The Boyar Value Group has issued an open letter to James Dolan, Executive Chairman of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS), proposing to split the New York Knicks and New York Rangers into separate publicly traded companies. The investment advisor highlights a significant valuation disconnect, noting that while Forbes values the Knicks at $7.5 billion and Rangers at $3.5 billion, MSG Sports trades at an enterprise value of just $5 billion.
The firm points to the "Dolan Discount," citing MSGS's underperformance with just 21% returns over five years compared to the S&P 500's 141% gain. The proposal suggests that a split would eliminate the holding company discount and provide investors clear ownership options in either franchise. Alternative value-enhancing options, including a potential sale or strategic investment, are also being considered.
- Local media rights fees decreased $18.6 million due to proposed amendments with MSG Networks
- Sponsorship and signage revenues increased $8.9 million
- Suite revenues grew by $3.4 million
- Direct operating expenses increased 16% to $316.3 million
