GNUS Stock Takeover Likely

We were the first ones to speculate that Netflix or Disney would buy GNUS stock. However, we think you can add Amazon and Alibaba to a list of potential suitors as well. The reason is that Amazon AND Alibaba are already working with Genius Brands on Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten.Created by Stan Lee as one of his final projects, Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten, which will premiere in 2021 on Amazon Prime in the U.S., is co-produced by Genius Brands with China’s Alibaba Group, Lee’s POW! Entertainment, and Schwarzenegger’s Oak Productions. Schwarzenegger, who also serves as executive producer, lends his voice as the lead character in the series.CEO Andy Heyward is focused on building his entertainment powerhouse. After selling his last company to Disney, when will he sell Genius Brands? Which company is the most likely buyer? Netflix or Disney or Amazon or Alibaba?Consider the shows in development and the depth of characters in the GNUS stock portfolio. Disney bought Marvel for $4.2 billion. CEO Andy Heyward is following the Marvel playbook.

Bottom Line

Right now we know many GNUS stockholders are frustrated and some are even getting discouraged. But it's important to block out the news and ignore the bears. Instead, focus on what the smart money is doing like Anson Funds, Heights Capital, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Andy Heyward. They are all looking for a big payday. Going by the increase in October call buying, it might come sooner rather than later in GNUS stock.As always, good luck to all (except the shorts)!
