After a fourth-quarter earnings beat, Canaccord’s Matthew Lee said Playmaker Capital Inc.  a Toronto-based sports media company, “continues to impress with its organic growth, reflecting robust demand for its audiences and the benefits of the company’s platform-based strategies.” He raised target to $1.15 from $1.10 with a “speculative buy” rating. The average is $1.20.

“On a pro-forma basis, PMKR generated 49-per-cent revenue growth in the quarter driven by a combination of session growth and improving monetization,” he said. “Looking forward, we have elevated our revenue estimates to reflect continued subscriber and advertising momentum. Our EBITDA forecasts are also increased modestly, which reflects increased revenue offset somewhat by opex reinvestment to drive further growth. We maintain our Speculative Buy on PMKR given the consistency of tailwinds supporting its organic revenue growth.”
