Assured Guaranty (NYSE:AGO): 100% Price Target From J.P. Morgan

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:02:28 GMT

J.P. Morgan is out with another major call on Assured Guaranty (NYSE:AGO) raising their price target to $42 from $28 following earnings announcement out last night. AGO reported op EPS in line with the pre-announced $0.45 per share. Included in its Q was a premium amortization schedule that was well above what JPM had previously modeled. In short, they were not properly accounting for the way FSA's premium revenue is recognized going forward as AGO purchased the company at a large discount to book. As such they are raising their estimates substantially and pushing their price target up to $42, using the same 7x multiple to their new 2011 estimate. With shares trading at half firm's target, they would be aggressive buyers.[More...]

Low PE Stocks With High Earnings Growth Rates

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 14:19:00 GMT

I am being very selective about purchasing common stock. In fact, my Speculative and to a lesser extent my Permanent Portfolio(s) consist of a higher percentage of bonds, preferred stocks and commodities,almost all via ETFs. Rental real estate has been advanced to a higher amount than ever in my holistic portfolio, as well as tax strategies to keep what I earn. Not one who is prone to panic with each day's news, I try to be well read from a variety of viewpoints, especially the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal, a few blogs and Bloomberg, for starters. I also subscribe to a few eclectic financial and economic publications that I may discuss in a future post. I am concerned about inflation, creeping socialism, the geo-political status of world hot spots and the victim mentality that appears to be resonating from a form of class warfare not seen in the United States since the 1870s. That said, there is always a bull market somewhere and I have been toying[More...]

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:34:00 GMT

Recently lost their AAA rating by Moody's I believe AGO is screaming BUY. Statement by Dominic Frederico, President and Chief Executive Officer of Assured Guaranty Ltd.: “We are disheartened by Moody’s downgrade of the debt and insurer financial strength ratings of Assured and its subsidiaries, despite our best efforts to address each and every concern raised by Moody’s during the review process. In a market environment that requires more measured and consistent approaches from regulators, legislators and the rating agencies, Moody’s behavior has been counterproductive. Their repeated and prolonged credit review process has exacerbated investors’ fears and harmed overall financial market credibility which ultimately has created more uncertainty about the value of our product than was necessary. “In particular, we believe that Moody’s concept of franchise value and financial flexibility should not factor as strongly in the credit[More...]
