SPHR
Sphere Entertainment Co. (SPHR) Management Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Execution Operating Discipline
Management is delivering solid gross profitability, with TTM gross margin at 54.2%, but operating margin remains negative at -5.7% and net margin at -5.2%.
Cash generation is respectable, with operating cash flow of $372.7M and free cash flow of $249.3M TTM, though income quality remains weak given negative earnings and a negative income quality metric.
Working capital is manageable but not especially strong, with a current ratio of 1.07 and a cash conversion cycle of 49.7 days.
Capital Allocation Balance Sheet
Leverage is moderate, with net debt to EBITDA at 2.29x and debt to capital at 30.1%, while cash per share of $14.42 provides some cushion.
Liquidity is adequate but not robust, as the current ratio sits just above 1.0 and the cash ratio is 0.70.
There is no dividend support, so capital returns appear to be focused on reinvestment and balance-sheet management.
Incentives Governance
No fresh news or disclosure in the provided data materially changes the view on management incentives or governance this month.
Absent new governance signals, the assessment remains based on operating execution and capital allocation outcomes rather than explicit incentive alignment data.
