  • $75.58
  • -1.59%

Hold - Price 112.54 on April 29 by Jefferies & Co. Entergy [looks] fairly valued based on [discounted cash flow] and [enterprise value/earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization] valuation.

  • $23.25
  • 0.00%
  • $23.41

Focus List - Price 40.42 on April 29 by McAdams Wright Ragen GGG's fundamentals continue to hold up well, even as it navigates the difficult U.S. housing market, which is weighing on the contractor-division results. 1Q revenues increased 3.4% [versus year-ago] to $204.1 million and EPS totaled 57 cents, versus 50 cents. Gains are mostly due to steady progress in European and Asian markets. GGG continues to accumulate debt to buy back stock. Maintaining our current earnings estimate of $2.55 a share and 52 [target]...equat[ing] to GGG stock trading at 14.2 times operating cash flow in 2009 or 18.5 times earnings. Market cap: $2.4 billion.

  • NX
    Quanex Bldg Prods
  • $12.29
  • 0.00%
  • $12.16

Buy - Price 17.75 on April 29 by SMH Capital [This] recent sale/spinoff of Quanex ...in our opinion positioned [Quanex ]for growth. Although Quanex has significant exposure to the residential market, we [think QBP is] prepared to endure the downturn, and...benefit when housing rebounds. A strong balance sheet...combined with $270 million credit facility have positioned QBP to be a consolidator during the downturn. We believe acquisitions combined with organic growth will [be of] benefit...in the next up-cycle. We believe investors should focus on Quanex's [fiscal] '09 outlook rather than F08.... E2009 [earnings-per-share growth] is 46% and price/earnings ratio, 12.4 times. Target: 21. Market cap: $675 million
