Unlocking Value: Sinclair's Path To FCF Growth, YouTube, And Deregulation
Sinclair's new YouTube agreement and potential deregulation could unlock strategic growth, enabling more TV station acquisitions and accelerating free cash flow. Recent acquisitions, especially CPX Interactive, are expected to drive FCF growth in 2025-2027, supporting a bullish outlook despite near-term EPS weakness. The company's high debt load is a key risk, but refinancing and interest rate hedges provide flexibility.
Ziff Davis: Too Cheap At 4 Times FCF Despite Its Risks
Ziff Davis's revenue growth was 4.5% in Q1, driven by acquisitions which were done last year. I estimate $328 million in FCF for this year, putting the valuation at just 4 times FCF. FCF is being deployed towards acquisitions and share buybacks.

BT Group: Getting Nearer To The Point Of FCF Inflection
I remain bullish on BT Group as we approach a free cash flow inflection, driven by fiber rollout, cost savings, and reduced competitive pressure. Management projects normalized FCF to reach GBP2 billion in FY27, with strong cost-cutting and fiber expansion supporting further margin growth.

Meren: A Sustainable 20% FCF Yield And 11% Dividend
Africa Oil (soon Meren Energy) delivers strong Q1 2025 results, reducing net debt and maintaining a double-digit dividend yield. Core Nigerian operations generate robust cash flow, while exploration in Namibia's Venus Field offers long-term upside but won't replace current production soon. Guidance for 2025 is conservative, but projected free cash flow comfortably covers the dividend and supports ongoing debt reduction.
Rocket Lab: Positive FCF May Come Sooner Than You Think
Up almost 400% since my previous bullish article published in June 2024, RKLB has handsomely rewarded investors who bet on the company's disruptive potential. The Q1 earnings print was decent, but it was evident that the company is forced to incur substantial capital expenditures as we inch closer to Neutron's test flight.

Clearwater Paper: Boring Papermill/Cardboard Maker, Potential 25% FCF Yield Over Time
Clearwater Paper's 2024 asset shuffle and debt reduction effort position the company for strong future performance, with management targeting $100+ million in annual free cash flow soon. Clearwater's valuation is attractive, with price to sales and book value ratios telegraphing the potential for investment outperformance versus the S&P 500 in coming years. U.S.-focused operations and low-interest expense provide a competitive edge, especially amid a trade war with rising raw material costs.
SM Energy: FCF Generation Remains Solid At High-$50s Oil
SM's Q1 2025 production ended up near the high end of expectations, helped by the improved Uinta Basin volumes. SM's free cash flow is projected at close to $700 million for the full year at current strip. The company's capex is front-loaded into 1H 2025, resulting in expectations for higher 2H 2025 free cash flow.
