Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (MSO)

CAPS Rating:
**

An integrated media and merchandising company devoted to enriching the changing lives of today's women.

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.

MSO has been a very strong company in the past and will continue to grow in a very positive pattern. Martha Stewart is aligning herself with some very good players...she'll make a tremendous come-back!

This whole company just doesn't make sense. You have a tainted personality whose best days are behind her. The shows and magazines are bound to lose more and more sizzle as time passes. She is known for fancy shmancy stuff and yet trying to sell through crap chains. At best, I see mediocrity he...More

This whole company just doesn't make sense. You have a tainted personality whose best days are behind her. The shows and magazines are bound to lose more and more sizzle as time passes. She is known for fancy shmancy stuff and yet trying to sell through crap chains. At best, I see mediocrity here that should provide easy "banking accuracy" CAPS pickens. At worst, this sucker takes a big tumble toward irrelevancy and bankruptcy over time. No way do I see a meaningful rise any time soon. Not in a recession. Red thumb.

Martha Stewart is an old brand that was based on old print ad archetype. Her name on product lines though are still sellers. Her new addition, Emeril, is the new Wolfgang Puck. Mix the two together and place in a Walmart and you have a new paradigm for a recovering economy where people are looking for a good product at a good price and not a 60's era Blue Light Special ala Kmart on the one hand or pricey Pottery Barn merchandise.

If this new match up gets traction going into a Fall then Xmas season, MSO could very well rock.
