Fitch Cuts Honeywell (HON) Outlook

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:14:36 GMT

Fitch Ratings recently lowered its outlook on Honeywell International Inc. (HON) as it expects the defense contractor’s weak operating performance that began late last year to continue through 2009. Lower earnings and cash flow have resulted in a leverage which is above normal levels for maintaining an “A" assigned to the company’s long-term default rating, unsecured bank credit and senior unsecured debt program. Fitch has an "F1" rating on Honeywell’s short-term issuer default and commercial papers. Although the global recession has hurt the company’s short-term outlook and 2009 results, Honeywell plans to continue its investments to ensure growth when the economy rebounds. It intends to reduce debt to help limit the impact of weaker financial results on leverage in 2009. The[More...]

Some Random Thoughts for July 20, 2009

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:15:19 GMT

Well CIT which was supposedly 'well capitalized' seems to have found 3 billion in necessary funding in the 12th hour. Funny how a well capitalized outfit needs that type of infusion to stay afloat. Ah yes, I forgot not a solvency issue just some liquidity hiccups. Nice to know the $2 plus billion CIT received in Federal bailout money last year is secure. Nothing to worry about according to King Henry Paulson, the taxpayer is protected ! Some of you may or may not have heard the story making the rounds last week, and mentioned by Dennis Gartman in his daily letter, that the Comex was allowing for the delivery of ETF shares in the place of actual physical gold bullion against a futures positions. This, dear readers is smoke, and where there is smoke there is fire. I suggest you keep close eye on this situation as I will be. Of course the Comex is well capitalized, right? Of course they are.

Johnson Controls posts 4Q profit, backs guidance

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:49:00 GMT

MILWAUKEE - Johnson Controls Inc. said Tuesday that cost cuts and operational improvements bolstered its profit in the fourth quarter, helping to offset the effects of the continued weak economy on its sales.
Johnson Controls, which makes both automotive and building systems, also backed predictions made earlier this month of better earnings and sales for the next fiscal year, citing expectations of higher global automotive production and the resumption of higher growth rates in emerging markets.
The company said it also expects building-efficiency markets to start to improve in the second half of the fiscal year and for cost-structure improvements taken over the last year to also boost its profitability.
