Premium Valuation Gap Widens

• Blue Ant Media shares now trade at CA$8.23, well above both their DCF fair value of CA$5.49 and the North American entertainment sector average price-to-earnings multiple (21x compared to the industry average of 20.8x and peers at 13.8x).
• For those following the prevailing market view, this pricing premium challenges the case for further upside.
  • The current valuation rests on revenue forecasts of 20.5% annual growth, outpacing the wider Canadian market’s 4.6% rate.
  • However, earnings are only expected to climb 4.5% annually, trailing the market's 11.7% pace.

One-Off Gains Cloud Trend

• The recent CA$24.8 million one-off gain played a large role in lifting reported net income to CA$29.1 million in Q4 FY 2025.
• This skews the net profit margin, which climbed to 6.6% from 6.1% year-over-year.
  • The underlying earnings power is less clear without these extraordinary items.
  • Investors may need to discount the headline jump when assessing sustainable profitability.

Public Track Record Remains Short

• Blue Ant Media has less than three years of public trading history, making longer-term trend analysis more challenging.
• Despite this, the business demonstrated an 11.7% year-over-year increase in earnings per share to CA$0.81.
  • Solid EPS growth adds a point for fundamentals, but limited data means investors focus more on each quarter’s swings.
  • Results get more scrutiny, especially in a high growth sector crowded with emerging competitors.
