(ASN)-Archstone-Smith Announces Results for the First Quarter of 2007
Same-Store Operating Performance Continues to Be Strong; Development Pipeline Grows by $540 Million

http://app.quotemedia.com/quotetools/popups/story.jsp

DENVER, May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Archstone-Smith (NYSE: ASN) today announced net earnings per share (EPS) of $1.27 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared with $0.58 per share reported for the same period in 2006. Funds from operations (FFO) for the first quarter of 2007 was $0.50 per share, which is the top end of the guidance previously provided by management.

Solid Same-Store Operating Performance Continues to Be Strong

Same-store revenues increased 6.4% in the first quarter of 2007, driven principally by strong revenue growth in Southern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, the New York City metropolitan area and Seattle -- which represent 57% of the company's portfolio. The company's same-store net operating income (NOI) grew 6.8% in the first quarter. 'Even with the rent increases we have seen over the past few years, renting an apartment remains a bargain relative to the cost of owning a home in our coastal, supply constrained markets,' said R. Scot Sellers, chairman and chief executive officer. 'As a result, we continue to expect strong operating performance this year.'

based on a few things:

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=7481

I called in about this stock a few times.


Dear Cramer, > (Or whoever does his reading)

This is my third letter in regards to FeulCell Energy. Whats a guy got to do to get a "BUY BUY BUY"? I have spoken with Ben a few times, about why I feel, this is the stock, that should make Cramer change his mind, as to the BEST under $10 speculative stock of the year. Bold statements make bold dollars, is where that last sentence originates !

Am I crazy Cramer? Or does this stock has more angles of play, then a "Fast Eddie Felson" behind the back, trick bank shot !

-My lead off hitter:
April 2, Supreme Court Ruling > Larry the dart throwing monkey saw that angle !

-They (FCEL), already BEFORE, the recent US Supreme Court ruling, begun to see revenues stemming from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund by selecting, 68 Megawatts of Projects of theirs.( I love talking GREEN Mega watts Cramer, My nickname is EnergyMan)

-It can be played at the Homeland Security level, from the technology they have that operates vital emergency centers and hospital in the time of crisis and disaster < the only time the word Disaster is involved in this stock !

- It is 60% held by institutional holders and sector specific index funds !
most with a average low turnover rating.
POSCO's 9%= stake, even has a LOCK up on it !

-It has MILD short squeeze potential > much like my first high school sweetheart !
19% shorted against the float

-Not ONE insider has sold a single option awarded stock, in almost a year ! do you think they saw good thing on the horizon !

-We are trading at only a few points above our 52wk low of $5.84

-Lazzard capital gave us a buy rating > for whats it's worth !

-The next financials the company release, should dramitcally reflect the new generated revenues or a projection of !

-The best for last > This company is such a tasty buy out candidate with it's technology considered a leader in the market !!! Big Boys might get jellous.

-This Jewl could tripple this year alone ! with reported new earnings


Am I nuts Cramer, or did I make a mistake holding on(and adding by the way) to it, when you told me to sell on the "lightnong Round" when I called in, to pick your masterful brain about it march 25Th ?

-I feel the impact of that April 2nd rulling, is felt the most, in this company right here, so far !

Allllll aboard !! or a CRASH Train Wreck in the making?

Complete Production Services Shares Jump After Reporting 68 Percent Rise in 1Q Profit

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of oilfield services provider Complete Production Services Inc. jumped Thursday after the company reported 68 percent growth in first-quarter profit.
The Houston-based company's stock rose $2.06, or 8.9 percent, to $25.28 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares have ranged between $17.20 and $28.43 over the past year.

Complete Production Services said Wednesday afternoon its first-quarter profit rose to $47.4 million, or 65 cents per share, from $28.1 million, or 48 cents per share, in the prior-year period. Revenue swelled to $407.1 million from $262.3 million.

Results beat Wall Street's overall expectations for 61 cents per share in quarterly earnings.

