Analyst Patrick Sholl from Barrington reiterated a Buy rating on Townsquare Media (TSQ – Research Report) and decreased the price target to $13.00 from $15.00.
Patrick Sholl has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Townsquare Media’s strategic positioning and financial health. The company’s diversified revenue streams, with a significant portion coming from digital businesses, have shown growth and stability, contributing to a strong profit mix. This diversification supports the company’s ability to maintain its financial guidance, with Q2 revenue and EBITDA projections aligning well with expectations, indicating a positive trajectory for the rest of the year.
Additionally, Townsquare Media’s stable balance sheet, despite elevated leverage, is bolstered by a substantial dividend yield of 11.2%, reflecting management’s confidence in the company’s future performance. Sholl also notes the company’s efforts in debt reduction and dividend growth as positive indicators of financial discipline and shareholder value. The reaffirmed OUTPERFORM rating, alongside a slightly adjusted price target, underscores the analyst’s belief in the company’s potential for significant upside, driven by its digital expansion and strategic initiatives.
