  • Richard Pzena Is Bullish on This Advertising Business

    By Anh HOANG - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: OMC, IPG, WPPGY

    Richard Pzena, the founder and the Co-CIO of Pzena Investment Management, is currently managing nearly $20 billion in total assets. He focuses on businesses which have recently seen earnings below their normal levels, and are trading at low prices compared to their normalized earnings power. In addition, the business should have tangible downside protection and management should have a sound plan for improving the company’s earnings.

  • A Bargain in Advertising

    By Ted Cooper - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: OMC, IPG, WPPGY

    With the S&P 500 already up 9.5% (including dividends) after the first three months of 2013, bargains are becoming scarce. However, enterprising investors will find opportunity in industries that have not yet been given proper credit by the market.

    Advertising agencies are one such industry. Although some stocks in the industry have risen faster than the market, the industry is comprised of attractive businesses with strong long-term operating more »

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - October 10, 2012 | Tickers: FMCN, LAMR, OMC, IPG, WPPGY

  • The Better Buy In International Media

    By Chad Henage - May 15, 2012 | Tickers: CTCM, TWX, WPPGY

    Anytime the market takes a tumble like it has as of late, is the perfect time to look for stocks that might be undervalued. I regularly use The Motley Fool CAPS Screener to come up with ideas for investments. Recently I ran a screen asking for at least a 2% yield, 10% EPS growth, and at least a 4 star rating on CAPS. I was specifically looking for media related companies that would fit these criteria. The reason I chose media is, if the economy continues its recovery, media producers will benefit. This screen turned up two international companies that I thought looked attractive, CTC Media (NASDAQ: CTCM) and WPP plc (NASDAQ: WPPGY). One is a Russian media outlet, the other is an Irish company that handles media and multiple other businesses. The question is, which one is the better buy today?
