Lionsgate Studios ( (LION) ) has issued an announcement.

On January 26, 2026, Lionsgate Studios entered into a governance, standstill and voting agreement with Liberty 77-affiliated funds and MHR Fund Management that installs Liberty Strategic Capital’s managing partner and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin as a Liberty-designated independent director on its board, bringing the total number of directors to eleven. Under the deal, Liberty 77 and MHR have agreed to mutual voting support for each other’s board nominees and to refrain from activist measures such as increasing their stakes above 17.5%, launching proxy contests or other actions that could challenge Lionsgate’s governance structure for a defined multi-year period, while receiving pre-emptive, registration and “most favored nation” rights aligned with existing major shareholders; the company does not anticipate Mnuchin’s appointment will materially alter its operations but expects his financial, regulatory and entertainment experience, as well as the alignment with significant shareholders, to reinforce board oversight and governance stability for investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (LION) stock is a Hold with a $10.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lionsgate Studios stock, see the LION Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on LION Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LION is a Neutral.

Lionsgate Studios’ overall stock score is primarily impacted by its financial challenges, including negative equity and cash flow issues. While technical indicators show positive momentum, and strategic financial maneuvers are promising, the company’s valuation and high debt levels remain concerns. The positive outlook from the earnings call and corporate events provide some optimism, but significant financial restructuring is needed for substantial improvement.
