The bullish case for iHeartMedia Inc (NASDAQ:IHRT) can be justified given its massive scale in the radio market that's twice the size of its closest competitor, according to Bank of America.
The Analyst
Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich initiated coverage of iHeartMedia with a Buy rating and $22 price target.
The Thesis
The analyst said shareholders may also benefit from capital returns as the company also de-levers from 5.9 times net debt to EBITDA to 3.1 times within three years.
Price Action
Shares of iHeartMedia traded around $13.08 at time of publication.
