Paramount Global is undervalued with a price/book ratio of 0.43, despite its well-known brands and extensive film and TV library. PARA's current ratio of 1.3 indicates a good cash position and manageable debt, essential amid near-term GAAP losses. The Company's profitability declined in 2023 due to falling ad revenue and streaming losses, but estimates suggest a return to profitability with a P/E ratio of 6.91.

Only the remaining 0-52% of the shares are at risk, with a high margin of safety at the current market price.
