SoFi CEO enters prepaid forward contract on 1.5 million shares
Investing.com - Goldman Sachs downgraded Nine Entertainment Co Holdings Ltd. (ASX:NEC) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of AUD1.75, citing increased exposure to the television segment following recent divestments.
The downgrade comes after Nine Entertainment reported its fiscal year 2025 results, with EBITDA matching Goldman Sachs estimates and NPAT exceeding expectations by 11%. The company’s streaming service Stan performed better than anticipated in both earnings and subscriber growth.
Nine Entertainment announced a special dividend of 49 cents following the sale of Domain Holdings Group (DHG), which was at the top end of the previously indicated range of 47-49 cents. The company indicated that further capital management initiatives may be possible in fiscal year 2026.
Goldman Sachs expressed concern about Nine’s television outlook through FY26, noting flat second-quarter revenue projections alongside higher costs. The firm also highlighted higher-than-expected capital expenditure plans for fiscal year 2026.
Following the DHG divestment, Nine Entertainment now derives 47% of its earnings from its television segment compared to 33% previously, increasing its exposure to a business area Goldman Sachs remains cautious about. The stock has gained 49% year-to-date, with Goldman’s unchanged price target now representing a 5% downside to the last closing price of $1.84.
