Why Quad/Graphics Soared 24% This Week
Shares of Quad/Graphics (NYSE: QUAD) had risen 23.9% this week as of 2:41 p.m. EDT Friday, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Quad can probably safely be called a deep value stock, having been beaten down due to the company's debt load and pessimism over the long-term future of its physical print business. However, its fourth-quarter earnings report, released this week, showed solid profitability thanks to the pivot to become a marketing and advertising agency service provider.
You might not have heard of Quad, a company with a market cap of just $276 million. Furthermore, there are a grand total of zero Wall Street analysts covering the company. However, underfollowed small caps can sometimes yield the biggest surprise outperformance, given their lack of attention and often cheap valuations.
