Daniel Gladiš, Chief Executive Officer, Vltava Fund, will present their investment thesis on ITV at European Investing Summit 2016, to be held online on October 4-5. Here’s a snapshot of the investment thesis:
ITV (London: ITV) is a producer and broadcaster operating the largest commercial family of channels in the UK. ITV is also the largest production company in the UK, with significant operations in the U.S. and several European countries. ITV has a strong and underlevered balance sheet, high returns on invested capital, is highly cash-generative and has strong growth opportunities. Six years into its transformation plan, the business model is more balanced than ever. Well-managed and shareholder-oriented, ITV trades in the post-Brexit world at low multiples both relative to its own past and to its peers. At a P/E of 11x, FCF yield of 8%, dividend yield of 4%, and net debt to EBITDA of 0.7x, the stock represents a combination of a quality company and a low price.
