  • $3.75

The stock market's 189-point surge last Monday largely stemmed from S&P's decision to maintain its top credit ratings on mortgage and bond insurers MBIA (MBI) and Ambac (ABK). The same day, MBIA suspended its quarterly common dividend. As reported in this space Jan. 14, MBIA slashed its payout 62%, to 13 cents a share from 34 cents, as part of a plan aimed at strengthening its capital to hold on to its crucial AAA rating. No dividends were paid at the 13-cent rate. MBIA said the payout elimination will save about $174 million a year. On Jan. 29, Ambac cut its quarterly to seven cents a share from 21 cents.
