used to hearing about. YCharts points out that traditional dish and cable companies are outperforming the companies that offer popular streaming services. The orange line is the year-to-date performance of Comcast, AT&T, Dish, and Charter. The purple line is the year-to-date performance of Disney, Netflix, Apple, and Amazon. It's surprising to see that "the old way to watch TV" is up 40.69% while "the new way to watch TV" is up 21.62%.
