All-round entertainer

Edel AG is unusual in combing extensive entertainment content (owned and/or licensed) with the ability to manufacture physical assets and distribute both physical and digital formats. The resurgence of demand for vinyl has boosted its recent manufacturing earnings, while the breadth and diversity of the overall offering provides considerable portfolio benefits. The group is majority family-owned, with limited market liquidity. This partially explains the modest rating, at a discount to global entertainment content and publishing companies and carrying an attractive yield.
