Peacock Turns $189 Million Q2 Profit as Revenue Jumps 54% on 2 Million New Subscribers

Summary
$189 million in Q2 profit marked Peacock’s first quarter in the black, with paid subscribers rising by 2 million to 48 million.
A 54% revenue increase and nearly 70% ad-sales growth were driven by the 2026 FIFA World Cup, NBA Playoffs and Love Island USA, which helped lift June to Peacock’s highest monthly viewership ever.
That momentum made Peacock a key engine of Comcast’s media business, where revenue rose 25.3% year over year, or 15.6% excluding the World Cup.
Comcast is using that performance to support its plan to spin off NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, while the parent company doubles down on broadband and wireless growth.
