TEGNA: Cost Controls And Potential Dealmaking Make Shares Attractive

Political and advertising revenue headwinds are cyclical, so I value TEGNA on multi-year free cash flow, not single-year results. Cost discipline, sports content deals, and a strong balance sheet position TEGNA to weather industry pressures and return capital to shareholders.
