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.
This has gone through a restructuring, from being more widespread in terms of media and content to reclassifying, and now is basically focused on 2 business lines, kids and family in the home. He likes to see that, because they now have a clear direction moving forward. The share price has bounced back since the lows. Moving forward, they have a lot of work ahead of them in terms of growing revenue for the share price to really take some meaningful steps forward. The dividend is safe currently.
