Palm Harbour Capital made the following comment about IHeartMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:IHRT) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

“The top detractor was IHeartMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:IHRT) (-24.3% -45 bps), the American radio and podcasting company. The company is the highest levered business in our portfolio and has suffered on fears of an advertisement slowdown. Company insiders continue to buy stock in the market and the company as of yet, has not seen the drastic slow-down the market is predicting. With long debt maturities and a growing podcasting business, as well as likely interest from a major shareholder, we think the company can survive all but the harshest of recessions. If, on the other hand, there is even a couple years of moderate growth, the company could be worth many multiples of the current share price.”
