Corus Entertainment (B)CJR.B.TORISKYAug 24, 2018Stock 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.
Quality and sustainability metrics are problematic. You need underlying growth to pay the dividend. Highly speculative buy here, some value could be unlocked. But it won’t come back quickly. (Analysts’ price target is $6.03.)
