4Q Follow-Up - Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings Corporation (9405 JP)
SUMMARY
- Over the last 5 years, share prices of major terrestrial TV broadcasters have substantially underperformed TOPIX, in large part due to the unprecedented, challenging environment as annual data by Dentsu showed total internet advertising expenditures exceeded total television media advertising expenditures in 2019 for the first time ever, and the annual MIC survey on average time spent using main media showed internet usage time exceeded TV real-time viewing in 2020.
- However, this underperformance trend has begun to change in 2023, as the stock market begins to discount the potential to commercialize the IP value of broadcaster content libraries.
- In February, USEN-NEXT HOLDINGS announced plans to acquire Premium Platform Japan, Inc. (PPJ), the operator of “Paravi” subscription video distribution service.
