Commentary

BUY: RENT-A-CENTER INC. (RCII) Start Price: $22.47 Points: +32.83 Created: 02/21/2010 I have been accumulating Rent a Center (RCII) as an extreme value buy. A PEG ration of 1.07 with Price to Sales and Price to Book both below 1. These metrics make a RCII a stron buy on a quantitative basis. The economy certainly bolsters the outlook for RCII as well. With household budgets and credit tightening, consumers may be more inclined to rent major appliances as the recession lingers. The longer the US economy struggles, the better RCII will perform.
