Mario Gabelli Sees Significant Opportunity In Disney, Paramount And This Overlooked Media Stock: 'You're Going To Make 50%'
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Mario Gabelli, CEO of GAMCO Investors, sees significant upside in several media stocks, including TEGNA Inc (TGNA), Walt Disney Co (DIS), and Paramount Global (PARA). He believes that the increase in budgets for political advertising from $2.5 billion to $14 billion in 2024 will benefit television stations. Gabelli also expects the Federal Communications Commission to lift the 39% coverage cap for TV station operators, which could lead to companies like Disney and Paramount holding onto their networks and selling or spinning off the TV stations.
