Downgrade to Accumulate from Buy

-

-

Following "relatively solid" interim results for Southern Cross Media, which owns the Triple M and HIT networks and the LiSTNR digital business, Ord Minnett downgrades its rating to Accumulate from Buy on valuation grounds, while retaining a 70c target.

The company is now an audio-only business following the divestment of its TV assets to the Paramount-owned Network 10 and Australian Digital Holdings, explains the broker.

Ord Minnett lowers its EPS forecasts across FY25-27 by -36%, -22% and -15%, respectively, to reflect the sale of the company’s
TV assets.
