Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TOBUYMar 17, 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.
It has been a tough place to be. Pick and Play has put downside pressure on companies like this. He thinks it is a little overdone. These guys are smart and working closely with cable providers. In the end he feels it will be more expensive to pick and pay for individual channels. 10% dividend.
