They're near a merger deal with Skydance. Shares are popping. Doesn't like the valuation of the merger which will be 5x more than the valuation of Paramount alone. He won't add shares, but hold on, because he sees value in Paramount Studios.

The balance sheet is awful. Shares are down 54% in the last year.

Are discussing bundling their streaming service, so shares are popping on this good news. They've had a rough year. They're cutting costs and turning things around. 2024 will be better for ads in linear TV. Free cash flow estimates are rising to $400 million. The market is seeing how things are not that dire here.

They just reported. Expectations were so low, but they delivered in-sales, a strong earnings beat, driven by Paramount+ whose revenues and subscribers have risen. The streamer has also expanded its profits. However, ad revenues and licensing (due to the actors and writers strikes) were down on the quarter and missed. But streaming's strength offset that weakness. That said, PARA has a weak balance sheet that needs interest rates to decline.

Potential takeout target.
Broadcasting segment adds complexity to business.

Shares are jumping on a report that Amazon will introduce an ad tier to Prime

There's opportunity and runway here. Most of all, there are margins in an ad tier.

DON'T BUY
Paramount Global

Despite today's rally on a report that Amazon will offer an ad tier on Prime, PARA's momentum is clearly broken already. Doesn't like it.

She bought this in 2020 at $16. The content alone makes this worth $15.

Was upgraded today

They need a partner with deep partners and won't thrive until then. They need cost synergies. Prefer they partner with a similar company to enjoy synergies. There is value, but need a partner to unlock it.

Warren Buffett said that streaming is a fundamentally bad business

He disagrees. Subscriber numbers at PARA have beaten expectations for the last 6 quarters. They could be profitable by mid-2024. This isn't a start-up, but are growing it rapidly, outpacing their peers in pace.

Paramount is popping over 7% today, though down 45% in the past year. Pays a 5.6% dividend yield and trades at book value. It's the fastest-growing streaming business. In 2024, it will no longer suffer a cash flow drag as it does now.

Not a good week for it as it hits a 52-week low. The streaming business is fine, but the worry is they have to spend big on content. This is a short-sighted concern, because they hold $4 billion cash and are free cash-flow positive from legacy business. Also the studios are quickly coming back. The market is getting this wrong. They outperformed in subs and profits over several quarters. Great managers. He also likes Disney.

They have the highest growth in streaming in subscriber additions. The knock is the streamers' spending on new content, but Paramount will free cash-flow positive next year and has $4 billion of cash on the balance cheap at a really low valuation.

It's come down with all the streamers. Great content matters. Top Gun and the Offer were hits and attracted viewers. This is really interesting under $24.
