Reservoir Media, Inc.
Next earnings Aug 3, 2026 · consensus $-0.01 EPS, $42.3M rev
Last earnings -2.4% on 2026-05-28
Durable, growing music-catalog cash machine that's fully priced on GAAP earnings — but a live buyout process is the real story.
Revenue $176M · FY2026
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~76% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
Reservoir is a well-run independent music company (publishing + recorded music) whose economics are better than the headline P/E of 78.5 suggests. Revenue has compounded steadily from $108M in FY2022 to $176M in FY2026 (+10.7% YoY), operating margin is a healthy 21.8%, and the business converts strongly to cash: $50.1M of operating cash flow on just $482K of capex. That cash-annuity quality — royalties on a catalog of hits 'dating back to the early 1900s' — is exactly what makes music IP attractive. The depressed net income ($8.3M, 4.7% margin) and the nosebleed P/E are largely artifacts of $30.8M in non-cash D&A from acquired catalogs, not a broken operating model.
The catch is the balance sheet and the price. Long-term debt rose 17.4% to $456M against just $378M of equity (1.51x liabilities/equity) and $25.9M of cash, and management explicitly notes the Senior Credit Facility restricts dividends. ROE is only 2.2%. On fundamentals alone the stock discounts a lot: even on cash flow, enterprise value (~$670M cap + ~$456M debt) sits near ~22x OCF. A great catalog, but not an obviously cheap one.
