It was quarter at Liberty Media (LMCA/LMCK) and Liberty Broadband (LBRDA/LBRDK). This was no surprise at Media as the slimmed down company is mostly now just a holding company for its 58% stake in Sirius XM Satellite Radio (SIRI). SIRI had already reported a strong first quarter, including raising full year guidance on a number […]

With a seemingly can’t miss lineup of franchise films including Avengers, Star Wars, Ant Man, and two Pixar […]
Liberty Global (LBTYK) reported a sloppy set of 1Q15 results mostly explained by difficult comparison based on one-time items. Management reiterated all of its 2015 guidance for revenue, operating cash flow (OCF), free cash flow (FCF), and subscriber growth. Nevertheless, these results clipped the stock by 3% and it seems likely that the shares will […]
