LEH Lehman Brothers: Major firms say trade with Lehman continues but that could stop if shares fall under $3
Kas firma käive ja kasum on tõusnud ka samas tempos kui aktsia hind?
Merrill ennustab: 2009 EPS goes to $23 with 2010 EPS going to $25.
Mis oli EPS 2006 ja 2007?
Ouna Ants, POTi (ja ka teiste väetisetootjate) puhul käib peamiselt mäng ikkagi selle peale, kas praegune põllumajandussektori tõus on jätkusuutlik või on tegemist peatselt lõhkeva mulliga. Ma olen vist varem ka sellele viidanud, kuid järgnev argument on minu arvates Citi analüütikutel väga hea:
Materials Sell Off Indiscriminate, Misplaced in Ag – While we understand the demand linkage between industrial metals and global economic growth, our recent analysis of nearly 4 decades of global grain demand data indicates that grain demand has rarely declined YoY absent a major supply shortfall.
Konsensuse EPSi prognoos on 2009. aastaks $21.4. Citi vastav number on $22.3 ja 2010. aastaks $14.3. Osa EPSi kasvust tuleb muidugi tänu aktsiate tagasiostule.
Goldman upgraded WM said Q3 results were worse than expected but not as bad as the decline in shares suggests. The analyst said WM's capital and reserves appear stable and that the company might be able to avoid another capital raise. Target to $4 from $5.
Friedman Billings on langetanud WM-i hinnasihti $4 pealt $2.5 peale ja ennustavad Q3 kahjumit aktsia kohta $1.20-1.30
Friedman Billings cuts their tgt on WM to $2.50 from $4, equal to 50% of estimated trough tangible book value based on firm's uncertainty in WM's future capital structure. On Sept 11, with ~three weeks remaining in the quarter, WM provided the market a 3Q08 earnings outlook, which implies a 3Q08 loss between $1.20 and $1.30. Firm remains comfortable with their slightly higher loss est of $1.40. EPS is highly dependent on credit costs, and firm's outlook for a $5 bln provision in 3Q08 is above mgmt's $4.5 bln outlook. WM expects single family residential loan cumulative losses of $19 bln, equal to 10% of loans. With losses of $2.2 bln in 2Q08 and firm believes another $6 bln likely in 2H08, WM is quickly realizing expected losses. If losses exceed guidance, WM could find itself in need of additional capital, which firm believes could be extremely dilutive to current shareholders.

It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
-- Dean William R. Inge
The market continues to dance to the tune of the unwinding of Lehman Brothers (LEH) this morning. The bulls are hopeful that a resolution will help to put a bottom in the financials as well as the overall market, while the bears scoff at the notion that things are going to stabilize because of a panicked asset sale that may require governmental assistance.
The market is extremely chaotic right now, as evidenced by a number of sharp swings lately. On one hand, we have hope that some of the problems like Lehman and WaMu (WM) may be resolved, while on the other hand, we obviously have an unprecedented collapse of major financial organizations and a slew of financial challenges.
For those of looking to establish positions, the market is offering little. Aside from the drama in the financial sector, there continues to be no significant upside leadership. The charts are a mess, and if you want to trade, your only option is to engage in bottom-fishing or playing volatility in rumor-driven situations. You simply are not going to find many classic chart setups in this market right now, which is exactly what happens when there is a bear market.
The best trades lately continue to be shorting extreme strength or buying panicky weakness, as we have seen several times just this week. That is great if you have a time frame of a day, but it makes it nearly impossible if you want to build positions for anything more than a few days.
Even with the big reversal yesterday the technical picture of the major indices remains negative. We are still firmly stuck in a downtrend. While the July lows in the Nasdaq and S&P 500 held yesterday, another test has an increased likelihood of failing. We may bounce a bit more, but it looks very likely that those July lows will be revisited in the near future.
The LEH drama is going to preoccupy the media today, and we'll see the market jerked around as rumors fly. That short-term noise isn't going to change the overall picture, but it's going to excite the bulls. They'll try to convince you that the market really, truly, positively is going to find a bottom this time. Wait for some real proof rather than hope, and stay defensive.
Oil and commodity stocks look ripe for a bounce today as Hurricane Ike heads for drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the sectors have been finding some support for a few days now and have some base from which to turn up. There are positive comments about drillers and coal this morning, and the combination of things -- along with badly oversold charts -- might be enough to bring in some bottom-fishing.
We have a flat start on the way, but I suspect that trading will be quite choppy today with plenty of rumors to move things around.
