Highlights:

  • Legacy media companies have proven attractive shorts so far. Secular pressures suggest that trend will continue.

  • At ~6x EBITDA, valuation seems reasonable, but operating deleverage can inflate that multiple in a hurry.

  • From a risk/reward perspective, this looks like the best short trade in the sector.
