Agora may beat new media law by moving its investments abroad
The Agora media giant, which owns Gazeta Wyborcza, may seek to invest on
foreign markets rather than in Poland if changes in the media laws proposed
by government are implemented, believes Deutsche Bank (DB) and BDM analysts.
The DB analysts also note in their report that the target price of Agora's
shares should be zl. 49. The government's proposals concerning limiting
media ownership would force Agora to cut its planned investments in local
radio stations and terrestrial television. Agora could turn its attention to
the Czech and Hungarian markets. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B3) A.D.
