Roku stock drops after Guggenheim cuts to neutral, citing Apple risk
Shares of Roku Inc. are down 2.7% in Thursday morning trading after Guggenheim's Michael Morris downgraded the stock to neutral from buy and lowered his price target to $72 from $77. "We believe that the Apple video product unveiled on March 25 represents an additional risk to Roku's active user base (even as the platform includes The Roku Channel) while Amazon's and Viacom's greater pushes into advertising video on demand (AVOD) are increasing competition," Morris wrote. "CFO Steve Louden's sale of 100,000 shares (representing his non-option share holdings) subsequent to our note on [March 6, when Morris raised his target to $77] has also shaken our confidence." He still sees strong secular tailwinds for the company as streaming continues to gain steam but argues that expectations for growth in active accounts and advertising revenue are already in the consensus forecast. Morris also upgraded Facebook Inc. shares to buy from neutral in a Thursday note. Roku's stock has shot up 103% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 has risen 13%.

Why Viacom's Deal With T-Mobile Makes a Lot of Sense
Time Warner unit, which owns assets such as HBO, TBS, TNT and DC Comics, might also be big enough to be competitive. While these firms undoubtedly have valuable content assets, brands and intellectual property, their content bases aren't large enough to deliver direct-to-consumer (D2C) streaming services that can convince a large percentage of consumers to add another monthly bill to their credit cards. In the absence of such scale, it makes sense for smaller players to either merge or to sell to someone bigger, just as Fox Networks has sold itself to Disney and Viacom and CBS have explored a deal.

CBS missed its internal deadline to name a new CEO — and don't expect a decision soon
While the company has never set a formal deadline, the failure to name a CEO after almost six months of searching suggests the company hasn't found the right candidate and is waiting for more clarity on M&A. Joe Ianniello has been filling this role on an interim basis since September after Les Moonves resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations. No announcement is imminent either, according to a people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named because the search process is private.
