Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TODON'T BUYMar 10, 2016Stock 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.
They are buying Shaw’s media assets. The broadcasting sector is going through so much change right now that there are other places you can go for more visibility over what will happen over the next few years. The dividend is high and the market is questioning whether it is sustainable.
