MSG Networks Inc. (MSGN) is engaged in production and content development which comprised of sports and entertainment networks, MSG Network and MSG+ as well as MSGNetworks.com and MSG GO. MSG Networks Inc., formerly known as Madison Square Garden Company, is based in New York.
These days many assert that “content is king” and, in the case of Madison Square Garden networks, we may be seeing a test of that maxim. Media reports starting last week indicate that entity is being shopped around as owner James Dolan seeks to raise cash in order to fund a bid for Madison Square Garden itself.
MSG Networks receives a high rate for every subscriber to its content, which includes the games of the NY Knicks,Islanders, and Rangers, the New Jersey Devils, and other big-market franchises. While ESPN, a national network, receives @7/subscriber from cable providers, Dolan charges them $5/subscriber.
MSG Networks is relatively new, and this move is not unexpected given the fact that many predicted this course of action when the spin off occurred less than two years ago.
Verizon, AT&T, and other telecom giants are the expected suitors, but regulatory issues apply here and some of the giants may avoid the purchase at a time when they are under increased scrutiny from the FCC and other regulatory bodies.
The stock has been up of late, and it is highly rated by our models. We have had a BUY or STRONG BUY on the stock for much of the past six months. We calculate the stock to be undervalued, and that is a good sign for an impending purchase since the offer may more approximate value represented by the fundamentals than the current market price.
