CAPS Rating:

An entertainment company with operations in eight industry segments, including Filmed Entertainment, Television, Cable Network Programming, Direct Broadcast Satellite Television, Magazines and Inserts, Newspapers, Book Publishing and Other.

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.

How is this stock around 52 week lows in what will be an epic presidential campaign year? If normal facets of advertising slow, Newscorp (and the bunch) are saved by presidential spending.

Financially, its estimated 2008 EPS is 21.6% over 2007. Its slightly-above-average P/E of 20.6x (2007) is expected to decline to 16.9x (2008E), just like its competitors' P/E ratios are also expected to decline. News Corp should remain priced at a slight premium (CBS, Disney, Time Warner, and Viacom average 15.2x for 2008E), but I believe its high expected growth is the reason and provides enough justification. The company is also repurchasing shares, always a good sign. I have a 12-month target price of $26.50, 18.3% higher than today. Including an expected dividend yield of 0.5%, the total expected return is 18.8%. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
