Maxim Group Maintains a 'Buy' on Sirius (SIRI) and Liberty Media (LMCA); Q2 Preview

Maxim Group maintains a 'Buy' on Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) and Liberty Media (Nasdaq: LMCA) price targets $3.20 and $138, respectively.

Analyst, John Tinker, said, "SIRI should report 2Q12 on August 7, 2012 at 8AM following their July 9, preannouncement of record net subscriber addition of 622,042 (up 38% y/y) in 2Q12, compared to our estimate of 417,249 and 2Q11 net adds of 452,147 (down 23% y/y). Net subs additions in 2Q11 were down due to disruption in car sales caused among Japanese car manufacturers. 2Q12 net subs additions were impressive, up 7% over 2Q10 net additions. The record-breaking net subs addition suggests a very strong 2Q12, despite economic uncertainties and the price hike that began in January 2012 (prices were raised from $12.95 to $14.49). Additionally, new car sales for 2Q12 came in at 3.8M – higher than our estimate of 3.5M, which probably helped strong net subs adds. For FY12, we estimate total car sales of 14M, compared to the consensus estimate of 14.1M."
