Biggest Declines Among S&P

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 21:05:02 GMT

The following is a list of the S&P 500 firms where the analysts have been cutting their expectations for the current fiscal year the most over the last month. Most likely these firms reported disappointing earnings or gave negative guidance on their conference calls. Historically, you have not wanted to be invested in companies where the analysts who follow them most closely see the earnings prospects diminishing. Also, estimates in motion tend to remain in motion. The first bit of bad news is rarely the last (the cockroach theory). This means that the current expectations, even though down from last month, are probably still to high for these firms. To weed out anomalies, only those firms that are currently expected to earn more than $0.50 in 2009 are included and only those firms where there are a minimum of three estimates in the system. If you have these stocks in your portfolio, you might want to reconsider[More...]

Normally when searching for buy ideas, AFG narrows its list of potential investment opportunities using several powerful proprietary variables including valuation, economic margin, management quality, earnings quality and others. Using AFG’s valuation variable (value score) as a stand-alone screen, ValueExpectations has shown portfolios that have gone on to earn outstanding returns. We first posted a blog “High Value Score Stocks: S&P 500” in December of 2008 using only AFG's valuation variable - Value Score. These companies (DDS, S, NOV, MTW, SII, WFR, CHK) were identified as having the highest value score within the entire index. Since release, that portfolio has outpaced the S&P 500 by over 71% as of May 26, 2009. With the success of the first high value score stocks blog, we released a[More...]

DryShips (DRYS) Gets Concern Note From Auditors; Manitowec (MTW)

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:42:00 GMT

This is an ironic story because in the comments section last week, reader Keith P asked why I trade in Excel Maritime (EXM) rather than everyone's favorite dry bulk shipper - DryShips (DRYS). Today's news which has been a long time coming explains why. (Oct 31, 2008: Credit Tsunami Swamps Trade) (Nov 3, 2008: UK Telegraph - Investors Shun Greek Debt as Shipping Crisis Deepens) While DryShips is the daytraders / speculators favorite stock it is not for me, or my timeframe - not with the potential to wake up any morning and seeing banks pulling the plug.

Manitowoc Sells Ice Division: Unlikely to Thaw Debt

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:10:00 GMT

Manitowoc (MTW) is selling its ice making equipment divisions responsible for the brands Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Simag, Barline among others. Manitowoc will receive $160 million in exchange for the business from Braveheart Acquisitions a subsidiary of private equity giant Warburg Pincus. Manitowoc stock has been under significant pressure, down nearly 90% since a year ago and more than 45% just since the start of 2009. A major reason for the sale of the business is related to antitrust regulations after the purchase of British cooking supplier Enodis PLC last October. The purchase price of $160 million is far less than MTW had hoped to receive. The company had valued the ice maker[More...]

Oil Sands Riches Slow to a Trickle: Recession Catches Up to Canada Mining Mecca

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 02:47:00 GMT

Oct. 17--The global economic slowdown has caught up with the desolate oil sands region in northwest Canada, which has been sending a torrent of money flowing through Wisconsin.
The result has been a slowdown in sales for some Wisconsin manufacturers who supply equipment to the region, although existing oil sands projects are keeping some others as busy as ever.
Huge electric mining shovels, made in Milwaukee, have provided the muscle behind the Gold Rush-style boom as oil companies tap the riches of dirt containing a tarlike grade of petroleum.
