Lionsgate Stock Reaches Record High After Strong Fiscal 2026 Results

Renewed investor interest follows a jump in recurring library revenue, Q4 profitability and a disclosed $85.9 million stake by Shapiro Capital Management.

Overview

  • The share price rose to an intraday high of $14.98 on Friday as traders reacted to the company’s quarterly report and surge in demand for its content.
  • Lionsgate cut its full fiscal 2026 net loss by 45% to $198.3 million and swung to attributable net income of $70.2 million in the fourth quarter.
  • Quarterly revenue was $906.5 million, operating income rose to $117.5 million, OIBDA hit $165.4 million—the highest quarterly level in 12 years—and free cash flow was $190.4 million.
  • Management said the company’s content library generated more than $1 billion in trailing 12-month revenue for a third straight quarter and pointed to near‑$400 million global box‑office receipts for The Housemaid as a key driver.
  • An SEC filing shows Shapiro Capital acquired 9,309,570 shares for about $85.9 million, and investors will now watch whether library monetization and a deeper scripted pipeline can sustain durable earnings growth.
