More Cash, Less Debt = Stock Market Gains?

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:41:32 GMT

Today there were a couple of posts about how tech stocks are currently especially attractive because they hold plenty of cash and tend to have little debt. Paul Kedrosky initially caught my eye with his post "Tech Cash is King" which in turn pointed me to a story on Bloomberg by Eric Martin. I ran a screen tonight that looked at both cash and debt. Specifically, I screened for a Price-to-Cash ratio under three, a Debt-to-Equity ratio under three and a Market Cap greater than $2.5 million. Based on these criteria, I obtained a list of 136 stocks. Judging from our list, it is absolutely true that many tech stocks do seem to have lots of cash and little debt. What also became apparent as I went through the list is that there[More...]

Flood Of Earnings Begin - Monday/Tuesday Preview

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:14:28 GMT

Long time readers will know our love/hate relationship with earnings season. As information hogs we love more data; but as stock market participants we hate the massive overreactions to companies based on 90 days of business and a penny here or there in earnings per share, or +/- 1-2% of revenue on the top line. But this is the only game in town and if certain companies should win or lose 20-30% of their market value within seconds of the all important press release is not up to us; this is the market "we've" created. So we'll gap up or down in many individual stocks, and the market as a whole based on 1-2 "important" companies that - based on a few pennies here or there - shift the entire complexion of a $14 Trillion economy. Or so the pundits will opine. In most cases, I will be cutting back positions going into earnings since they have become 50/50 propositions with completely unknown risks v returns as lemmings rush in (or out). [More...]

Terex (TEX) Warns of Losses, Job Cuts, and Covenants; NetApp (NTAP) Reminds us "Tech is a Great Place" to Invest

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:46:00 GMT

Speaking of earnings reports that speak to the true state of the economy... it looks like the Obamaconomy is coming too late for Terex (TEX). Last time we looked at it, it was a $50 stock that warned and fell 20% (Sep 4, 2008: Terex, IBM - Be Careful What you Wish For) Terex (TEX) is not a company I follow that closely but have it out there with 1 eye as a "global construction" play. Down close[More...]

Halloween Comes Early - Earnings Trends

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:41:00 GMT

Highlighted stocks include Amgen Inc (AMGN), Ashland Inc (ASH), EMC Corporation (EMC) and Terex Corporation (TEX). Important note: Keep your focus on the trends in estimates, not on the levels! An estimate in motion tends to stay in motion. Estimates are dropping rapidly, and nearly across the board. This means that the currently measured expectations for the fourth quarter and for 2009 are far too high. The growth rate expected[More...]

Picking Some Stocks To Survive The Market

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:04:00 GMT

I have not done well in the markets for the last six weeks. Here is why: Overweight in Life Insurers. Yes, they are in better shape than the banks, but that only means they got hit later, not that they would not get hit. Too much economic sensitivity. I felt that global demand would hold up better than US demand, but that only means they got hit later, not that they would not get hit. I suspect that hedge funds have been blowing out my positions. I’ve ben talking about stock survivability lately. What does that mean? Low levels of short-term debt. Few major debt maturities coming in the next three years. Low levels of total debt relative to tangible capital. Still earning money and producing free cash flow, even in a tough environment. If a company is[More...]

A-Power Energy Let's CFO Go

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Ok, finally we have the fire behind the smoke. This morning a press release about the termination of the CFO at A-Power Energy (APWR) - now the first reaction when I see the CFO leaving is abject fright since it usually means a litany of bad news to come. This might still be the case here, BUT on the surface it appears to be a conflict of interest situation. Here is the official press release A-Power Energy Generation Systems, Ltd. (Nasdaq: APWR - News; "A-Power"), announced today that its Audit Committee has completed an internal review that confirmed assertions made by NASDAQ relating to the omission of certain biographical information of Edward[More...]

Terex CEO Demands Action on Highway Bill

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:51:00 GMT

Oct. 6--Ronals DeFeo is exasperated.
Each day that Congress does not act on a multi-year transportation bill he grows more worried about the impact it will have on the nation's construction-equipment industry and the economy.
