RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 77, is a strong buy recommendation based on Metropole Television's financial characteristics.

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 23, is a sell recommendation for growth and momentum investors. The good news from the invested capital side is surprising. A company with disappointing revenues, profits, and disappointed shareholders typically doesn't invest above average. Overall, the growth momentum for Metropole Television is thus negative.
