Maailma suurim videolaenutuste kett Blockbuster (BBI) soovib osta elektroonikamüüjat Circuit City’t (CC). CC aktsia sulgus reedel $3.90 tasemel, kuid BBI on nõus maksma $6-8 aktsia eest.
Blockbuster (BBI) omanike ja juhatuse tutvusringkonnal on hõlbus lisakapitali teenida, sest elektroonikamüüjat Circuit City't (CC) vaid SOOVITAKSE osta, mitte ei osteta ;)
Wachovia (WB) Reports Q1 loss of $0.14 per share, ex items, may not be comparable to the First Call consensus of $0.40; revenues rose 5.0% year/year to $7.9 bln vs the $7.98 bln consensus. Co announced plans to raise capital through a public offering of common stock and perpetual convertible preferred stock. Co lowerd its quarterly dividend to $0.375 which preserves $2.0 billion of capital annually, to build capital ratios and provide more operational flexibility.
Leiko, päris nii kiiresti need asjad ei käi. Ja tegemist pole üldse lõpliku pakkumisega, kuna enne soovitakse veidi informatsiooni saada, mida CC pole aga suutnud pakkuda.

Tere taas sõbrad! Olen nüüd puhkuselt lõpuks tagasi jõudnud ja saame nüüd sama hea hooga edasi minna. GE nõrgad tulemused on ikka väga suur uudis ja paras pettumus. Barrons on ettevõtet kaitsmas, tuues välja soodsad valuatsioonid (ma küll ütleks pigem, et investeerimiseks mõistlikud tasemed, mitte veel karjuvalt odavad).
Palju tähtsaid tulemusi lähipäevil tulemas. Intel (INTC) teatab oma numbrid teisipäeval pärast turgu, IBMi numbrid tulevad kolmapäeval pärast turgu ja Google (GOOG) astub investorite ette neljapäevasel järelturul.
Barron's Online reports the co's earnings shortfall shocked Wall Street, embarrassed the co and hurt the credibility of CEO Jeff Immelt. But it doesn't kill the investment case for the co, whose shares now trade about where they stood a decade ago... GE now trades for a reasonable 14.2 times estimated 2008 profits of $2.25 a share, using the midpoint of the current guidance. It's just 13 times estimated 2009 profits of $2.50 a share. Our 2009 estimate assumes 10% to 11% earnings growth next year, off a base of $2.25. GE has a secure, bond-like dividend yield of 3.9%. General Electric is one of the best plays on the global-infrastructure boom, due to its strength in gas and wind turbines, jet engines and locomotives. Its infrastructure division, which includes these businesses, generated 23% revenue growth and 17% profit growth in the first quarter -- the brightest spot for the company. This division, which accounts for 40% of GE's earnings, experienced 11% order growth in the period... GE's risk/reward ratio looks pretty good. Even if profit guidance for 2008 falls further -- to say, $2 a share -- downside in the stock probably isn't much lower than 28...
