Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TOCOMMENTNov 13, 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.
This has a big fat dividend. One of the negatives is that they have a lot of debt. One of the positives is that they have a lot of the great TV programs. He thinks this stock will continue to bounce around in this area. If they cut the dividend, the stock would probably rally, but if not, you would just continue getting your dividend and do nicely. You could probably nibble at this in the $11 range and Sell some in the $14 range.
