On the stock market since 2016, it operates in the world of media and communication. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
An average decline of 27% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.
Executives buying with their own money is usually read as confidence in the company’s future.
The stock trades near its peak today. For long-term holders the ride has paid off so far — though past performance guarantees nothing about the future.
The company sells $1.2B a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 47 buys and 8 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
A loss of $173.7M against $1.2B in annual sales.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.
The stock trades 68% above the average analyst price target.
On our five-subject report card, LGF sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: LGF has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
