In the second quarter investor letter, Cove Street Capital discussed stocks like Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF-B). Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF-B) is an entertainment company that engages in film, television, and subscription business. On August 26, 2022, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF-B) stock closed at $9.65 per share. One-month return of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF-B) rose to 16.13%, and its shares lost 17.80% of their value over the last 52 weeks. Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF-B) has a market capitalization of $2.246 billion.
Here is what Cove Street Capital specifically said about Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF-B):
“Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF-B): is in the process of splitting itself into Starz and the legacy studio business, essentially undoing the merger that happened in 2017. Upon the announcement of the potential sale or spin-off of Starz, the stock appreciated meaningfully. There had been a definitive perception that the management team at Lions Gate was not interested in creating value for shareholders and would never sell the whole company or any of its pieces. That change in narrative was helpful right until Netflix announced its Q1 2022 earnings, which basically sank the entire video streaming industry. The first concern was about Netflix’s inability to grow domestic subs. The other take-away was that Netflix would cut back on its content spending. Despite the fact that Lions Gate sells very little of its content to Netflix, the market became worried that the studios, like Lions Gate, which are essentially arms dealers to other platforms, were going to see a precipitous drop in demand. The stock price has dropped to a level that is currently a fraction of our conservative estimate of intrinsic value, and management has suggested that a deal for Starz may be completed by the first quarter of calendar 2023. Vivendi, Roku (Ticker: ROKU), Apollo (Ticker: APO) and DirecTV (Ticker: DTV) have been rumored to be interested in acquiring a portion of Starz. But, regardless of the buyer our research suggests that a deal will likely create value for shareholders, especially relative to the currently depressed share price. As we wait, it has been quite heartening to see director Gordon Crawford continue to buy hundreds of thousands of shares in the open market.”

Disclosure: None. This article is originally published at Insider Monkey.
When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.
Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.
At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.
Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.
Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:
175 Teslas
107 Amazons
140 Metas
84 Googles
65 Microsofts
And 55 Nvidias
And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.
It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.
Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.
How could anything be worth that much?
The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.
And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.
What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.
In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.
Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.
Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.
When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.
Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…
But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.
And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…
