ACCESSWIRE - Wed Jan 28, 9:14AM CST
New York, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 28, 2015 / Independent film production and distribution company Hannover House, Inc. (OTC:HHSE) has once again topped the year-end list as the best valued entertainment stock for all U.S. based companies.

The stock chart was prepared by Graham Financial Services, Inc., and is based on the December 31, 2014 closing share price for the eleven full-service, publicly-traded entertainment companies. Stock pricing and earnings data was obtained through Yahoo! Finance. Other companies whose stocks are considered value buys include Viacom (Paramount), Starz, Time Warner and Comcast (NBC-Universal). Stocks with trading prices above the industry price-earnings average include: Lionsgate, Disney, Sony and News Corporation (Fox). Indie distributors E-One and RLJ Entertainment posted losses and as such, a price-earnings formula could not be determined.
