Updated: Comcast Mum on NBCU Purchase

Investors hoping for some insight into Comcast’s ongoing negotiations to purchase a majority stake in NBC Universal were stymied Wednesday, as the cable giant declined comment on the matter.

At the top of the company’s third-quarter earnings call, Comcast chairman and CEO Brian Roberts played it close to the vest, saying only, “While we can’t comment on rumors, I’d like to reinforce that we will only look at opportunities … that can accelerate growth. We will continue to have a very disciplined approach as we evaluate these opportunities.”
