Weitz Investment Management Partners III Opportunity Fund stated the following regarding The Liberty SiriusXM Group (NASDAQ:LSXMK) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
"The Liberty SiriusXM Group (NASDAQ:LSXMK) (83% owner of Sirius XM Holdings, Inc. (SIRI)) and CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP) were also top detractors for the quarterly and year-to-date periods. SiriusXM's operating results have been lackluster, and the current elevated investment cycle has clouded otherwise healthy cash flows. In the near term, however, we look forward to the closing of Liberty SiriusXM and SiriusXM's merger that will eliminate a complicated ownership structure as well as potential technical overhangs related to the transaction being finalized (expected in the coming quarter)."
