Gannett Co.

Gannett Co. is among the world’s largest Publishing sector businesses in the world.  Gannett Co.’s employees generate $1.136B in profits on $8.022B of revenue.  Global output in the Publishing business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Gannett Co. is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Publishing segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Gannett Co.’s ticker symbol GCI has recently been trading near $54.81 a share.  The Gannett Co. corporate headquarters in Mclean VA predicts Publishing profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $12.862B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.39, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Gannett Co. moves less aggressively.
