Why is Charter Communications stock sliding today?

Charter Communications (CHTR) stock fell 1.8% in pre-market trading after CFO Jessica Fischer announced her resignation, effective October 15, 2026. The company named Kevin Howard as interim CFO. Fischer's exit follows the recent $34.5B acquisition of Cox Communications, which increased Charter's debt. The broader market downturn, driven by geopolitical tensions and Fed rate hike fears, also contributed to the decline. CHTR is trading at $149.7, significantly below its 52-week high of $285.82.
