Maxim Group - Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) - John Tinker - analyst
In a newly issued research report, Maxim Group Senior Media Analyst John Tinker reiterates his BUY rating on Liberty Media (NASDAQ:LMCA) and raises his price target on the equity from $106.00 to $138.00. Tinker attributes his upgraded price target on Liberty Media “mostly” to his Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) price target forecast of $3.20.

Using our SIRI target price enables investors to gauge the upside of both stocks and assess their respective weighting. SIRI is the “pure play”, which is estimated to cumulatively generate $3B in free cash over the next 3 years; LMCA owns 40% (with the option to own 45.2%) of SIRI and is a more complicated indirect play, holding a portfolio of public and private media assets. 

– John Tinker, Senior Media Analyst, Maxim Group

Tinker’s $138.00 per share asset value for Liberty Media (LMCA) is based on $91.17 per share of value from public equities, of which Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) makes up $78.00 per share at $9.5 Billion (using his $3.20 price target), along with other public stocks such as Live Nation (NYSE:LYV) with a $14.00 price target and Viacom (NASDAQ:VIAB) with a $59.00 price target at their current market prices. Tinker factors in $32.41 per share from private and other holdings and $14.25 per share in net cash. Read More
