Thomas Yeh has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting AMC Networks. The company faces significant challenges with its heavy reliance on linear entertainment cable networks, which are under increasing pressure. The recent financial results and future guidance highlight ongoing difficulties in stabilizing EBITDA within the traditional TV ecosystem, particularly as it struggles against these headwinds.
Additionally, while there is some short-term free cash flow benefit from reduced content spending, this is expected to normalize, potentially leading to further revenue underperformance. The anticipated declines in EBITDA and free cash flow, exacerbated by the company’s limited pricing power and competitive pressures on smaller cable networks, contribute to a lowered price target and a cautious outlook on the stock.
In another report released yesterday, UBS also maintained a Sell rating on the stock with a $8.00 price target.
