  • AMP
    Ameriprise Financ
  • $31.79
  • -3.52%
  • $31.61

Buy - Price 50.29 on April 23 by UBS Target: 68. AMP reported 1Q08 operating [earnings per share] of 89 cents, missing our 93 cents/consensus 97 cents. Lower equity markets and interest rates hurt op-EPS, but [there was a] 16-cent tax benefit. We're lowering our '08 and '09 operating EPS to $4.22 and $5, from $4.45 and $5.09, to reflect 1Q08 results/ assumption changes. Market cap: $11.4 billion.

Market Outperform - Price 3.11 on April 22 by JMP Securities CPSS makes non-prime used-car loans. Its 1Q08 EPS, 11 cents, beat our 8-cent estimate, largely [on] lower provisioning for losses. Net-interest income was...up 18%...[yet] CPSS continues to slow...amid disrupted capital markets.

  • $40.64

Moderate Outperform - Price 49.59 on April 23 by First Global Due to strong top- and bottom-line growth expected for calendar '08...we believe LLY deserves to trade at higher multiples. Recent overhang on LLY [due to platelet-inhibitor] Prasugrel...appears overdone. Final approval of Prasugrel will be the key trigger for the stock. Estimated price/earnings for '08: 12.5 times. Market cap: $54.3 billion.

Hold - Price 87.30 on April 22 by Morgan Joseph Year-over-year [order] backlog was 50%-plus on wide-ranging new awards.... [Despite economic headwinds,] JEC maintains a favorable forward outlook, especially in the oil and gas markets, and is rais[ing] full-year guidance by 5 cents a share...Yet we believe JEC shares are appropriately valued.

  • $4.43

Underweight - Price 4.65 on April 22 by Morgan Stanley JBLU reported a 1Q08 loss per share of 4 cents versus our estimated 1-cent loss/First Call's 8 cents. We see JBLU as largely an option on oil prices, with additional risks from the weak economy and competitive threats. Target: 6. Market cap: $854 million.

Outperform - Price 68.56 on April 23 by Raymond James Peabody reported 1Q08 EPS from continuing operations of 26 cents a share, versus our estimate of 15 cents/consensus 18 cents. Results benefited from higher-than-anticipated asset sales, offset by a much higher recorded tax rate. P/E est for 2008: 25.9 times. Target: 80. Market cap: $18.7 billion.

    Satyam Computer S
  • $14.12
  • -6.12%
  • $14.35

Buy - Price 23.27 on April 23 by Gilford Securities Qualitative shift in client engagements and outstanding operational execution drove a fifth year of [above] 35% EPS growth. Yet given continued concern over U.S. IT spending (60.6% of revenue), we lower target to 32 from 36. This would [mean] 20 times forward EPS of $1.60-a premium to the current, depressed 16 times. Market cap: $6.9 billion.

A. imagine a situations where the demand
for commodities falls more than the
dollar depreciating.

The Glossary of Economics Terms defines
deflation as occurring "when prices
are declining over time. This is the
opposite of inflation; when the
inflation rate (by some measure) is
negative, the economy is in a
deflationary period."

The article Why Does Money Have Value?
explains that inflation occurs when
money becomes relatively less valuable
than goods. Then deflation is simply the
opposite, that over time money is
becoming relatively more valuable than
the other goods in the economy.
