Murray Arenson of Janco Partners has resumed coverage of Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) with an ACCUMULATE rating and a price objective of .80.
Stating a belief that Sirius XM has in fact turned away from a subscriber growth story to a cash flow growth story that stems from Sirius XM posting four consecutive quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA. Mr Arenson was also impressed with the statement from Sirius XM that .70 of every incremental dollar of revenue now falls to the bottom line given its fixed cost infrastructure.
Mr. Arenson also cited growing cash flows, a return to positive subscriber growth, incremental revenue additions, lower operating expenses, extended debt maturities and overall balance sheet improvements. He also noted the value of the company’s attempts to capitalize on the certified pre-owned auto market.
Under Janco’s rating system, an accumulate rating is defined as:
The Company possesses solid fundamentals, above average growth opportunities and/or is expected to outperform the market averages by 5-20% over the longer term. In addition, in the Analyst’s opinion, there is only a moderate risk of long-term capital loss even if there is potential for short-term trading volatility due to specific event risk.
