Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TOPAST TOP PICKJul 04, 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.
(A Top Pick April 21/16. Up 27.83%.) Had felt the fears around “pick and pay” were overdone. This company has done a good job in cleaning the business up and focusing on what they want the company to look like going forward. At this point, they have a lot of work to do to get to the 2nd stage.
