Intel stock spikes after report of possible US government stake
HUNT VALLEY, Md. - Sinclair, Inc. (NASDAQ:SBGI), currently trading below its InvestingPro Fair Value with a market capitalization of $875 million, announced Monday that its Board of Directors has authorized a comprehensive strategic review of its broadcast business to explore value-enhancing opportunities including acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and business combinations.
The company will simultaneously evaluate separating its Ventures portfolio through a spin-off, split-off, or other transaction. This dual-track approach aims to unlock the potential of both businesses, which have distinct growth profiles and value drivers. InvestingPro data shows Sinclair maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 1.89, while generating $739 million in EBITDA over the last twelve months.
"Scale wins in today’s broadcast industry, and we intend to lead that consolidation," said Chris Ripley, President & Chief Executive Officer of Sinclair, Inc., in a press release statement. "Our Broadcast business’s industry-leading performance positions us as the partner of choice for value creation."
The company noted that its broadcast business has outperformed industry peers, with advertising revenues growing year-over-year in the most recent quarter despite political displacement. With annual revenue of $3.48 billion and a notable dividend yield of 8.39% that has been maintained for 16 consecutive years, Sinclair continues to deliver shareholder value. Sinclair’s Ventures portfolio includes investments in real estate, private equity, and technology.
The strategic review was unanimously approved by Sinclair’s Board, providing flexibility to pursue opportunities without predetermined limitations on transaction structures. The company owns, operates and/or provides services to 178 television stations in 81 markets affiliated with all major broadcast networks.
Sinclair stated there is no assurance that the strategic review will result in any transaction or other strategic change, and the company does not intend to disclose developments unless the Board approves a specific course of action or disclosure is required by law.
