Earnings Preview: Southwestern Energy (NYSE:SWN)

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:26:19 GMT

Southwestern Energy Company is scheduled to report the third quarter results on Friday, October 30, 2009. In the last quarter, the company’s actual earnings met the market’s consensus estimate, whereas in the same quarter a year ago, the company exceeded the market’s consensus significantly. The company is more likely to continue its positive earnings streak in Q3-2009 as well.[More...]

Natural Gas ETFs

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:27:34 GMT

The following is from Kelly Letter Note 55, sent to subscribers first thing in the morning on Sunday, August 16. We've been watching US Natural Gas (UNG) as a possible buy to track what we believe will be a gradual increase in the price of natural gas when the economy gets back on an earnest growth path. Several subscribers have written to ask if there isn't a better way to buy into the thesis. UNG, they've read and noticed, has not tracked the price of gas well. One suggested alternative is First Trust ISE-Revere Natural Gas (FCG). Instead of tracking the price of gas itself, FCG tracks an index of companies that earn "a substantial portion of their revenue from the exploration and production of natural gas." For details on the ISE-Revere Natural Gas index and a list of its component stocks,[More...]

One Stop Shopping For 'Energy' Exposure: Blackrock Energy And Resources

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 21:34:18 GMT

Let me preface this piece by saying I stole this specific instrument from Jeffrey Saut, who mentioned it in his weekly missive. Long time readers will know I've mentioned this market has become all about asset allocation, and sectors - I noticed this late in 2007 when we were hiding out in commodities while many other sectors were imploding but other than a few periods when "everything" is going down (or up) it appears a lot of individual stock selection is going out the window and "sectors" are more important. Some themes are broad like "China" or "commodities" (which in many ways are now the same theme), where others are narrower such as "casual dining restaurants". I don't know if its the dominance of program trading or the growing popularity of ETFs but this seems to be a secular change in the[More...]

Earnings Season Is Over - Who Were The Growth Leaders?

Tue, 19 May 2009 03:27:49 GMT

Earnings season is pretty much over now. Many companies managed to beat drastically reduced expectations. As a result, many bears focused on poor earnings quality and the fact that the bar had been lowered so far, it was no great accomplishment to exceed expectations. There were a number of stocks, though, that beat fair and square. We compiled a list of stocks that had increased earnings per share sequentially and year-over-year and increased revenues sequentially and year-over-year. We had 218 stocks that made the list. We then cross referenced this list with the S&P 500 and came up with the following list of 27 stocks: SymbolNameAETAETNA[More...]

Earnings Review Of Note Monday-Tuesday

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:59:36 GMT

Some names I am looking at early this week Monday Fund holdings - Baidu.com (BIDU) and First National Financial (FNF). The former broke through the 200 day moving average Thursday but I cut it down to 1 share on super froth. The latter has been stagnat the past 8 days, with each day an intraday low hitting the 50 day moving average. Very strange. I cut back a bit to a 2.5% stake since I have double jeopardy in these guys with FNF and FAF. I expect good things but the stock action has been weak"ish" and this is the more expensive of the two - not that[More...]

What Should You Do Before Energy Earnings?

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:54:00 GMT

Energy earnings start each season with the release of Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB: 46.23, 0.00 (0.00%)) on a Friday. As every seasoned investors knows, energy stocks are one of the most volatile sectors to play when companies release their quarterly results. Often times it is a question of tracking how crude oil and natural gas preformed during the quarter in order to determine how the earnings season will treat the energy names, but this time around I believe there will be a lot of money to be made with counter-intuitive thinking. Before getting into that, it is important to track where we have been during the course of the quarter. Believe it or[More...]

Coverage Ratio - What Stocks Can We Uncover In The S&P 500?

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 03:36:00 GMT

Credit markets are still fairly frozen and making it difficult for companies to issue new debt. With earnings estimates seemingly in free fall, I thought it might be interesting to run a screen that identifies those companies who are expected to be well positioned to avoid problems related to carrying their current total debt load. This screen is based on the Cash Flow to Debt Coverage Ratio. This compares a company's operating cash flow to its total debt, which, for purposes of this ratio, is defined as the sum of short-term borrowings, the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt. This ratio provides an indication of a company's ability to cover total debt with its yearly cash flow from operations. The higher the percentage ratio, the better the company's ability to carry its total debt. In our screen, we looked for companies whose debt coverage ratio is 0.75 or[More...]

Seven Plays Dominate North America Activity

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:02:00 GMT

GAS SHALE- 1 Seven shale plays dominate today's North America natural gas potential reserves additions and production increases.
Contrary to prior expectations of gas strat- egists and forecasts of gloom, ' today North America is awash in natural gas supply.
While reduced demand (-1.6 bcfd) and the new Rockies Express pipeline (0.9 bcfd) have been partly responsible, gas shale development undoubtedly has been the single most important factor.
