Paramount Global: Upside Potential On Turnaround To Earnings Growth

Summary

  • 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.

  • I also share an update on writing puts with a trade that recently expired worthless, locking in the options premium.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Cash Builder Opportunities. Learn More »
