Lionsgate Studios Corp. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Lionsgate Studios Corp. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 57.1/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1010 of 7,333 stocks, LION presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 55/100, LION shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 0.0% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 100.0% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of -12.3% (sector avg: 2.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
LION carries a solid value score of 78/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 65.30x, an EV/EBITDA of 12.37x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
Lionsgate Studios Corp.'s investment score of 31/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -12.1% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of -4.9% (sector: 2.4%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
LION shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 80/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at -12.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.82 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
With a stability score of 57/100, LION exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.82. While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
Lionsgate Studios Corp.'s short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. At $2.2B (mid-cap), LION carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
Lionsgate Studios Corp. is a mid-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1010 of 7,333 overall (86th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 0.0% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 0.1% below the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While LION currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
