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.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CJR is trading at good value at 6x earnings compared to peers at 18x and is trading just 1.2x book value. It has a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio estimated at 27% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $4.50, looking to achieve $7.85 -- upside potential over 31%. Yield 4.06% (Analysts’ price target is $7.84)

PARTIAL BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The stock is climbing out of a long slump and offers upside of 23%, based on a price target of $7.71 by six analysts. Corus has cut costs and the Shaw family owns the company, so there is stability in the upper office. Meanwhile, shareowners can collect the 3.83% dividend yield. However, the fundamentals remained challenged with negative earnings, a -41% profit margin and -46% ROE. There’s still a ways to go with this story. There’s upside, but maybe not to $7.71. Consider this a partial buy. Read 3 Promising Stock Upgrades: SNAP, Uber, Corus for our full analysis.

Owning this is similar to blindfolding yourself, and trying to walk through your house. You can't really see where you are going, but you roughly have an idea of what is going on. On this company, we know the business, we know the assets and we know what they are trying to do, but the challenge is that the industry is going through so much change and it is very difficult to value the assets. There are 2 distinctive unknowns with this. 1.) Valuing the assets and 2) betting on their ability to turn around the business they are focused on. Technically they should cut the dividend, but have no choice as that is what is keeping investors there. Dividend yield of 10.3%.
