Cineverse is Courage and Conviction Investing's highest-conviction small-cap idea. BuzzFeed has rebounded post-Byron Allen deal, resolving balance sheet risk and unlocking significant optionality in media, studio, and AI assets.
I reiterate a Buy rating on BuzzFeed at ~$1.40/share, citing undervalued assets and improved liquidity post-Byron Allen transaction. The market underappreciates BZFD's $100M promissory note, potential monetization of Studios and Tasty, and strategic partnership with Allen Family Digital. Management is preparing Studios and Tasty as a new independent entity, signaling a likely liquidity event or asset sale to unlock value.
Twelve years ago BuzzFeed Inc reportedly valued itself at almost $1 billion, scaring off rumored interest from the Walt Disney Company.
