Monimus Capital Management has significantly increased its stake in Lionsgate Studios (LION), acquiring approximately 460,000 shares, as revealed in a May 15 SEC filing. This move has raised the value of their holding by $4.6 million, coinciding with a notable stock price rise to $12.66, marking an impressive 85% increase over the past year, far outpacing the S&P 500’s 27% gain.
Lionsgate’s recent performance underscores its potential for long-term growth, especially following its separation from Starz. The studio reported third-quarter revenues of $724.3 million, driven by a 35% year-over-year surge in motion picture revenue. Despite a net loss of $46.2 million and substantial debt, the company is capitalizing on its extensive content library and franchise strength, which could lead to recurring revenue streams from licensing and streaming.
Investors should watch for Lionsgate’s upcoming earnings report on May 21, as continued strong performance could further validate the stock’s recent rally and attract additional interest in the entertainment sector.
