The E.W. Scripps Company (SSP) is currently trading at $3.30. The stock presents a mixed profile: our models indicate a Buy for technical indicators, while underlying fundamentals flash a Sell. Notable factors include a concerning Altman Z-Score in the distress zone, a weak Piotroski F-Score of 1/9, negative Return on Equity and a bearish Death Cross on the long-term moving averages. The stock looks compelling on valuation, with multiples below sector averages across P/E, P/B, and EV/EBITDA.
