Paramount Global: Hold Rating Amid Strong DTC Performance and Strategic UncertaintiesWeakness at DTC ad revenue (-4% y/y vs. our +1% y/y) reflects the continued impact of increased digital ad supply. Subscription revenue growth of +22% y/y was above our +16% y/y estimate, as global streaming subs decreased -1.3MM vs. our -2.0MM estimate and global ARPU was up +9% y/y. DTC OIBDA of $157MM handily beat our $72MM estimate on revenue upside and lower than expected costs. Management expects its recent 5-year, $1.5B deal to bring the U.S. to be a key sub growth driver going forward as it had in their international strategy. In Filmed Entertainment, revenue of $690MM (+2% y/y) was below our $724MM estimate, primarily due to lower licensing of animated content. Correspondingly, adj. OIBDA of ($84MM) also missed our ($20MM) estimate.
