Original Reddit post

Author argues Paramount Global trades at a meaningful discount to a sum-of-the-parts asset value of roughly $20-25B versus ~$15B enterprise value, and holds a small speculative position betting on a buyer or turnaround.

PARA — LONG The author argues Paramount's assets are real despite the market's hatred: CBS remains the most-watched broadcast network, Paramount Plus has scale, and the film library plus brands like Nickelodeon, MTV and BET carry value. A sum-of-the-parts estimate puts asset value around $20-25B versus a current enterprise value near $15B, a meaningful discount to breakup value. The catalyst is either a buyer emerging or management executing a turnaround, neither guaranteed, and the author notes quality metrics are depressing. The author holds a small speculative position because the asymmetry is attractive even if not everything goes right.

Add it up and you get somewhere around $20 to $25 billion in asset value. Current enterprise value is around $15 billion. Thats a meaningful discount to breakup value.
