Plus Points
- The company currently possess a unique balance sheet situation with zero debt (excluding vehicle loans). This gives it immense opportunities to raise further capital, in terms of equity and debt.
- The company is proposing to re-launch Cuisine TV as National News Channel in Hindi language and the same is under planning stage. The revamping of these channels with a modern outlook will enable it in its long term pursuit of expansion into other demographic regions with further diversified program content.
Risks:
- In the last 3 years, 100% of the company’s total revenues from advertising, channels and newspapers were derived from customers located in the geographical area of South India.
- The company’s entire operations are based out of offices and studios located in the city of Chennai.
- The company competes for revenues, viewers and programming primarily with other private television networks and Doordarshan (the government owned broadcaster). Some of its competitors such as Sun TV, Jaya TV, Star Group Limited, Zee TV Limited, etc., are national or international companies that have substantially greater resources (including financial, programming and other types of resources) than it does and may have stronger relationships with large advertising customers.
Should you invest:
As the company revenue & profits are flat over last few years, the issue is not so attractive.
