We all know that institutional investors have purchased Blockbuster (BBI) stock at much higher levels, most notably Carl Icahn who owns over 20 million shares. In Mid-June, Marathon Asset announced their acquisition of 5.1% of the company. At the time the stock was trading at approximately $2.80-$2.90 per share, nearly a 20% premium to today's price. <>Turnaround efforts helped Blockbuster post better-than-expected profits for the fiscal first quarter in May, boosted by cost cutting, including store closures, reduced advertising and overhead expenses and a more profitable product mix.

"Management didn't really put its case in front of shareholders yet," the source told the paper.

Blockbuster: Merger Could Interfere with a Good Turnaround Story

4/14 - "Our initial analysis of the deal leads us to tentatively conclude that Blockbuster intends to raise around $500 million through a rights offering, plus an additional $500 - 800 million in incremental debt. The combined company would have around $120 - 150 million of EBITDA before synergies, implying a debt to EBITDA ratio of 6 - 11x. It is not clear to us that Blockbuster will succeed in financing this transaction."
"Blockbuster also preannounced positive Q1 results, expecting adjusted EBITDA of $110 million (our prior estimate was for $80 million) and net income of $30 million (ou...

Blockbuster is my favorite movie rental service. They have come up with aggressive strategies recently but have been facing some stiff competition from Netflix. With the summer and holiday season coming up they should be seeing some good sales. Good time to buy now, Its at a low after the initial climb early this year

NFLX is no doubt gourmet popcorn, but the mass-appeal and VFM of BBI just can't be beat. Total access plan combined with brick & mortar presence is enough to hedge out all competition for mainstream movie-buffs. Was overpriced for quite a while, but now has fallen to less than realistic levels. Buy & Hold...make a killing ! Get some !

Blockbuster Inc (NYSE: BBI ) released their Q4 and year-end results along with the financial apologies associated with them. Apparently because they are attempting to enter the on-line business they have to create some losses along the way and disappoint investors in the process.
The real focus should be on a bizarre section of their press release entitled “Other Matters” The Board of Directors and the CEO are having a disagreement over the CEO’s bonus. The press release reads

Blockbuster has started a very aggressive campaign and has almost doubled its online presence supported by their strong physical presence. I project strong growth for the rest of the year.
