Cons
The streaming industry is currently facing significant challenges, and Paramount has heavily focused its efforts in this area. This concentration has negatively impacted their financial performance over the past few years, eroding investor confidence in the stock.
Recently, Paramount made the decision to reduce dividends, which may result in a sell-off, as dividend investors may no longer find the stock appealing.
A writers' strike that has persisted for several months has also adversely affected the entertainment business.
Intense competition from other streaming services poses a threat to Paramount's business.
Pros
Notably, Berkshire Hathaway maintains holdings in Paramount's stock, despite Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger expressing concerns about the company's business model. This suggests that Berkshire Hathaway may have a strategic plan for the future.
Paramount has the potential to recover if it can produce major hits like "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One", in the coming years.
The nearing resolution of the writers' strike is positive news for the streaming industry.
Conclusion
From a technical perspective, the stock appears to be at attractive buying levels. Therefore, given its current valuation, it appears to be a reasonable decision to take a position in the stock. It's worth noting that I also hold positions in other industry giants like Disney, and I believe that these companies will find ways to recover from their current challenges in the coming years.
As of now, I have allocated approximately 1.71% of my capital to this stock. I may consider increasing this allocation to 2.5% if the price experiences a significant decline, depending on the price action.
