The E.W. Scripps Company (SSP) is currently trading at $2.16. The stock presents a bearish profile across the board: technical indicators signal "Strong Sell" and our fundamental models agree with a "Sell" rating. Notable factors include a concerning Altman Z-Score in the distress zone, a weak Piotroski F-Score of 1/9, negative Return on Equity, a bearish Death Cross on the long-term moving averages and bearish long-term moving average alignment. The stock looks compelling on valuation, with multiples below sector averages across P/E, P/B, and EV/EBITDA.
