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.
He wouldn't depend on the dividend. They are only earning $1, if they are lucky. Advertising revenues are going down. Getting hit on all sides including by Netflix. Thinks the dividend will get cut. There is no growth. If they cut the dividend in half, you are still earning 6%, and he thinks the market is anticipating that. He wouldn't buy this here.
