Starz Entertainment is based in Santa Monica, California and is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker STRZ. The SEC classifies its business as motion picture & video tape production. In the fiscal year to 31 March 2025, it reported revenue of $1.37bn and a net loss of $211.2m. At that date it held total assets of $2.17bn and shareholders' equity of $766.4m.
