Valassis Communications, Inc. (VCI)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company provides a wide range of marketing products and services to a variety of premier manufacturers, direct marketers, retailers, franchisees and other advertisers.

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.

Earnings are up, and should continue to rise.





Economies of scale with new acquisitions.





Great new in-store products.





Keeping bread and butter inserts while following and creating new market trends and keeping up with today's new age of technology.

Newspaper ad inserts are going down with the newspapers. Most recent growth is from an acquisition.

I believe they will come out of there slump,they really would do better with new CEO one that has not given himself raises and his managers rasies and benifits while cutting wages and benifits to employees,The Advo take over blunder really hurt but to take that then change the name of a known company to Red Plum might as well just started a new business,I believe they will come out of the slump but faster if they would change CEO's toa person more like the old CEO they had that had a head on his sholders and cared about his employees instead of his self.not a most 100 best company to work for by far any more and that can hurt when employees are not keep happy
