Pearson PLC (ADR) (PSO)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a global publishing company with its principal operations in the education, business information and consumer publishing markets.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Great company, Great product, Employees love working there (have placed 5 there so far) and as the digital age makes its way into more schools, Pearson will be on the forefront.

they also do some corporate and higher level education as well, but their focus is between the K-12.

I think this could be undervalued, I know we are moving away from paper, but education is big, the CFA is big, and getting bigger, so I see steady revenue here

They have a strong potential for philantropy and already have a big hand in it. While this doesn't directly relate to revenue, they are still capable of transforming education, and they way we get our news. They are going to spend money in various endeavours, without a major new product or service I don't see anyone making money off their stock, but they will continue to run things from behind the scenes.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
