TheStreet Ratings rates Jazz as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its notable return on equity, robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance and impressive record of earnings per share growth. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results. You can view the full Jazz Ratings Report.