Morgan Keegan analyst J. Michael Drickamer wrote in a research note that strong performance from the company's completion and production segment offset a big dropoff in its drilling division, and called the results a "clean beat."

VLO - Valero 1Q Profit Increases 35 Percent
Thursday April 26, 9:05 am ET
Valero 1st-Quarter Net Income Climbs 35 Percent on Strength in Margins

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Valero Energy Corp., the nation's largest independent oil refiner, said Thursday its first-quarter profit jumped 35 percent on the back of stronger gasoline and distillate margins.

Net income rose to a first-quarter record $1.14 billion, or $1.86 per share, from $848 million, or $1.32 per share. Analysts were expecting earnings per share of $1.81, according to Thomson Financial. Average shares outstanding were reduced to 615 million from 644 million a year earlier.

Quarterly revenue declined 5.9 percent to $19.7 billion from $20.93 billion, Valero said. Analysts polled by Thomson were looking for $22.96 billion in revenues.

"We're off to a great start in 2007, as Valero earned the highest first-quarter profits in company history," said Bill Klesse, Valero's chairman and chief executive. "In addition to the strong margin environment, we benefited from the January commissioning of the expanded crude unit at the Port Arthur refinery, which increased overall throughput capacity at that refinery by 30,000 barrels per day to 325,000 barrels per day of sour crude oil."

Throughput margin rose to $12.06 per barrel in the most recent quarter from $10.11 a year earlier. Valero said margins are being supported by strong demand and industrywide factors that have limited supply, including more stringent product specifications, more complicated refining operations, logistics constraints, and tightness in labor and equipment for maintenance.

First-quarter operating income grew to $1.8 billion from $1.3 billion last year.

DO - Diamond Offshore 1Q Profit Up 54 Percent

Thursday April 26, 7:18 am ET
Diamond Offshore Drilling 1Q Profit Surges 54 Percent As Daily Rates for Rigs Climb

HOUSTON (AP) -- Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. on Thursday said first-quarter profit ballooned 54 percent, as the contract driller fetched sharply-higher daily rates for its rigs.
Net income increased to $224.2 million, or $1.64 per share (CHL edit: Average Analyst estimate Avg. Estimate 1.47, 11% greater than estimates), from $145.3 million, or $1.06 per share, in the year-earlier quarter.

Revenue climbed 36 percent to $608.2 million from $447.7 million a year ago as prices for and usage of some of the company's rigs increased.

Diamond said daily rates for its high-specification floaters increased to $280,000 from $189,000 in the same quarter last year. Other semisubmersible rigs also fetched sharply-higher rates, as did its fleet of jackup rigs.

Rig use was at 98 percent for high-specification floaters, but usage of other semisubmersibles and jackups declined year over year.

The results came in ahead of Wall Street's expectations. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial forecast earnings of $1.47 per share on revenue of $586.2 million.

Oil services evolves
Wednesday April 25, 3:17 pm ET

Drilling for oil is all about picking the right spot. In recent years, investors in oilfield services companies - which supply manpower and equipment to the oil majors - have not had to be too choosy about where they place their bets. That happy situation now may be coming to an end. As in any cyclical industry, valuation multiples have derated even as share prices have soared. Investors worry that new capacity will have a predictable effect on asset utilisation and pricing.

The unfolding first-quarter results season ought to lift their spirits, though. Industry leader Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) reported its seventh straight record quarter last week. On Wednesday, Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI) also beat expectations, albeit reduced ones following a weak fourth quarter in its North American business. America will remain a wildcard in the short-term, with gas prices being one volatile factor affecting demand for rigs.

More important in the longer term, however, is Baker's stronger showing abroad, where it raised guidance on sales growth. This reflects the reality of national oil companies (NOCs), particularly in the eastern hemisphere, controlling the bulk of global reserves. Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), which also reported results on Wednesday, has recognised this in deciding to shift its chief executive's office to Dubai.

