John Wiley and Sons A (JW.A)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a publisher of print and electronic products, providing content and solutions to customers worldwide.

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 members 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.

Hold for dividend income, not price appreciation. Long term 10 year performance has been 300%

Very high free cash flow generation, and very consistent. Very high ROIC. It's selling at about a 30% discount to the present value of future FCFs. It's a very stable company in a very stable sector (medical & scientific journals, "For Dummies" books, etc.). A company of this quality and consistency should not be selling at this big a discount.

Beat this Stock

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!
