Blockbuster, Inc. (BBI)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a global provider of in-home rental and retail movie and game entertainment, with over 8,000 stores in the United States, its territories and 22 other countries.

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.

I signed up just to write this pitch. People who say that the B&M model of BBI is outdated simply have not been into a blockbuster lately. It's near impossible to get a new release on the weekends (a problem that Keyes is aware of).

For those who think that online movies are the new r...More

LOL thanks Blockbuster you made my day,
your plan isn't actually all that crazy in one sense as actually having merchandise to sell would give your remaining customers an actual reason to go to your stores.

The ONLY problem is that you don't have nearly enough money/equity to buy C...More

I think that this company is going to flounder for a while, but Keyes should turn it around.

I went to BB to get an older movie I really wanted to see that night. The website said they had it, but when I got there, they didn't. The store looked like as messy as a frickin' K-Mart. There were all these $0.99 stickers and signs with crap about 5 days. Then there were 3-4 employees who were clueless as to how to efficiently manage customers. Just seems like a bad model now.

Blockbuster's turnaround appears to be real. It should turn quite profitable this Christmas season due to the increasing number of consumers buying HD flatscreen televisions and the move to HD formats in February 2009. Blockbuster is in a unique position to capitalize on the move to HD due to the content requirements of Blue-Ray (cable companies, phone companies, and satellite unable to offer equivalent content as significant content, especially new releases), and downloading such purchased content from the internet is nearly impossible.

BBI, whether they buy CC (Circuit City) or not, will capitalize on the HD new movie sales, and will be very profitable into next year.
