This was the February earnings call event with CEO David Ellison and Paramount Presidenf Jeff She’ll speaking to investors.

A few things stood out:

• Paramount+ wasn’t mentioned in the article nor were the legacy IP franchises that the previous owners and management almost always stressed

• The underperforming film side of the conglomerate was called out

• Pluto is viewed as having been underdeveloped despite being an early free ad-supported streaming television leader and will be a priority

• investors are concerned about upcoming major pro sport licence renewals

• Despite being under investigation for allegations of providing insider trading information, Shell is still firmly in place as president of Paramount.