Baker, Halliburton and Schlumberger, with their increasing focus outside America and the scale to serve the NOCs, are good bets. Drillers serving hard-to-reach areas such as deepwater fields, such as GlobalSantaFe (NYSE:GSF), also hold scarce assets. Two-thirds of floating rigs and drill ships being built are already contracted, mitigating the threat of new capacity in this sector.

The need to make oil fields work harder also favours specialists. EMGS, recently listed in Oslo, uses advanced technology to make the process of finding fields more accurate. That is valuable when the energy industry is stretched and must deploy resources carefully. Investors in oil services should now adopt the same approach.

Shares of Oil Services Providers Rally As Baker Hughes Surprises With Strong 1Q Profit

NEW YORK (AP) -- A strong first-quarter report and outlook from oil services provider Baker Hughes Inc. drove the company's shares sharply higher, pushing gains sector-wide on Wednesday.
Before the market's opening bell, Houston-based Baker Hughes said profit jumped 10 percent in the first quarter, topping Wall Street expectations. The company also projected full-year revenue will grow 7 percent in the U.S., with growth of roughly 20 percent in international markets.

Investors in the sector were disappointed a day earlier by a 7 percent drop in first-quarter earnings from BJ Services Co., sending shares of that company and its competitors down.

The sector rebounded Wednesday amid gains in the broader market.

Here's how some oil services stocks fared:

Baker Hughes climbed $5.71, or 7.8 percent, to $78.51.

BJ Services increased 99 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $29.71.

Halliburton Co., which is scheduled to report its quarterly results in the next day, saw its shares rise 48 cents to $31.57.

Shares of Schlumberger Ltd., whose own first-quarter profit was up 63 percent, added 41 cents at $75.21.

BP - BP First-Quarter Profit Fell 17% on Lower Oil Prices
Topics:Earnings
Sectors:Oil and Gas

Europe's second-largest oil company, reported a 17% drop in first-quarter earnings Tuesday on lower oil prices and declining production.

Net profit for the three months ending March 31 fell to $4.66 billion (3.43 billion euros) from $5.62 billion in the first quarter last year. Revenue declined 3% to $62.04 billion (46.7 billion euros).

BP was the first of the major European oil companies to report quarterly results, with most others also expected to record profit declines amid dwindling output and rising costs before a recovery in the second quarter. However, analysts said the results put BP at the bottom of the pack, particularly given its safety troubles in the United States.

"Faced as it is with reduced production and higher costs, lower oil prices and the ongoing barrage resulting from its earlier failures, its challenges are not yet over," said Hargreaves Lansdown analyst Richard Hunter.

Tony Hayward, the current head of exploration and production, has been charged with the task of reviving investor confidence in BP when he takes over as chief executive in the summer, replacing John Browne.

Safety Issues

Browne's annual performance bonus for last year was cut almost in half as oil spills and safety lapses in the United States overshadowed record profits for the oil company. He is stepping down by the end of July, more than a year ahead of the previously announced schedule.

BP Chairman Peter Sutherland told shareholders at the annual meeting earlier this month that the company is making "good progress" on safety issues following the 2005 Texas City refinery explosion that killed 15 workers and an Alaskan pipeline oil spill.

Sutherland said the company expected to make an announcement next month on the appointment of an independent safety expert, as recommended by an investigation led by U.S. Secretary of State James Baker.

Hunter said the market was "cautiously positive" about BP's earnings and outlook. Its shares rose 0.5% to 580.5 pence ($11.59; 8.55 euros) on the London Stock Exchange

Oil Production

BP's replacement cost profit -- which measures the amount it would cost to replace assets at current prices and is viewed by many analysts as the best measure of an oil company's underlying performance -- came it at $4 billion (2.95 billion euros), down 24% from last year but in line with analysts' expectations.

