AI summary

Versant Media's shares reflect a mix of dividend news and modest portfolio commentary this week. The company closed at $32.80 on 25 September, down 2.09%, and announced a cash dividend of $0.375 with an ex-date of 1 October 2026. Beyond that, recent coverage has been limited, with a filing showing Corient Private Wealth LP trimming its stake during the second quarter the only other notable item.

VSNT trades at $32.46, down 1% recently, and sits well below its 50-day moving average of $37.36, with a 52-week range of $27.17 to $59.00. Monthly performance shows a 1-month return of -17.8%, a 3-month return of -9.8%, and a 6-month return of -8.4%. The GekkoIndex reads 74.2, placing the stock in the Buying zone, while the gap to Gekko Fair Value of $56.22 stands at -42.3%, indicating the price sits well under that mark.

Looking ahead, Versant Media's next earnings date falls on 5 November 2026, 37 days away, which is outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. Its last report on 6 August showed EPS of $1.49 against an estimate of $1.39, with an 8% reaction, and the call highlighted double-digit aggregate audience growth across its TV networks. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the current window. Analyst coverage from 5 firms shows 1 buy and 4 hold ratings, with a consensus target of $44.57, implying 37.3% consensus upside.
