Sinclair Broadcasting takes a beating
By David Lieberman and James Cox, USA TODAY
Sinclair Broadcasting (SBGI) continues to feel heat from Wall Street as the company's 62 television stations prepare this week to air Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal, a documentary critical of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's Vietnam-era activities.
Shares closed Monday at $6.49, down 55 cents since Friday — and down 12% since Oct. 11, the first day of trading after the Los Angeles Times disclosed Sinclair's plans.
Lehman Bros. cut its 12-month price target to $9 from $10 as analyst William Meyers noted in a report that airing the documentary "has no upside and only multi-dimensional downside" for the company — for example by alienating advertisers and regulators.
But that's not Sinclair's only business problem — nor its only experience with controversy.
Sinclair's financial woes were highlighted Monday in J.P. Morgan's decision to initiate coverage with an "underweight" rating that indicates it is expected to under-perform its peer group.
"In our conversation with management, we detected substantial frustration with the company's stock price," analyst Barton Crockett says. Sinclair's stock is down 56.7% year-to-date compared with the S&P 500's rise of 0.2% for the year. He adds that Sinclair may consider trying to go private but would be hindered by its debt.
