Welcome to the LBTYB (Liberty Global Ltd. (Class B)) Roar Pit. Current RQD Composite is 37/100 (Roarable Sell — Vulnerable Balance Sheet & Flow) in Cable & Other Pay Television Services. Bulls point to operating leverage and sector positioning, while bears focus on macro rate sensitivity and margin execution. Pick your side (🐂 Bull or 🐻 Bear) and drop your price target below.
Everyone in here is repeating the bull case on LBTYB, but look at what you are paying: current EV/EBITDA multiples with 65.8% gross margins. Unless Liberty Global Ltd. (Class B) expands free cash flow yield next quarter, I would rather wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before touching this.
Looking at the 5-pillar RQD breakdown on LBTYB, the market is fixating on short-term headline noise in Cable & Other Pay Television Services and ignoring the balance sheet and cash flow trajectory. At $11.00 (52-wk range $10.20 - $29.01), any beat on forward guidance forces shorts and underweight funds to chase.
