Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
AcquisitionThe acquisition of Outfront Media’s Canadian operations will benefit year-over-year comparisons.
Debt ReductionThe proceeds from the sale of Northwestel will be applied to debt reduction, helping to strengthen the balance sheet.
Dividend YieldAnalyst maintains a BUY rating given the attractive 8.5% dividend yield and the expectation of no revisitation of dividend policy.
Bears Say
CompetitionElevated competitive activity will slow cash flow growth and continue to challenge payout ratios through 2025.
EarningsMedia revenues were down 7.1% year-over-year to $725M, below the estimate of $741M.
Growth OutlookThe path to more sustainable free cash flow coverage of the dividend will likely take years to achieve and is partially dependent on falling capex, which could impact future growth.
