CBS Corp (NYSE:CBS)

Big media wins. Period. Internet - Netflix, Youtube, etc. will only lead to MORE ways for them to make money.

This company is a syndication machine. They may not have the absolute best programming, but they're consistent ok.

It's huge library will serve it well in the streaming market.

I like to see the dividend, and the recent downhill is a good sign. Also, just seeing its biggest competitor: NWS mirroring the steadily falling S&P 500, I think that CBS is going to have a mighty fine return, while NWS is about to hit the dust. Plus, I watch channel one news everyday. That's a news network for kids. I know for a fact that my school pays for it, and that schools around the country pay for it. Boo Yah! Money! Moo lah! Whatever you want to call it! CBS is going to be a nice steady returner.

This stock has been down the last month or so but that isn't an indication of the overall trend. CBS once again has the highest ratings in the US and will rebound. Buy now because it is cheaper than a month ago.

projected earnings 12mo

CBS has weathered the storm, as declines in ad revenue are slowing across the board. The company is well diversified, and they've arguably made more headway into the internet than their competitors. Nice dividend as well.

Well run Company. These guys going strong in a weak Ad market.

they are a corparation who stocks will rise during sports season

The only

outher news sorce

is

G.E.

Content is king! if advertisers don't pay for it then you will see it in some type of pay to view form. Also, 2010 will bring 4 movies to be released. The funds to make these have already been spent, so revenues from these films will mostly add to the bottom line. They just need to make th adjustment of salaries both to executives and to the shows/actors. Between the CEO Leslie/ Rhe Late Show and Judge Judy alone is almost 20 cents a share.

employee's like David Letterman at the top of their list bothers me

went with a russian company ctcm-now going with an american company with same mass media operations. of all the media operations cbs is making money/being run well-plus jim cramer does not like it-short sighted/short term seller. this is a 3/5 year buy & hold & we can have some fun seeing who performs better-ctcm or cbs, jim cramer (overrated) or traderpat9!!!!!!! fool on

Buying on the cheap

Their current dividend payout ratio is over 100%. Yes, I really did mean to write > 100% payout ratio.

All this is based on the comapnies estimated EPS for 2009 of $0.99, which will likely come down even further. I'm not sure if you realize that this industry is based mainly on advertising revenue, which if you haven't noticed lately has been getting absolutely crushed. Thus, CBS's current 109% payout ratio is likely to become even larger before all is said and done.

This leads me to believe they will have to substantially reduce their dividend, which is a bad omen for companies in this "safety first/ high dividend" investing environment.

This stock be coming down some more, just give it time...

an icononic american franchise with large free cash flow. cash flow should support dividend and enable company to meet stiff competition from the likes of twc.

Their content is right for the people, their delivery method is also smart with the CNet and TV.com purchases, but the traditional performance which S&P expects is not something they will achieve.

Lots of cash.

bought stock at great price and it continues to impress me.

Lots of room to bouce back
