  • The rating reflects regulatory uncertainty and sector-wide multiple contractions. 
  • While a more restricted regulatory environment could impact the timing of content release and present near-term headwinds, he continues to think improving the quality and quantity of original content could drive a consistent improvement in sub-churn rates.
