AMC Networks: Reiterating Strong Buy On Proactive Debt Management
AMCX is trading at all-time lows, but proactive debt management and cost discipline are improving its risk profile and reducing default risk. Low-budget, niche content like 'Clown in a Cornfield' demonstrates high ROI potential and possible franchise upside for AMCX's content strategy.
