My Connection to Hollywall
Let me briefly share why this story resonates with me. As a Western New York native, I studied music at the University at Buffalo and SUNY Fredonia, schools known for their strong music programs. Over 20 years of performing and teaching, I’ve grown to appreciate companies that value music’s artistic and economic potential. Hollywall’s focus on leveraging its music catalog while embracing modern strategies excites me as both a musician and an investor. Covering HWAL on my podcast feels like a natural extension of my passion for music and its future.
Hollywall’s Presentation at BFCVC: Key Highlights
Roxie Green, representing Hollywall Entertainment, delivered a compelling presentation at BFCVC, showcasing the company’s vision to capitalize on its music and entertainment assets. Hollywall, traded under the ticker HWAL, is a diversified entertainment company focused on music, merchandise, and production. The centerpiece of Green’s talk was Hollywall’s music catalog—a valuable asset driving growth in the evolving music industry.
1. The Power of the Music Catalog
Hollywall owns a vast music catalog comprising thousands of master recordings, publishing rights, and licenses across genres like pop, rock, R&B, and country. Green emphasized that this catalog generates recurring revenue through licensing, streaming, sync deals (music used in film, TV, and commercials), and royalties. The catalog includes works from iconic artists and labels, positioning Hollywall as a leader in a market where music IP is increasingly valuable.
- Streaming and Digital Platforms: With global music streaming revenue projected to exceed $40 billion by 2030, Hollywall is poised to monetize its catalog on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Green highlighted partnerships with digital distributors to reach global audiences.
- Sync Licensing: The demand for music in film, TV, and advertising is growing. Hollywall’s diverse catalog secures high-value sync deals, ensuring steady income.
- Nostalgia and Evergreen Appeal: The catalog’s timeless hits appeal to older fans and younger listeners discovering classics on platforms like TikTok.
Green stressed that the catalog is a dynamic engine for growth, continually generating revenue as music consumption evolves.
2. Diversified Revenue Streams
Hollywall’s business model extends beyond its music catalog, incorporating merchandise and production acquisitions. Green outlined key strategies driving growth:
- NIL-Driven Merchandise: Hollywall is leveraging Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights to launch hundreds of music merchandise products, from apparel to collectibles. This capitalizes on fan loyalty and the growing market for artist-branded goods, boosting sales.
- Acquisitions in Production: The company is on a mission to acquire audio-video production and staging companies, as well as music composing and production houses. These acquisitions will enhance Hollywall’s ability to create and distribute content, strengthening its market position.
- Live Events: Hollywall plans to host concerts and festivals featuring artists from its catalog, tapping into the resurgence of live music. J.P. Morgan’s insights support this strategy, noting positive growth in the live entertainment sector. For example, in July 2023, J.P. Morgan maintained an “Overweight” recommendation for Live Nation Entertainment(LYV), with a price target suggesting a 14.18% upside, reflecting optimism in live events. Additionally, J.P. Morgan highlights digital transformation in entertainment, emphasizing innovations like digital wallets and virtual accounts that enhance guest experiences and drive revenue.
These initiatives create a diversified, scalable platform for growth.
3. Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships
Green announced Hollywall’s aggressive acquisition strategy to expand its catalog and production capabilities. The company is targeting undervalued music assets, emerging artists, and production firms to bolster its portfolio. Partnerships with major labels, streaming platforms, and production companies further enhance Hollywall’s ability to scale and penetrate new markets.
Why Hollywall Is Bullish
Several factors make HWAL a bullish investment, as highlighted in Green’s presentation:
- Undervalued Asset Play: The music catalog’s value is likely understated on Hollywall’s balance sheet. As the market recognizes the revenue potential of music IP, HWAL’s stock could see significant appreciation.
- Scalable Business Model: Hollywall’s focus on music, merchandise, and production creates a platform that adapts to industry trends, from streaming to live events.
- Growing Music Industry: The global music industry is thriving, with recorded music revenue reaching $28.6 billion in 2024, driven by streaming and vinyl sales. Hollywall’s catalog and merchandise strategy position it to capitalize on this growth.
- Low Market Cap, High Upside: As a microcap stock, HWAL’s low market capitalization offers substantial upside potential if the company executes its growth plan.
- Management’s Vision: Green’s presentation conveyed confidence in Hollywall’s leadership, which has a track record of navigating entertainment deals.
