It's hard to know whether Sony
SNE
or Citigroup
C
is more disappointing with online security issues. They've both been
hacked lately.
On the one hand,
Sony has been
hacked so many times that they almost sigh a breath of relief every time they're
not
hacked. They've lost millions of customers' data and it's possible they never recover, at least in the gaming world. On the other hand,
Citigroup is a bank
, and an unsecured bank website is about as useful as a fart in a spacesuit. It won't kill you, but it won't make for a pleasant experience, either. Let's look at some of the fundamentals. Citi has an EPS of $3.06, which is significantly better than Sony's negative EPS of -$3.23. However, Citi's stock price has been more volatile the last year, while Sony's has been more stable. Of course, Sony has also been on a downward slope for a solid six months. Debt-wise, Sony has its act together, with a reasonable debt-to-free cash flow of 2.24, while Citi's debt ratio is a troubling 10.82. There is also that little blip where Citi announced a giant 10-1 reverse stock split this week. Which stock is worse? It's up to you. Feel free to throw your ideas in the comments and we'll see who wins.
