Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TODON'T BUYNov 10, 2015Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 04, 2026. Market Open.
Since last summer there has been a recession in advertising for television and this has been a problem for Chorus. There are longer term headwinds since subscribers are moving more to streaming services. Chorus has STACK TV but it is an uphill battle against some of the big companies. It sold its animation studio to help reduce debt load but debt is still pretty high. The stock is too risky.
Always has trouble with these types of companies. The dividend is attractive, but the business is in decline. The stock has been beaten down pretty significantly and there is probably a future to their business, but not one that he can reconcile with long-term growth and the dividend at these levels. He would steer clear of this.
