Q: Can you comment on the latest quarterly results Q2 2016 for Corus. It seems like this quarter is a return to profitability but I wanted your opinion as an income stock for retirement? Given the debt load, how much of this stock do you think I should have .. a full position, half position or lower?

Q: please compare CJR.B and DHX.B growth, and is the dividend safe (CJR.B)?

Q: CJR.B vs DHX.....which would you prefer? thanks, Austin

Q: Hi 5i, is CJR.b is a buy after the deal with Shaw Comm.? Motoi

Q: Hi Peter & Team!
Thanks for all the great information and objective opinions. What do you think about Corus Entertainment (CJR.B), it has been so beaten up that the dividend itself makes it an attractive buy. So is the dividend safe and is there a chance the stock could recover (it's happened before!!). Thanks.

Q: You thoughts on the asset sale to Bell would be appreciated, in particular how this may change free cash flow (and dividend protection) going forward and is this not also setting up the value of the company in the event of a buy-out?

The sale price for Movie Central, Encore and HBO Canada was $211 million. They state that this was derived by taking adjusted 2015 segment EBITDA multiple for Pay TV of 6.7x.

Fiscal 2015 Corus had $260 million of TV segment profit.

Even ignoring the value of the radio stations (let's say that they wash out against 'Corporate' and other costs in the event of a break-up or buy-out), wouldn't this put the value (based on what Bell paid for the above) of the remaining TV component at $1,530 million ($260 million x 6.7 - $211 million), or above $17.50/share? Or am I taking a too simplified view of the break-up value of the assets?

Q: Is the deal with BCE good for Corus, from an income investor's point of view? I am down on my original investment and was going to top up a bit - by ~20%.
