How do you feel about SSTK?

$SSTK call me crazy but like I said last week it looks to me like there is some serious accumulation. I'm hoping the buybacks have started.

$SSTK Lol! Market cap is now approaching one year of free cash flow. This is truly nuts! I love it! I've been investing a long time and this may be the most obviously insanely priced stock to the downside I've ever seen. I guess I'll keep buying! It should not be trading in sympathy with $GETY as it simply doesn't have the debt Getty does. Shutterstock can pay off all its debt in about 2 1/2 years and that's without using its cash on hand. $GETY is likely to declare bankruptcy soon. I do hope Shutterstock at least announces a little buyback at these prices when they announce the results of the strategic review...

$SSTK I just genuinely want to say thank you to whoever is selling at these prices. I'm not sure what difficulties you have going on in your life where you would need to dump shares of a massively profitable company at these prices but thank you!

$SSTK Debt is $274M, unsecured, due 2029, costing about $19M a year. Cash flow can retire it. This is not Getty. A company preparing to fade doesn't act like this. Shutterstock is hiring across data licensing, AI products and GIPHY, running ads on Instagram and Facebook, and promoting its Studios business on LinkedIn. The assets are real: a global editorial wire, GIPHY across Meta's apps, Envato, Pond5, TurboSquid and a Meitu stake. And on Sept 29 the Third Circuit ruled that training AI to compete with the original isn't fair use. Strategic review pending. I'm buying the assets, not the headlines.

$SSTK I’ve done the math and if Shutterstock keeps declining at its current rate and I keep buying at my current rate, I will own 137% of the company in 8 months.

$SSTK There are very few on this board. sstk got removed from indices and indexes like Russell and so on because of the merger. then no dividend so all dividend funds and portfolios sold...there are no buyers that's why it's so cheap just give it time. I'm accumulating buying when I can and cost averaging. 2x free cash flow is way too good to pass up on.

$SSTK This is a strong buy at less than .5X book value and a PE of 1. They will absorb customers from Getty, in their bankruptcy. Strong Buy. Near-term PT: $10 per share.

$SSTK this is such low volume everyday that it's sort of depressing that nobody's coming in and buying it but it's just following g e t y bankruptcy filing and it should be seen in my opinion as good news that they never did merge with that company because at least now they have positive cash flow and not that much debt but still nobody's coming in and buying any

$SSTK Sorry but why does there seem to be some consensus here that SSTK will buyback shares? Given SSTK suspended their dividend and explicitly stated they’re focusing on being financially flexible, they won’t want to buyback shares and probably aren’t allowed to. Terms of covenants usually prevent distributing dividends and buying back shares during a liquidity risk. SSTK does have debt. 2 years of FCF would cover it but it’s not guaranteed (which is kind of the whole premise of the bear case). That’s why management wants to hoard cash. They do have a remaining $30 million available on an outstanding repurchase program but they won’t use it, the corporate shift into survival mode implies credit obligations and operational costs come first. Why would capital returns for investors be a priority? GETY just basically collapsed ffs. Wasting money on buybacks now, even if they could, would do nothing to convince the market they’re being sensible with cash during a short term crisis.

$SSTK Hold tight here. This Company is fundamentally worth $10 per share, minimum. Just wait until they provide updates and earnings.

$SSTK here we are again today off and on for about two weeks. it looks like somebody is accumulating other than me, maybe share repurchases have finally started. this is exciting!!! with some luck Shutterstock will repurchase a minimum of four million shares, my goal or hope is repurchasing eight million shares by this time next year ..... good luck longs

$SSTK Oringer is selling his Colorado townhouse at an asking price of $49 million (purchased for ≈ $25 million in 2021). Will be a nice ROI for him. Now if he could do the same for the company, that’d be great 👍

$SSTK The European Commission has opened a targeted consultation specifically on copyright and generative AI, with a dedicated section on “licensing and enforcement of copyright and related rights.” The Commission says it is evaluating whether the EU’s existing copyright framework should be reinforced because of AI and other technological changes. The consultation runs through November 3, 2026. The significance is that one of the world’s largest regulatory markets is explicitly examining the mechanics of licensing protected works for generative AI, rather than treating unrestricted training as a settled entitlement. That fits Shutterstock’s positioning around licensed, rights-cleared, traceable datasets.

$SSTK My short order at the open got filled at 4.16. Looking forward to riding this down once again.

$SSTK I expect this to be up tomorrow. Ultimately, this has the making of $GETY , hence why I'm not planning to cover my short position on this.

$SSTK $GETY Everyone involved in this failed merger should never be hired for any job within or near any related industry ever again. Disagree? Then your probably one of them or related to one of them. Idiots and crooks. Only the shorts or those who made money on this tanking are happy. Great job Getty & Shutter, great job.

$SSTK this company needs to say something they need to put out a press release on what their plan is otherwise the stock is going to keep falling into Oblivion

$SSTK SSTK has a recent Price to Earnings ratio of 1.80. Do not be fooled here, short-term. 2026 Year-End Price Target: $11 per share. Strong Buy.

$SSTK I’m new here. Start with 100 share today. I think it might go down more but who knows.
Golferhack12
$SSTK I think the company was expecting to get $100 million breakup fee which I guess they're not going to get since Getty's filing bankruptcy there's a lot of reasons why this stock is down mostly they haven't said nothing but a hundred million dollars isn't petty cash either
