Patrick Sholl has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Gray Television’s strategic positioning and growth potential. The company’s focus on reducing leverage through strategic acquisitions and consolidation efforts is a key factor, as these moves are expected to streamline operations and reduce costs. Additionally, Gray Television’s strong presence in local markets, with top-rated stations in numerous areas, positions it well to capture political advertising revenues, which can further aid in debt reduction.
Moreover, the transition to the ATSC 3.0 broadcasting standard is anticipated to enhance advertising capabilities and open up new revenue streams through datacasting and location services. Despite the challenges in the auto advertising sector, the company’s diverse ad revenue sources and strong local sales force provide stability. The reaffirmation of the OUTPERFORM rating and the target price of $6.50 reflect confidence in Gray Television’s ability to maintain its market dominance and financial health, supported by a substantial dividend yield and ongoing debt reduction efforts.
According to TipRanks, Sholl is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 7.3% and a 54.02% success rate. Sholl covers the Communication Services sector, focusing on stocks such as IMAX, Cinemark Holdings, and Gray Television.
