Media Stocks - What's Buzzing?

One of the strongest sectors from last 1 year has been - Media.

With many stocks in the sector outperforming market returns by a large margin in last 12 months, not only that, many stocks have given multi year breakout and many stocks are on the verge of giving a big breakout ?

I’m not well versed with the sector. Any idea what’s buzzing ? Would love to know the rationale behind this massive rally.

Listed media companies need to pivot to internet-based OTT platforms to keep up with other OTT giants like Netlfix/Amazon Prime.

I am assuming ZEEL has been the laggard pushing the entire index down. Zeel has some news around it and it’s up 15% today.

Zeel peaked in 2018.

NIFTY Media Index peaked in 2018.

Reliance and Viacom18 on Wednesday announced a strategic partnership with Bodhi Tree Systems, which is a platform of James Murdoch’s Lupa Systems and Uday Shankar, to form one of the largest TV and digital streaming companies in India.

It is because every political parties pays them huge whether they are ruling or in opposition.

Its still profitable with some good options globally

Sun TV Networks and INOX are two best media stocks to buy presently. They have shown great performance
Although FY20 was an aberration, with Sun TV paying out 70% of its profit in dividends at the conclusion of the year, the company has a history of consistently paying out a strong dividend. The dividend payment ratio for FY21 is 13%, the lowest it has been in many years, but the company currently boasts a dividend yield of 2.98%, which is fantastic for dividend seekers.
Inox has already set forward its aggressive expansion plan for the upcoming five to seven years in an effort to increase its market share. INOX has managed to preserve solid liquidity of close to Rs 300 Cr, including an undrawn limit of Rs 120 Cr, in addition to being the only multiplex chain in the nation to be net debt free. The company’s long-term goal is to add 70–90 screens annually.
