NEW YORK, June 12, 2000 (PRIMEZONE) -- Four leading analysts and top management from thirty-two sector firms examine the Business Services sector in the latest issue of The Wall Street Transcript (212/952-7433) or http://www.twst.com/info/info110.htm
In a vital review of this sector for investors and industry professionals, this valuable 142-page Special Issue features:
1) Canadian Broadcasting & Media Stocks - In an in-depth (3,800 words) Analyst Interview, Megan Anderson at Yorkton Securities, discusses the outlook for the sector, including increased newspaper competition, Canadian dot-coms, regulation at the CRTC, and shares specific stock recommendations.
Anderson considers Torstar (Toronto:TS_b.TO) as a good value. "We have a buy on the stock. It's trading around $16-$17. We have a NAV of $22, but that's excluding any value given for their private new media assets, which are significant. Amongst almost all Canadian media stories, I would suggest that Torstar is one of the leaders in terms of initiatives in this area, for which no credit is given in the stock."
