Comcoa Inc
Article Abstract:
Comcoa Inc continues to thrive on budget-conscious householders in a recessionary economy with its 12th qtr of increased earnings out of 13 qtrs. Since 1988, the franchisee of Rent-A-Center of America Inc has posted a 1500% rise in profits, 50%-plus returns on equity and quadrupled revenues. Its stock price, however, has not reflected this spectacular growth because of the market's doubts regarding the company's ability to perform well when the economy and job market improves.
