Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

CBS is overlooked. NFL rights, television franchises, and continual leadership in prime-time broadcast television will bring value even if pay-TV subscribership continues declining.

Bears

Linear television will continue to decline. Even if successful, newer revenue sources like direct-to-consumer streaming will never equal the profitability Paramount once enjoyed.

Company Profile

Paramount Global operates in three global business segments: TV media, filmed entertainment, and direct to consumer. The TV media business includes television production studios and various broadcast and cable networks, including CBS, 15 owned CBS affiliates, Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, and VH1. Filmed entertainment consists multiple film studios, most importantly Paramount Pictures. The film studios produce and distribute movies that they license to movie theaters and other media outlets. Direct to consumer includes multiple streaming platforms, including Paramount+, which now includes Showtime, Pluto TV, and BET+. Much of the content on Paramount’s streaming platforms is created by the production studios housed within the firm’s other two business segments.
