Lionsgate Studios Corp. (LION)

Lionsgate Studios' stock price has fluctuated in the past six months. The stock decreased by 14.98% over the last 12 months and 7.83% in the preceding month, but experienced gains of 4.5% and 7.2% in the weeks prior to August 9, 2025, and September 17, 2025, respectively. Liberty 77 Capital made a substantial purchase of shares in May-June 2025. The company reported a Q1 FY2026 revenue of $556 million with an operating loss of $10.6 million, and overall revenue for the quarter fell by 16%. The stock reached a new 52-week low in July 2025. Q2 FY2025 results were described as "disappointing", while Q4 FY2025 saw strong results with revenue increasing 22% year-over-year.

Demand for Lionsgate Studios' products and services exhibits some seasonality and is influenced by various factors. The company strategically times film releases, and television production revenue can be impacted by industry strikes. The company has demonstrated consistent demand for its existing content, with trailing 12-month library revenue showing growth for three consecutive quarters, reaching a record $989 million. The television segment has also shown strong growth, with demand from streaming platforms remaining robust.

Lionsgate Studios Holding Corp. is a Canadian-American film and television production and distribution conglomerate in the Consumer Cyclicals sector. Formed on May 14, 2024, after spinning off from Starz Entertainment, it develops, produces, and distributes feature films and television productions. Its portfolio includes major franchises like The Hunger Games, John Wick, Twilight, and Saw, and television series like Mad Men and Orange Is the New Black. The company manages a film and television library exceeding 20,000 titles.

Lionsgate Studios operates across the United States, Canada, and internationally, with its primary base in Santa Monica, California, and domicile in Vancouver, British Columbia. It has expanded production capabilities with studio facilities in Yonkers, New York; Newark, New Jersey; and metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia. Lionsgate Television has international co-production partnerships with entities like Channel 4 in the UK, Bell Media in Canada, and Stan in Australia.

Lionsgate Studios' brand reputation has seen both positive and challenging developments in the past year. The company invested in key franchises like John Wick and The Hunger Games. The international distribution of the House of David series garnered positive feedback and attracted 22 million viewers, leading to a second season renewal. Lionsgate expanded The Strangers: Chapter 2 into a multi-game Halloween activation on Roblox. However, "disappointing financial results" in Q2 FY2025 and the underperformance of films like "Borderlands" negatively impacted the motion picture segment's profit. Cost-cutting measures, including a 5% headcount reduction, also affected brand image.
