Wall Street: Comcast getting great deal on NBCU

NEW YORK – Analysts believe General Electric Co. gave Comcast Corp. a great deal on the half of NBCUniversal that the cable company doesn't already own.

Analyst Matthew Harrigan at Wunderlich Securities said GE "mispriced" the $16.7 billion deal.

Doug Mitchelson at Deutsche Bank said he had expected that GE would have held out for a better price. He asked Comcast executives on a conference call Wednesday morning if they sweetened the deal somehow.
