AI Summary

Stalk
StalkMedium

CNNE remains in a Stage 2 advancing trend with higher highs and lows above the rising 50-day MA, granting a medium-term bullish bias despite a late-June Bullish Exhaustion signal and rejection at the declining 200-day MA. Short-term timing is unfavorable, with price pulling back into the 9/21 EMAs and no clear breakout. Execution is deferred (Stalk) around pullbacks to the rising 9/21 EMAs or the 50-day MA for potential entry on renewed acceptance.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • we believe that transitioning the portfolio to the sports-related assets will create the most shareholder value over time.
  • In this last quarter, we allocated about 86% of our excess capital or of our capital to buybacks and dividends.
  • In the first quarter, we returned approximately $51 million to shareholders through a combination of buybacks and our regular dividend, which currently provides a 4.2% dividend yield.

Bear points

  • Total operating revenues for the first quarter were $96 million, down 7% year over year. The entirety of that decline came from the restaurant group, which reflects the closure of eight O'Charlie's locations since March of last year and lower traffic at both brands.
  • the board's firm view is these are non-core assets, and we are working to monetize them.
  • The strategic process around the restaurant group that we announced previously is ongoing. What I can update you on today is that the board's position is unchanged. This is a non-core asset, and our focus is to monetize the asset maximize proceeds, and redeploy that capital into either higher returning investments, which will grow our NAV, or into our own stock.
