1 Company You Need to Watch Today

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series in which consumer goods editor/analyst Austin Smith discusses topics across the investing world.

In today's edition, Austin talks about a company that investors need to put on their watchlist today: Coinstar. This company has grown way beyond its namesake kiosks as its Redbox service has eclipsed its coin-counting service in terms of scale and profitability. But the company isn't content to rest on its laurels; it's inking deals with Verizon to stream content and venturing into selling refurbished electronics and gourmet coffee. It's that sort of forward vision we like to invest in here at The Motley Fool, and just one of the reasons you should watch this company today.

While investing in the streaming arena is certainly exciting, with so many players it can be hard to pin down the winners. That's not the case with one stock our chief investment officer has dubbed: "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012." This emerging-market retailer is the biggest fish in a growing pond of profits, and we believe it will handsomely reward investors who get in in the early stages of this growth story.
