Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TOCOMMENTMay 31, 2017Stock 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.
Bought the media assets from Shaw Communications about a year ago. They are big into children’s TV, radio and other media assets. They also own a content creator. There were concerns about debt, but that is coming down. Feels management is doing a good job. He is watching this.
