Paramount Global owns countless businesses and brands, which could be worth far more than the market is currently valuing the firm. The company is already in the process of selling assets such as BET, Simon and Schuster, and its CBS Studio in New York City. If the firm achieves streaming profitability as executives claim it soon will, the market will almost certainly have to re-evaluate the recent bearish trend.

PARA has continued to struggle after announcing poor Q1 results that also came with the announcement of a dividend cut. The dividend cut should help their balance sheet, and it wasn't too surprising since they were running negative FCF anyway. Management expects to be FCF-positive next year, and their DTC business continues to grow sales rapidly with strong subscriber growth for Paramount+.

The market has overreacted to recent poor performance, despite management's clear guidance that 2023 was going to be a peak streaming spending year. Many investors were also likely looking to Buffett for reassurance after the dividend cut, and received none. Warren Buffett being unwilling to show his cards is not bad in my view. When compared to the Time Warner deal a few years ago, the potential private value of PARA appears to be significantly higher than current market prices.
