August 12, 2008 | By Eric Fox he bunny ears aren't as perky as they normally are after Playboy Enterprises (NYSE:PLA) reported a $0.06 loss on revenues of $73.4 million last week for the second quarter of 2008. This was lower than the consensus estimate of a $0.05 gain and revenues of $81.7 million. The poor earnings and lagging performance beg to ask how much more can investors take from this formerly hopping company, and is it time for someone outside the Hefner family to take charge? The case against Playboy is fairly simple - the stock has done horribly since the 1990s. The last tim...

    Hyatt and Ancestry.com IPOs: Beginners' luck?

    Filed under: Deals, NYSE Euronext (NYX), News Corp'B' (NWS), Initial public offerings

    <>The IPO market has been pretty slow for the past two years due to the effects of a subprime mortgage crisis that turned into a credit crisis that turned into a worldwide financial crisis and recession. Nonetheless, two companies made their debuts Thursday -- one on the NYSE (NYSE: NYX), the other on the NASDAQ -- and they nailed it. Hyatt Hotels (NYSE: H) gave its investors a 12% gain on its first Big Board trading day, and Ancestry.com (NASDAQ: ACOM) switched those digits, jumping 21% in its first day of t...

    Marge Simpson strips for Playboy -- the beginning of a turnaround?
    Shares of Playboy Enterprises (NYSE: PLA) have lost more than 75% of their value over the past few years as the company looks to battle declining circulation for its legendary magazine and lower-price internet competition in the porn market.

    Well look out, competitors, Playboy has found the answer: Marge Simpson. On Friday, the November issue of Playboy will hit newstands with Marge Simpson gracing cover. Playboy editorial director Jimmy Jellinek told The Los Angeles Times that "It's a very, very racy pictorial, with implied nudity at the very least. Whether or not you see more ... well, you...

    Playboy's second quarter: Not centerfold material

    Filed under: Earnings reports, Magazines

    Playboy Enterprises (NYSE: PLA) is still around? I was surprised to hear that it was, according to a news article from Reuters detailing the struggling media company's second-quarter results. Unfortunately, Playboy remains a puzzle. How in the world is management going to turn the ship around?

    <>Playboy's top line fell by 15%. The bottom line booked a loss of 26 cents per share. Expectations were for 23 cents per share to be lost. In the year-ago period, Playboy lost 10 cents per share. I think it's plainly obvious that Playboy just isn't the force it o...

    Playboy (PLA): Speculative bet on the bunny Graphic_rating_buy PLA

    "Playboy Enterprises (NYSE: PLA) is a speculative stock, with plenty of potential but also downside risk," suggests Alex Green. In The Oxford Club, he looks at the firm's turnaround potential.

    "Yes, Playboy's publishing empire is a big money loser. But it still has one of the most recognized brands in the world. The rabbit head logo generates more than $1 billion in licensing fees annually.

    "When you consider that Playboy Enterprises has a market capitalization of a little over $100 million, you begin to see how undervalued this stock is.
