Stocks To Watch

Noble, F& N, GLP, Hyflux, Fragrance, Soup Restaurant



August 11, 2015 : 7:45 AM

The following stocks may be in focus today:

PricewaterhouseCoopers has concluded that commodity trader Noble Group (Financial Dashboard) ' s individual contract valuations and overall mark-to-market valuation comply with the relevant requirements of international financial reporting standards and standard industry practices. Noble' s board had appointed PwC to review its accounting practices after Iceberg Research in mid-February first accused the company of inflating its assets by billions of dollars by using accounting techniques to mislead markets. Shares of Noble closed 2.7% higher at 58 cents on Aug 6.

Fraser and Neave (Financial Dashboard), the property and beverage group, posted a 9% fall in 3Q earnings to $ 40.5 million, or 2.8 cents per share, from a year ago despite a 3.7% increase in revenue of $ 645 million. The higher revenue was due to a 5% growth in Food & Beverage (F & B), mainly from strong recovery in soft drinks sales in Malaysia and robust performance in its dairies business in Thailand. F & N closed 1.8% higher at $ 2.3 on Aug 6.

Global Logistic Properties (Financial Dashboard), the provider of modern logistics facilities, will sell five wholly-owned properties in Japan to GLP J-REIT for JPY38.1 billion ($ 424 million). The properties comprise a total gross floor area of ​ ​ 2.2 million sf. GLP closed 1 cent higher at $ 2.37 on Aug 6.

Water company Hyflux (Financial Dashboard) reported a 68% fall in half-year earnings to $ 31.6 million from $ 99.3 million a year ago. Group revenue fell 8% to $ 155.2 million with municipal projects representing 91% or $ 141.9 million. Hyflux closed flat at 84 cents on Aug 6.

Property developer Fragrance Group (Financial Dashboard) saw its earnings dived 46% in 2Q to $ 15.2 million, as revenue fell 36.6% to $ 92.8 million from a year ago. The group saw lower revenue contribution from both its property development and property investment sectors for the quarter. Fragrance Group' s shares closed at 20.5 cents, up 2.5% on Aug 6.

Soup Restaurant Group (Financial Dashboard), the herbal soup restaurant operator, reported a 32.4% fall in 2Q earnings to $ 25,000 despite improved sales. Revenue rose 3.4% to $ 9.8 million for the period. But rising lease expenses, employee benefit expenses coupled with Singapore' s f & b labour crunch, weighed down on earnings. Soup Restaurant closed at 20.5 cents on Aug 6.

US stocks climbed last night, giving the S & P 500 its biggest increase since May as indexes rebounded sharply from last week' s losses, buoyed by gains in commodity-related shares and optimism over Warren Buffett' s acquisition of Precision Castparts in a deal valued at US $ 32.2 billion ( $ 45.5 billion).

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 241.79 points, or 1.39%, to 17,615.17, the S & P 500 gained 26.61 points, or 1.28%, to 2,104.18 and the Nasdaq Composite added 58.25 points, or 1.16%, to 5,101.80.

On Aug 6, the Straits Times Index (STI) ended the day 0.17% higher at 3,196.66, after trading between 3,180.87 and 3,196.66. Decliners outnumbered gainers 261 to 193. A total of 1.47 billion shares worth $ 1 billion changed hands.

Dow +1.39%  17,615.17  /  +241.79 
Nasdaq +1.16%  5,101.80  /  +58.26 
S& P +1.28%  2,104.18  /  +26.61

Wall St. rallies with energy, materials Google jumps after the bell

U.S. stocks climbed on Monday, giving the S& P 500 its biggest increase since May as indexes rebounded sharply from last week' s losses, buoyed by gains in commodity-related shares and optimism over Warren Buffett' s latest deal.

Copper rebounded from six-year lows and oil prices also rallied, helping push the S& P 500 energy index .SPNY up 3.1 percent, its biggest daily percentage jump since January, and the materials index .SPLRCM up 2.5 percent.

Disappointing economic data in China boosted hopes for additional stimulus from Beijing, lifting Chinese stocks. Adding to investor optimism, Greece and international creditors could wrap up a multibillion-euro bailout accord by Tuesday.

Buffett' s Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N) (BRKb.N) said it would buy Precision Castparts (PCP.N) in a deal valuing the company at $32.3 billion. Precision Castparts' shares jumped 19.1 percent to $230.92, while Berkshire' s Class B shares dipped 0.1 percent to $143.42.

The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI rose 241.79 points, or 1.39 percent, to 17,615.17, the S& P 500 .SPX gained 26.61 points, or 1.28 percent, to 2,104.18 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 58.25 points, or 1.16 percent, to 5,101.80.

The benchmark S& P 500 index registered its biggest daily percentage gain since May 8.

After the bell, shares of Google (GOOGL.O) climbed 4.8 percent after it announced it is changing its operating structure by setting up a new company called Alphabet Inc, which will include the search business and a number of other units. Stock futures NQc1 rose further following the news.

During the regular session, Twitter (TWTR.N) shares jumped 9.1 percent to $29.50 after CEO Jack Dorsey joined other insiders in buying more shares, while the company also clinched a multiyear partnership with the National Football League.

On Friday, the Dow closed lower for the seventh straight session after solid U.S. jobs data for July pried the door open a little wider for a Federal Reserve rate hike in September.

With U.S. interest rates near zero for almost a decade, debt has been cheap. But with the Fed widely expected to hike rates later this year, merger and acquisition activity has accelerated.

