John Wiley & Sons: (Still) Less Compelling Than Treasuries [Seeking Alpha]
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (WLY)
Company Research
Source: Seeking Alpha
Play 8min Summary Despite some financial improvements, I remain cautious on John Wiley & Sons due to high valuation and increased long-term debt, favoring 10-Year Treasuries instead. The company's operating income improved significantly, but cash from operations remains negative, and interest expenses are rising, indicating financial instability. The stock's current valuation at 1.49 times sales is high, and market expectations of 11.5% growth are overly optimistic. Treasury Notes offer more predictable income and capital gain potential, making them a safer investment compared to John Wiley & Sons at current levels. J Studios It's been about four months since I suggested that John Wiley & Sons ( NYSE: WLYB ) was less compelling than Treasury Notes. Since then, the shares have returned about 28.7% against a gain of about 8% for the S&P 500. My caution has cost me yet again, apparently. The company has posted financial results since, so it's time to review the name yet
