CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a provider of marketing communications services to customers globally.

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.

MDCA is basically a financier of advertising and marketing agencies. This is not dissimilar to the UAM or the Affiliated Managers model of buying investment management companies.

MDCA is basically a financier of advertising and marketing agencies. This is not dissimilar to the UAM or the Affiliated Managers model of buying investment management companies. It has recently stepped up its ownership in its largest, Crispin Porter and Bogusky to 77% ownership from 50%. Crispin Porter & Bogusky is one of the largest and hottest independent ad agencies in the US with a client list that includes Burger King, Volkswagen, Nike running shoes and Domino's Pizza. CPB (alone) should generate over $135mm in revenue and $30mm in EBITDA in 2008, with revenue and EBITDA both growing by around 25% in 2008. MDC's ownership stake of CPB could be worth more than the $250mm equity market capitalization of MDCA today.

The company's balance sheet has a significant amount of debt which is being paid down. Debt covenants preclude the company from undertaking share repurchases at this time but free cash flow is becoming substantial.

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!
