GNUS

My latest “Bright Idea” is perhaps my most “genius” yet!

*Sponsored by Lifewater Media

With Netflix hogging the spotlight in the streaming sector right now, you probably missed this Bright Idea hiding out in the NASDAQ small-caps lately:

Genius Brands International (NASDAQ: GNUS)

Folks, I believe this company is the definition of a “sleeping giant” —

GNUS is a global children’s media company.

They develop, produce, market and license kids’ shows with an A-List talent roster that includes absolute legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shaquille O’Neal and the Stan Lee brand.

GNUS is already making massive waves in the entertainment game, so much so that a top analyst at Dawson James Securities is calling for this $3 stock to break $10…

And a well-known analyst over at TipRanks has their sights set even higher, predicting a $12.50 price point on the horizon for GNUS…

In other words, we’re looking at a potential 400% run.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised. 

What we have with GNUS really is the whole package —

We’re looking at:

 

1. Rock-Solid Technicals & Financials

The very first thing I noticed about this stock was the stellar movement on 4 key support lines, including its:

Which is very promising, in my opinion. If we see support start to build at these levels, that’s going to create the platform GNUS needs to overtake previous highs — 

An event that wouldn’t be surprising, considering the stock’s history of price surges like 66% in a single day…

116% in just over a week…

Or the immense 2,506% run-up that took less than a month to play out.

And after reviewing the company’s financials, it’s plain to see why GNUS has been on the move lately —

First of all, Yahoo Finance reports that this $3 stock only has a market cap of just $97 million right now.  It is a super-small float, with fewer than 30 million shares in its float… 

Considering the amount of volatility these levels produce, GNUS looks like exactly the type of opportunity that I’d expect to make massive moves in a short period of time…

Especially given that they recently reported an 885% revenue increase in Q1 —

An absolutely staggering leap in itself, but especially impressive due to the fact that media companies are coming off their worst year in three decades.

Meanwhile, this young content company is exploding eightfold, sitting on $114.3 million in assets and $23.5 million in working capital (as reported on March 31). 

But why?

Why is this company gaining so much speed in a seemingly-saturated market?

Well, for starters…

 

2. GNUS is becoming the juggernaut of family-friendly IPs through aggressive acquisitions

Chief among Genius Brands’ massive collection of notable IPs is Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten – starring Arnold Schwarzenegger – which is selling on both Amazon and the Kartoon Channel App, captivating young viewers with easily-digested lessons through superhero stories…

We’ve also got Shaq’s Garage, starring Shaquille O’Neal streaming on both the Kartoon Channel app and PlutoTV, with the NBA legend putting his love for cars on full display.

Last but not least we have Jennifer Garner’s TV adaption of the Llama Llama children’s books streaming on the cartoon channel and Netflix, bringing GNUS content into the forefront of mainstream entertainment…

But really that’s just scratching the surface — 

GNUS is already swallowing up smaller firms like WOW Unlimited Media, Ameba TV and Frederator to acquire massively syndicated IPs like The Fairly OddParents, Adventure Time, and Bee and PuppyCat to add even more bulk to its powerhouse lineup.

Along with a network of over 2,000 exclusive creators and social media influencers to expand their reach even further… 

(Now, you probably noticed that all of their content is streaming on the Kartoon Channel app… and there’s a good reason — they consolidated ownership of that, too.)

But as exciting as it is to see such a solid foundation under a small-cap gem like GNUS… their most recent announcement really struck me as a potentially explosive catalyst in the days ahead:

 

3. GNUS is officially joining the ranks of Media Titans like Disney & Sony


When the markets open on Monday next week, GNUS is making a huge directional shift by transferring their listing from the Nasdaq Capital Market to the NYSE American Exchange — 

This is where all the big boys are:

Disney, Sony, AMC, Roblox, and now…

Genius Brands, which is rebranding to Kartoon Studios to: 

“[R]eflect the core DNA of the Company, making high quality and socially responsible animated cartoons for children, distributing them worldwide, and licensing consumer products based on the character images. In conjunction with the renaming of the company, we are transitioning our st-ock listing to the NYSE American exchange, which we believe is more aligned with our strategy to become a leading provider of children’s entertainment.”

-Andy Hayward, Chairman & CEO, Genius Brands

And when the markets open on June 26th, 2023, the company’s common stock will begin trading under a new ticker: “TOON”

CEO Hayward went on to add:

“The defining focus of our new ‘Kartoon’ and animation rebranding reflects the recent vertical integration of the business following several acquisitions over the past year, including WOW Unlimited Media in Canada and its subsidiaries Frederator Studios, Frederator Network and Mainframe Entertainment; Ameba TV; Beacon Media; as well as taking a major stake in Germany’s Your Family Entertainment, the largest children’s animation catalogue in Europe. We now have capabilities to do everything in-house, from content creation to production, distribution and global merchandising.”

Based on that statement… 

It’s clear that Hayward – who has, himself, worked at The Walt Disney Company, Warner Brothers, and WP – is on a mission to bring Genius Brands/Kartoon Studios to the very front of mainstream entertainment…

And after reviewing the chart technicals… the company financials… and the aggressive growth strategies that they’re implementing…

I believe that it’s possible. 

In my opinion, GNUS has carved out a unique niche in a very lucrative space. I think GNUS has a bright future ahead of it, and that it would be a mistake not to stop – right now – take some time right now to fully review this opportunity, and decide if this stock is the right move for your portfolio.

A great place to start would be right here on the company’s website as well as the full report that our friends at Stock Market Dispatch have put together on GNUS.  

I think you’ll love this hot new idea as much as we do!

To Your Success!
