Warner Music Group Corp. (WMG)

CAPS Rating:
*

A music company. The Company is composed of two businesses: Recorded Music and Music Publishing.

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.

Now that Napster is gone, music piracy is a thing of the past. They should now have no problem selling overpriced CDs to the gullible youth market!

There's nothing to like about this stock, and nothing that would justify the huge rally it has sustained so far this year. The company operates in 2 industries - Recording and Publishing - both of which are dying. Their business is way too cyclical and will continue to suffer in a bad economy. Th...More

A PE of 344 is all I really need to say.





But I'll say more, negative earnings AND negative equity/book value/net asset value.

i got burned to the tune of an unjustified 25% bounce when this one was $5 per share. while it is still pretty cheap overall, I think the downside is still looming large here. I can't find a reason to like this stock. lets hope that the market wakes up and sends this where it truly belongs....straight down the chute

Record companies are rapidly becoming obsolete. With digital technology and the internet, musicians can bypass the middleman and distribute their music digitally via internet.

I'm sure a lot can be said about this company, but I simply fail to see how they could possibly be worth 344 times earnings.
