We continue to see EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) shares as a core holding in the large-cap exploration and production (E&P) space for the company?s demonstrated ability to achieve consistent production growth, primarily through organic means. EOG?s strong positions in Texas Barnett Shale and North Dakota?s Bakken plays provide it with a multi-year inventory of development drilling opportunities. EOG has a very strong organic production-growth profile, with volumes expected to increase by approximately 15% in 2008. We are keeping our recommendation, price objective and estimates unchanged at this stage. Long-term production-growth visibility has significantly improved following recent discoveries, and the management is guiding towards annual growth of approximately 14% in the 2009-2010 period. Outside North America, EOG has taken modest[More...]

Hallmark Finc'l Slogs Through

Hallmark Financial Services, Inc.?s (HALL) core 2Q08 results were a penny ahead of our expectations, benefiting from good earned premium growth, additional income from a larger investment portfolio resulting from increased retention of premiums, and a favorable prior-year loss reserve development. Excellent risk-adjusted capitalization, favorable operating performance, and financial flexibility helped the company in maintaining its A- rating. The acquisition of various agency production sources has resulted in geographic as well product risk for the group. We believe these factors will bring stability to HALL?s earnings. As such, we keep the shares on Hold. Following a review of the 2Q08 results, we are fine-tuning our 2008 and 2009 earnings expectations to $1.35 per share and $1.35 per share, respectively, from $1.37 per share and[More...]

We downgrade Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (ACOR) to Sell from Hold, as we believe the shares are significantly overvalued at the current level, and expectations for profitability and future cash flow are entirely too high. We believe alternative medications and a high side-effect profile will keep Fampridine-SR as a niche-use drug only....[More...]

Kroon Hall Makes Environmentalists Swoon

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 09:47:00 GMT

Sep. 20--NEW HAVEN -- Looking a little like a 19th century Vermont barn, the newest building on the Yale University campus is attracting international attention because it's one of the most environmentally friendly buildings of its type in the world.
Kroon Hall, around the corner from the Peabody Museum, is the new home of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
In the winter, heat exchangers pull heat energy from warm exhaust air to aid the heating system.
