Sinclair Earnings: Political Advertising Powers a Decent Quarter Amid Potential for Deregulation
No-moat Sinclair reported fourth-quarter results in line with management’s guidance for the quarter, concluding a largely positive year for the firm. Sinclair achieved record political advertising revenue and successfully renewed 80% of its carriage agreements with pay-TV providers. While 2025 should be weaker given the absence of political revenue, potential regulatory tailwinds could benefit the industry and Sinclair. Despite this, we still believe declining pay-TV viewership limits the growth potential for the firm. We are maintaining our $14 per share fair value estimate.
