Starz is fresh off its separation from Lionsgate and it's betting it can take on the likes of Netflix and HBO. The entertainment company added 530,000 streaming customers in the fourth quarter.

Starz reversed recent U.S. subscriber losses in its fiscal fourth quarter, but disclosed a restructuring charge of $177.4 million due to a “reassessment” of its content portfolio.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia, where Lionsgate is officially headquartered, has approved full separation of the company's studio business from Starz, the final step required to complete the split that's been in the works for years. Shareholders approved the operation last month.

Shareholders of Lions Gate Entertainment , the studio behind the "John Wick" movie franchise, have approved a plan to split its film and TV studio from the Starz business, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

Increased volatility and markets in or near bear territory has not deterred some insider buyers from continuing to build their stakes in their favorite stocks.

Since the beginning of April, market volatility has spiked, due largely to uncertainty about inflation, interest rates, upcoming quarterly reports, and mostly the impact of tariffs and a global trade war on the U.S.

Lions Gate Entertainment is set for a separation from Starz in April, potentially paving the way for a high-premium acquisition. The company's content library, with over $950 million in revenue, remains its biggest asset and attraction for potential buyers. Despite better-than-expected earnings, Lions Gate struggles with cash flow deficits and lacks a clear film strategy, especially post-Borderlands debacle.

Lionsgate's television production saw revenue and profit surge, driven by an increase in episodic deliveries, licensing of library content and an ongoing rebound from Hollywood strikes. Motion pictures continued softer although that has turned around in the current quarter.

Lionsgate today filed an amended registration statement incorporating the latest comments fomr the Security and Exchange Commission, moving it a step closer to the planned separation of Lionsgate Studios and Starz.
