I’d be remiss if I didn’t address the elephant in the room. Sirius XM has been shedding subscribers from its flagship service for several successive quarters. However, management explained that while paid subscribers declined nearly 1.5%, this was largely the result of unpaid trial subscriptions offered by a number of automakers. The company attracts many of its subscribers as a result of these free trials.

The macroeconomic headwinds of recent years resulted in fewer cars being sold, thus fewer new memberships. Furthermore, as consumers made difficult choices at the gas pump and in the grocery aisle, some let their subscriptions lapse when they came up for renewal. However, history shows that an improving economy bodes well for consumer spending, which includes Sirius XM.

Then, there’s Pandora’s advertising business. Many businesses cut back on ad spending to weather the economic downturn, but as inflation continues to subside, advertising is staging a long-awaited recovery, which is evident in the company’s results. While ad revenue was flat year over year, it was up 10% sequentially. As the economy continues to bounce back, so too will Pandora’s ad revenue.

Aside from a degree of predictability and strong recurring cash flow, there’s another benefit Buffett might find appealing. The company pays a healthy dividend that yields roughly 3.9% and has increased 166% over the past 10 years. Furthermore, with a payout ratio of just 28%, there’s plenty of potential for that dividend to grow in the years and decades to come.

There’s also the matter of valuation. The aforementioned challenges have spooked fair-weather investors, driving down the stock price and its valuation. Sirius XM is currently selling for just 8 times earnings and 1 times sales — which is the very definition of attractively priced. It’s no secret that Buffett likes a bargain, and Sirius certainly qualifies.

Buffett isn’t the only one who thinks Sirius XM stock is cheap. Benchmark analyst Matthew Harrigan is squarely in the Buffett camp. Just last week, Harrigan reaffirmed his buy rating on Sirius XM with a price target of $43.

That represents potential upside of 58% compared to Monday’s closing price. The analyst had previously cited the market disconnect resulting from its recent merger with tracking stock Liberty Sirius XM. He also believes that management’s laundry list of “strategic initiatives” will ultimately be successful.

To recap, Sirius XM generates strong, predictable free cash flow, has a generous and growing dividend, and is selling for a song. Given the improving macroeconomic outlook, the potential upside, and the Warren Buffett seal of approval, Sirius XM might be worth a look.
