NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CBS Corp. 'B'
shares (NYSE: CBS: $29) have been
picked by S&P Capital IQ as its Focus Stock of the Week.
CBS carries S&P Capital IQ's highest investment recommendation
of 5-STARS, or Strong Buy.
"While CBS remains a likely strong beneficiary of an expected
U.S. macroeconomic rebound, we believe a strong senior management
team has made concrete early progress toward diversifying its
revenue base," said Tuna Amobi, equity analyst at S&P Capital
IQ. "For example, the company recently began to aggressively
cultivate and exploit higher-margin, non-traditional revenue
streams such as through emerging platforms; retransmission consent
and reverse compensation; digital local media; and international
syndication."
