Cove Street Small Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ:SSP) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:
“Starting with the detractor column, The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ:SSP) is a noteworthy best performer/worst performer candidate, and to be fair to us, we have made Buys near the bottom and Sales near the top several times over the past few years. People are worried about SSP’s leverage in an uncertain media economy. Our research suggests people are grossly under-appreciating the number of levers management can pull to carry the company past the current fear trade. In our opinion, it is a very, very cheap stock.”
