CBS Corp (CBS)

CAPS Rating:
**

A mass media company with operations in the following segments: Television, Radio, Outdoor and Publishing.

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 players 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.

I agree that CBS is extremely shareholder friendly. The company has been bending over backward to supply shareholders with a nice dividend payout. And I do love dividends.

But...

I have to look at CBS in the context of its previous partner in crime -- namely, Viacom. When old-Viacom decided to s...More

I plan on banking loads of accuracy on this one as, over time, it becomes more and more and more irrelevant.

Love the CSI series and all its spinoffs. It's addicting and soon investors will be addicted to its equity shares as well.

No significant cable TV assets and the broadcast network is losing viewers. Cost-cutting measures like running more reality shows or outsourcing news coverage will just cause more viewers to change the channel. Traditional radio assets are more of a liability than an asset. Publishing unit is... just there.. (A textbook/educational publishing division would help the returns here immensely.) Outdoor advertising is a company jewel, I guess, but outdoor advertising revenues will rise and fall with the economy as a whole. Basically there's nothing here to really recommend or get excited about. If all this stuff was so great why didn't Viacom hang on to it?

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