Gannett's stock higher today on upgrade

GCI joined shares of other newspaper publishers rising after a Credit Suisse analyst said the industry's continuing revenue struggles are likely cyclical. But a broad recovery may not begin until late 2008, "or whenever the housing market firms up,'' the Associated Press says.

Updated at 8:11 p.m. ET: The rally in Gannett shares fizzled; they closed at $35.40, down a smidge. But more worrisome: Late in the day, shares traded at another new low for the decade -- $34.89 -- before recovering at markets' close.

  1. Now it's down 45 cents / share after Goldman Sachs not so uplifting projection, and GCI will likely close at or below $35. By my calculations, another 10-year low.
