NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Grupo Televisaa has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from Buy to Hold with a ratings score of C+. aTheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate GRUPO TELEVISA SAB (TV) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity."

Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows: TV, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 7.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 0.9%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share. Even though the current debt-to-equity ratio is 1.11, it is still below the industry average, suggesting that this level of debt is acceptable within the Media industry. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 1.49 is sturdy. The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Media industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 112.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $178.87 million to -$21.67 million. Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. When compared to other companies in the Media industry and the overall market, GRUPO TELEVISA SAB's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
