Today I’m reviewing a Small-Cap U.S.-based investment publishing company.
The company’s name is Value Line, Inc. It’s trading ticker symbol is VALU. Â
Value Line, Inc. produces investment periodicals based on underlying research and making available copyright data, including ranking system and other information, to third parties under written agreements.
The company offers comprehensive research services. It also provides niche newsletters comprising that offer information on a less comprehensive basis.
Further, it places advertising on behalf of the company’s publications; and provides subscription fulfillment and subscriber relation services.Â
The company serves individual and professional investors, as well as institutions, including municipal and university libraries, and investment firms.Â
Value Line, Inc. was founded in 1931 and is headquartered in New York, New York. Value Line, Inc. is a subsidiary of Arnold Bernhard & Co, Inc.Â
I use three key data points gauge the value of any dividend equity or fund like Value Line, Inc.:Â
(1) Price
(2) Dividends
(3) Returns
After those three, four more keys will finally unlock an equity or fund in which to invest.Â
No matter what, it’s the first three primary traits that best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money.Â
VALU Price
Value Line’s price was $20.20 per share at Friday’s market close. A year ago its price was $18.30 for a gain of $1.90 per share in the past year. Â
Assuming Value Line’s price will continue to trade in the range of $16.00 to $23.00 next year, its price could grow another $1.90 from $20.20 to $22.10 by mid- May 2019.Â
