Core Viewpoint - CuriosityStream (CURI) stock has experienced significant price fluctuations, transitioning from a low of $0.45 in early 2024 to recent gains, raising questions about future upside potential despite a shift away from "deep value" status [1][2]. Group 1: Company History and Performance - CuriosityStream has undergone three distinct stages since its SPAC debut: the "deSPACing" phase, the "whacked" phase following the SPAC bubble burst, and the current "comeback" phase driven by positive Q4 2023 earnings surprises and a new cash dividend program [2][3]. - The company reported a 12.1% decline in revenue year-over-year for Q2 2024, primarily due to a strategic pivot from licensing content to focusing on its subscription-based streaming platform [3][4]. - Despite the revenue drop, gross profits increased by 52% year-over-year, and net losses narrowed significantly from $9.6 million in Q2 2023 to $2 million in Q2 2024 [4]. Group 2: Financial Metrics and Valuation - CuriosityStream's market cap stands at $105.4 million, with an enterprise value of approximately $70.4 million after accounting for cash and debt [6]. - The company’s trailing twelve-month EBITDA is around $5 million, suggesting a potential EV/EBITDA ratio of about 7x, compared to a median of 10.5x for its sector [6]. - Valuation estimates indicate that the operating business could be worth around $105 million, leading to a potential share price of approximately $2.64, representing an upside of about 36.8% from recent performance [6]. Group 3: Strategic Initiatives and Future Growth - CuriosityStream's strategic pivot towards factual programming and partnerships, such as with Estrella for Spanish-language content, may enhance revenue growth and improve market perception [7][8]. - The company has room to increase its dividend, which currently represents an annual outflow of around $5.6 million, potentially leading to further share price growth [9]. - There is potential for CuriosityStream to pursue strategic alternatives, including acquisitions, which could enhance its valuation and market position [11]. Group 4: Market Conditions and Investor Sentiment - The recent stock price increase has been influenced by expectations of interest rate cuts, which may lead to volatility in the short term as high-yield stocks are affected by market dynamics [5][12]. - While the stock has seen significant gains, there are concerns about future performance and the sustainability of its streaming platform amid aggressive cost-cutting measures [12].

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction.

The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades. Eve ...
