Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:

Bull of the Day: NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (NYSE: DCM)

Supported by its new customer pricing plan, NTT DoCoMo, the largest wireless service provider in Japan, declared respectable financial results for its first half of fiscal 2009 (ended September 30, 2008). The company's operating income increased 41% year-over-year, which offset a minor reduction in revenue.

DCM currently holds 51.5% share of the Japanese cellular market. The introduction of NTT DoCoMo's discount-priced service plans progressed as customer churn rates improved significantly. Stronger foreign currency rates, with respect to Yen against Dollar, have also raised valuation levels of DCM ADR shares.

Operationally, the company has upgraded 98% of its total coverage area with 3G HSDPA technologies and its emerging 4G LTE network is likely to be installed by 2010. We reiterate our Buy recommendation with a higher valuation target, as our assessment indicates improved financial performance due to technological superiority.

Bear of the Day: Banco Santander Central Hispano, S.A. (NYSE: STD)

We are cutting our rating on Banco Santander to Sell from Buy following the recent surprise announcement of a rights offering. On November 10, 2008, Santander stated that they would be issuing 1.599 billion new shares through a rights offering at a price of 4.50 per share for a total capital increase of 7.2 billion.

As a result, we are reducing our EPADS estimates $2.03 from $2.05 for 2008 and to $1.79 from $2.25 for 2009. The share increase combined with deteriorating economic conditions in Spain and appreciation of the US$ against the will likely depress Santander's share price over the near term.

Santander reported third quarter net earnings of 2.2 billion, up 6% year over year. The rise in nonperforming loans was the only sour note in an otherwise satisfactory performance, especially relative to European peers.
