    The media conglomerate is down about 40 percent in the past year. The company has been unprofitable, and revenues only rose a scant 0.1 percent. A slowing economy will likely continue to weigh on advertising spending, which will further impact media companies.

    Nevertheless, shares have gone from 26 times earnings last year to under 10 times forward earnings now, and look like they’re worth watching as a rebound play.
    Action to take: For now, interested investors should wait for better pricing. Shares have had a steep slide in recent weeks, and may not have bottomed out quite yet. Once they do, there will be plenty of time to buy shares.
