Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 2.0, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences (Communication and Environment), language: English, abstract: The media and entertainment business in US shows stable growth over many years. Present study aims to discover if current share prices reported by the top companies, which are 21st Century Fox, CBS, Comcast, Viacom, Time Warner and The Walt Disney Company, express their intrinsic value and what company is worth to invest. Financial statements reported in 2016 are analyzed with ratios, discounted cashflows, multiples and share indicators. Fundamental analysis is used to define, which company has the best investment opportunities, thus what shares to buy. Technical stock analysis is used to define the best timing to do that. Research determined that Time Warner shows the best investment conditions; however, shares acquisition is not recommended due to missed moment – from the date official statements were issued, share prices have soared. Study also includes country analysis (US) and industry analysis (global media and entertainment market).

Download or read book Managing Media Businesses written by Mike Rosenberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide to every aspect of managing media businesses. Written by a team of experts and illustrated with interviews from leading industry players, it addresses the unprecedented change and uncertainty facing the industry. Do newspapers, magazines or books have a future? Will terrestrial television or cable services exist as meaningful players in five years’ time? Is there a way to make multiple consumption platforms work together in a way that extracts the revenue needed to support the creation and development of quality content? While more and more content is being published, fewer and fewer businesses are finding a way to do so profitably and sustainably. Your answers to these questions that vex your media or entertainment business will depend on your frame – a frame based on experience gained in days that were less uncertain, less fluid and much, much simpler. Those frames need to be broken if you are to survive in times of such rapid change. This book is based on IESE’s Advanced Management Program in Media & Entertainment, which IESE Business School has been running in New York and Los Angeles since 2011. It combines contributions from leading professors and practitioners, as well as real-life case studies, to establish a base upon which you can start to build the set of managerial tools that you will need to manage fast-changing media and entertainment businesses.
