Potash Corp. (POT) has leverage in higher fertilizer application rates, higher crop plantings, increasing demand for biofuels and rising crop prices. The company is located in low cost areas and its financials are solid. Hence, we rate the stock a Buy with a target price of $250. This is 18.9x our 2008 estimate. Potash Corporation enjoys significant cost advantage with regard to raw materials. All potash produced by the company in Saskatchewan is in the area, where extensive potash deposits are found. Moreover, the company has lower cost nitrogen operations in Trinidad due to the long-term, lower-cost gas contracts with Natural Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited as well as a proximity to the U.S. market. In response to the rising prices of potash products, the company has engaged in the expansion and development of projects that[More...]

European Stocks Rebound Nicely - Oct 3 2007 2:44AM

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 06:39:19 GMT

While investors in the U.S. consider looking abroad for strong investments and diversification, we are fortunate to be able to speak with Zacks senior foreign technology analyst Robert Perri, CFA about how the technology sector in Europe and elsewhere is progressing nowadays. In general, how did last earnings season go for foreign technology companies? Q2 earnings season was actually a lot like the first quarter in that a lot of the companies reported solid results, but they've been very cautious about what they expect in the second half [of the year]. Only a select few companies have raised their guidance. In fact, many companies have maintained their guidance after beating estimates in the second quarter. So they're actually effectively lowering guidance for the second half of the year, despite strong results in the second quarter. Are there any[More...]

Be Selective in EuroTech Choices - Aug 15 2007 2:38AM

While investors in the U.S. consider looking abroad for strong investments and diversification, we are fortunate to be able to speak with Zacks senior foreign technology analyst Robert Perri, CFA about how the technology sector in Europe and elsewhere is progressing nowadays. Has the sell-off in major markets, in the U.S. especially, been negatively affecting companies in your coverage? Yes it has. Actually, a lot of the European companies have been down as well; many stocks have been battered with the recent sell-off. The European markets are also down, as well. But you have to be selective. Some stocks that have gone down were selling at lofty valuations to begin with, and while they were knocked down by the weakness in the markets, sometimes it's better that they stay there. While other companies that have been beaten up have been for no reason. So it's good to be selective[More...]
