Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TOCOMMENTAug 24, 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.
A tough sector to be in. There was a downtrend through much of 2015, and it does appear to be breaking that trend at a very significant level now at around $12.70. It is no longer making lower highs, but you need to see this break above $12.70, which could be very constructive.
