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.
Had owned this at the time the stock price was going down. When it got back to previous levels, he sold his holdings. Over the last 12-18 months, they’ve gone through a transition of being more focused on what they want the business to look like going forward. Today, they are in 2 parts, children and women and family. He likes that move, but there are still lots of question marks on what the industry will look like. Still a lot of work to be done. Dividend yield of 8.6% which he thinks is safe.
