After listening to the Cablevision (CVC) conference call, my initial impression that the cable bears came away with more ammunition should have been a more balanced view. That said, the sentiment battle facing cable stocks is likely to remain difficult while the stocks do not reflect close to fair value in my opinion. CVC reported […]
There were no changes to Northlake’s Market Cap and Style models for May. The Market Cap model continues to flash an extremely strong signal favoring large caps. The Style model continues to flash a weak signal in favor of value. As a reminder, these models are designed to predict relative performance and have minimal predictive […]
Rogers Communications (RG) reported another very strong quarter, continuing a string of positive news that has led to a double in the stock over the past year. EPS in US dollars looks like 23 cents vs. expectations for 18 cents. Revenues appear to be inline at $2 billion. I am hesitant about those numbers due […]

I am having a hard time getting a read on expectations for 1Q07 earnings from Central European Media Enterprises (CETV). I expect very strong results driven by the Czech Republic and Slovakia but I don’t have much in the way of analyst reports to get a sense of where street expectations lie. Isn’t it amazing […]
Time Warner (TWC) reported slightly better than expected 1Q07 results highlighted by strong operating profits at AOL and Cable and better than expected performance against a tough comparison in Filmed Entertainment. The shares are reacting appropriately, up 2-3% so far. I think more upside remains with $23-24 being a legitimate target over the next few […]

Time for some mid-week media madness: • Everyone is talking Dow Jones (DJ) so I don’t believe there is a lot left to say. I think a deal will occur and that News Corp. will be the buyer but I don’t see upside of more than upper single digits in percentage terms (the stock is […]
Time Warner Cable (TWC) reported good 1Q07 results. Investors will cheer the solid performance at the company’s legacy cable systems and signs of improvement at newly acquired Adelphia systems. The cable business is very healthy for all companies providing a solid foundation for growth at TWC. TWC has the added benefit of bringing its newly […]

I would use strength in newspaper stocks away from Dow Jones (DJ) to take profits. The Wall Street Journal is a far different asset than typical newspapers, and the company is much further in diversifying from print publishing than other newspaper companies. DJ has potential buyers like News Corp. (NWS-A) or General Electric (GE). Who […]

The weekend box office was extremely week, declining 27% against the same weekend a year ago. The total haul of $75 million was the lowest since last the weekend after Labor Day last September. According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, it was the lowest final weekend of April since 2000. Back-to-back poor weekends leave the box office down […]
Rogers Communications is expected to report 1Q07 EPS of 18 cents on revenues of $2.03 billion. Those figures appear to be in US dollars but the company will report in Canadian dollars so look for about 15% more on both in the press release. RG has been growing very rapidly over the past year thanks […]