July was the seventh strongest month for global deal activity since 1980. Through July, cross-border M& A activity totaled $913.5 billion, up 23 percent from a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters data.

" We' ve had a whole lot of M& A throughout the year, and that' s positive because it means businesses are upbeat on the prospects for the economy," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York.

In other deal news, ammonia maker CVR Partners' (UAN.N) deal to buy Rentech Nitrogen Partners (RNF.N) for about $533 million sent Rentech soaring 28.6 percent to close at $13.25 while CVR shares were down 2.9 percent at $10.38.

On the NYSE, advancing issues outnumbered declining ones by 2,329 to 734 for a 3.17-to-1 ratio on the upside. On the Nasdaq, 1,937 issues rose and 856 fell for a 2.26-to-1 ratio favoring advancers.

The S& P 500 index posted 35 new 52-week highs and three new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 58 new highs and 85 new lows.

About 6.5 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, compared with the daily average of 7.0 billion for the month to date, according to data from BATS Global Markets

Wall Street now thinks Fed hike in September will be 2015' s only move: Reuters poll
Top Wall Street banks still expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in September, but a growing number now believe the central bank is likely to only hike once this year, a Reuters poll found on Friday.

Thirteen of 19 primary dealers, or the banks that deal directly with the Fed, polled said they expect the Fed to raise rates by September but just nine now believe the Fed will hike rates twice in 2015, compared with 15 of 20 in the July Reuters poll.

The median expectation for where the federal funds rate will end the year was 0.5 percent and 1.5 percent for 2016. For a table, click here:

The central bank has kept rates at a near-zero level since December 2008 as part of its effort to spur the recovery from the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

Friday' s jobs report, which showed U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 215,000 in July, pointed to an improving economy and bolstered the case for a September hike.

" If we continue to get this type of trend-like data, we will get a hike next month," said Joe LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank.

While most of the primary dealers continued to expect a September hike, some with increased conviction, BNP Paribas and Nomura pushed their rate hike expectations to December from September.

Five of the participants who in July said they expected two rate hikes this year now see only one. Currently less than half those surveyed expect two hikes this year.

In early July, Credit Suisse scaled back its rate hike expectation for 2015 to one from two, citing challenges to its previously held views on quickening labor income growth and a second-half rebound in global manufacturing.

&ldquo While things have turned the turns have not been conclusive enough for us to revert back to the previous call,&rdquo said Dana Saporta, economist at Credit Suisse.

The Fed has long emphasized that it expects to raise interest rates only gradually, unlike the last rate-hike cycle, when policymakers raised borrowing costs slightly at successive meetings.

Federal Reserve officials are still undecided on whether to raise interest rates next month, but they are growing more comfortable with the idea, as an improving labor market makes it harder to justify historically low rates.

Media stock selloff leaves Wall Street bruised


Wall Street ended sharply lower on Thursday as weak earnings reports from media companies stirred fears that more viewers are ditching cable TV, dragging the sector to its worst two-day loss since the financial crisis.

The selloff was compounded by nervousness ahead of key jobs data on Friday that could provide clues about the timing of the first Federal Reserve interest rate hike in almost a decade.

Viacom (VIAB.O) fell 14.22 percent to its lowest in almost four years after reporting lower-than-expected quarterly revenue due to weakness in its cable TV business. Walt Disney (DIS.N) was off 1.79 percent and down for a second session after it lowered profit guidance for its cable networks unit on Tuesday.

The S& P 500 media index .SPLRCMDIA lost 2.12 percent and notched its biggest two-day fall since November 2008, with Time Warner (TWX.N), Comcast (CMCSA.O) and CBS (CBS.N) all in the red and Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA.O) down 6.4 percent.

" All the media stocks are down and it seems people just want to get out of the sector at any cost and take any loss," CLSA analyst Vasily Karasyov said.

Viacom' s results and Disney' s warning put the spotlight on a trend of viewers shifting from cable TV to Internet-based services such as Netflix (NFLX.O), which rose 2.21 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 0.69 percent to end at 17,419.75 and the S& P 500 .SPX lost 0.78 percent to 2,083.56. The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 1.62 percent to 5,056.44, its biggest one-day tumble since early July.

Eight of the 10 major S& P sectors were lower, with the health index' s .SPXHC 2.09 percent fall leading the decliners. Allergan (AGN.N) fell 5.1 percent after the Irish drugmaker reported a second-quarter loss.

In other earnings-driven stock moves, Tesla (TSLA.O) fell 8.88 percent and Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR.O) slumped as much as 29.75 percent after reporting disappointing numbers.

Investors were also jittery ahead of the release of U.S. non-farm payroll numbers, which are expected to have risen by 223,000 in July, matching gains in June.

The Fed has said it will raise rates only when it sees a sustained recovery in the economy.

After the bell, Zynga (ZNGA.O) fell 6 percent after it posted a disappointing quarterly report.

With about three-quarters of the S& P 500 companies having reported, second-quarter earnings are estimated to have increased 1.6 percent while revenues are projected to have fallen 3.4 percent.

However, valuations look stretched. The S& P 500 is trading at a 25 percent premium to its historical median price-to-sales ratio, Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank said in a note to clients.

In Thursday' s session, declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a rate of 1.47 to 1. On the Nasdaq, that rate was 2.46 to 1 favoring decliners.

The S& P 500 index posted 18 new 52-week highs and 44 new lows the Nasdaq Composite saw 64 new highs and 169 new lows.

About 7.8 billion shares changed hands on all U.S. exchanges, well above an average 6.77 billion in the past five sessions, according to BATS Global Markets data.
