Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TOCOMMENTOct 04, 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.
He likes this. They have women’s channels and kids’ channels, the much desired channels that people want. Being the independent, they have to be included in the bundles. This is one of the higher risk/high reward stocks they own. Great yield which is safe.
