Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SMI) is a Chinese semiconductor foundry company with multiple integrated chip wafer fabrication plants. SMI is the largest foundry company in China (third largest worldwide) and operates multiple plants and fabrication (fab) lines. Strategic alliances with Chartered, Toshiba, Infineon (IFX), Fujitsu, Motorola (MOT), Elpida and IMEC have provided access to intellectual property (IP) associated with a variety of semiconductor process technologies. We remain concerned regarding operational performance in the near-term given severe price declines in DRAM. The firm has announced they plan to exit the DRAM business. We[More...]

Wanna Pick Up CHIC?

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:47:00 GMT

Eric Fox reports here that Charlotte Russe (NASDAQ: CHIC) has no debt. While it's true that this is what the balance sheet says, in reality almost 70% of this company's assets are financed by debt. How do I figure?We discussed the importance of considering the effect of operating leases here. In essence, rather than buying its locations, CHIC has financed them, by agreeing to non-cancelable operating leases on them. If instead CHIC had bought their locations and used debt to finance them, you wouldn't ignore the debt would you? Essentially, this is the same[More...]

EOG Resources, Inc.'s (EOG) quarterly results came in better-than-expected, reflecting increased volumes and improved commodity-price realizations, partly offset by higher costs. Domestic natural gas production grew 19%, while liquids volumes rose 51% over last year. Additionally, the company raised its quarterly dividend by 12.5% to $0.135 a share. With robust growth from most of its core areas, EOG remains on track to achieve production growth of 15% this year and approximately 14% over the following two years. We maintain our Buy recommendation on EOG shares and see the stock as a core holding in the large-cap exploration and production (E&P) space. EOG is targeting 2008 production growth of approximately 15%. Driving this growth will be the company's U.S. operations, estimated to grow approximately 23% year-over-year all organic. The U.S. growth will mainly come from[More...]

Not All Financials are Poision

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:38:00 GMT

I am overweight financials, but I don’t own any banks, or entities where the primary business is credit risk. I own a bunch of insurers, because they are cheap. The first one to report came Monday after the close, Reinsurance Group of America. They beat handily on both earnings and revenues. They are the only pure play life reinsurer remaining. Competition is reduced because Scottish Re is for all practical purposes dead. They make their money primarily off of mortality, charging more to reinsure lives than they expect to pay in death claims.This is a nice niche business, and a quality competitor in the space — well-respected by all. And, you can buy it for less than book value. Well, at least you could prior to the close on Monday.Here are the financial stocks in my[More...]
