Stock price when the opinion was issued
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.
Not a name he owns, but has been looking at it. Has radio stations, TV stations, etc. Recently did an acquisition from Shaw Communication (SJR.B-T) which has really expanded their business in a positive way, but also took on a lot of debt load. He wants to see how this operates going forward. The 8.77% dividend is very attractive.
