Cablevision Systems Corp (NYSE:CVC)

Consolidation in cable companies

too unstable for me

Struggling to monetize great brands.

A non-viable cable company that is losing the NYC customer battle to Verizon. Margins will continue to decrease as costs soar and additional infrastructure is needed. In addition, the best assets, namely Madison Square Garden and AMC networks have already been spun off into their own companies.

I have a target of $45 on this S&P500 company. The forward PE is only 14.29 and the PEG is 1.31. They also have $2,10/share cash. The yield is 1.43%.

because Cable is growing znd growing along with this company

valueline rank #1

Yeah, what, this thing just popped pretty hard behind some kind of spin-off. Look - all you need to know about CVC is that it is owned by the worst and most misbegotten family of scumbags this side of the Renaissance-era Borgias.
Ask any Knicks fan about these people. Ask any CLEVELAND INDIANS FAN (such as myself) what these people are capable of. Which is to say an MLB-record sellout streak and six playoff seasons out of seven transformed within a decade into LAST IN THE LEAGUE in attendance.
I could care less about Cablevision. I do think owning cable companies today is akin to owning newspaper companies 10 years ago. So if you're a long-term investor you'd probably want to stay out of the industry group.
But really, my purpose here is to lob a grenade at Larry Dolan, Charles Dolan, and anything named Dolan. GET THE HELL OUT OF TOWN YOU SLIMEBALLS. GIVE ME MY TEAM BACK!!!!!

On top of longer term worries all cables have regarding "over the top" competition luring their subscribers off their pricey bundles, CVC has near term pain arising from its failure to negotiate a deal with News Corp for carriage of Fox channels. Now the CVC subscribers are looking for refunds, and are likely to rush to join the class action suit seeking $450 million in reimbursement. While that amount is unlikely, CVC will have to kick back some revenues and in the process can't help but further annoy a base already looking for options.

experiment - trying to recommend everything on "Ten Stocks I wouldn't tough with a 10-foot pole: John Dorfman" due to mega debts to see if he's right or wrong

The economy is bad, and it's getting worse. The P/E of this company is high and the current ratio is low. The double whammy is that this company will not only have trouble getting financing, but it's customers (people in general) are getting hurt with the economy.

Cablevision Systems continues to add new services as well as getting a corner on the market in several key areas. With the addition of digital tv cablevision will be hot for a long time to come

Purely on recent acquisitions such as Sun-dance channel, and the looming of Long Island Tribune

Going strictly on valuation

Low Market cap compared to Verizon and Comcast but they offer the same services, especially to houses that are not serviced by other services.

the next time the dolans offer 36.00 a share to take this company private i hope mario gabelli and all other hedge fund pigs agree to sell them the stock!!! lets let little jimmy dolan stop answering to a board of directors!!! we will all get a chance to buy the bonds and get our equity back at 10 cents on the dollar after he files chapter 11 and get a turnaround team to run this profit center the right way!!!!