Total oil and gas production was lower as expected in the quarter, at 3.91 million barrels of oil equivalent a day, compared to 4.04 million per day a year earlier. The company said that Brent crude was down 7% on average over the quarter at $57.80 a barrel.

However, Citigroup said that industrywide average refining margins were up 44% in Northwest Europe and 27% in the U.S Gulf Coast. BP missed most of that increase because its Texas City refinery is still operating at 57% of capacity and its Whiting, Indiana, refinery began operating at half its capacity in late March.

The quarterly result included a net non-operating profit of $363 million (267.8 million euros), mostly due to the sale of its exploration and production and gas infrastructure business in the Netherlands and accounting gains related to North Sea contracts. The gain compared to a net non-operating charge of $17 million (12.54 million euros) for the same period last year.

The earnings also included the cost of BP's $1.1 billion (810 million euros) acquisition of Chevron's Dutch manufacturing company, which includes a 31% stake in the Nerefco refinery.

Saia 1Q Profit Advances 27 Percent,as the Company Overcomes Weak Freight Demand, Bad Weather

DULUTH, Ga. _ (AP) -- Less-than-truckload carrier Saia Inc. said Friday its first-quarter profit rose 27 percent, as the company overcame a difficult operating environment and bad weather.
The report sent shares of the company surging in morning trading.

Quarterly earnings increased to $3 million, or 21 cents per share, from $2.4 million, or 16 cents per share, during the same period last year. Revenue grew 13 percent to $231.8 million from $204.6 million. The results included a charge of $2.4 million, or 10 cents per share, related to integration expenses.

Revenue grew 13 percent to $231.8 million from $204.6 million last year.

SAIA Chief Executive Rick O'Dell called the results relatively pleasing, given difficult economic environment and the severe weather during the quarter. On top of severe winter storms in February and March, carriers across the country have faced weak freight demand, due mostly to a slowdown in residential home construction and production cuts by automakers.

Shares of Saia jumped $4.15, or 17 percent, to $28.96 on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange

WNR - Hearing Set for Giant, Western Deal
Tuesday April 17, 6:39 pm ET
Hearing Slated on Proposed Deal Between Giant, Western Refining

EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- A hearing is set May 7 in U.S. District Court in New Mexico over Western Refining Inc.'s proposed acquisition of Giant Industries Inc.
The two companies asked for the hearing after a request by the Federal Trade Commission earlier this month for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to halt Western Refining's $1.13 billion purchase of rival energy company Giant Industries.

The hearing is set for 9 a.m. before U.S. District Judge James Browning of Albuquerque.

The FTC contends the buyout would lead to reduced competition for the bulk supply of light petroleum products, including motor gasoline, to northern New Mexico, where the two companies are direct competitors.

"Western's acquisition of Giant would eliminate this competition, leading to higher prices for consumers of these important energy products," Jeffrey Schmidt, director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition, said last week.

Western agreed to buy Giant last August for $83 per share in a deal worth $1.5 billion including $280 million in assumed debt. It lowered its bid to $77 per share in November because of Giant's disappointing financial performance after fires temporarily disabled two refineries.

Giant Industries shareholders voted to approve the transaction on Feb. 27, but the deal is subject to the pending FTC litigation.

Western Refining, with headquarters in El Paso, is an independent crude oil refiner and marketer of refined products. It operates primarily in the Southwest.

Giant, with headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz., is a refiner and marketer of petroleum products. It owns two New Mexico crude oil refineries and one in Virginia; a crude oil gathering pipeline system based in Farmington, N.M.; finished products distribution terminals in Albuquerque, N.M., and Flagstaff, Ariz.; a fleet of crude oil and finished product truck transports and a chain of retail service station and convenience stores in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona.

Trimeris HIV Drug Sales Grow 16 Percent
Tuesday April 17, 4:47 pm ET
Trimeris Sales Increase 16 Percent for HIV Drug Fuzeon Driven by Growth Outside the U.S.


MORRISVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Biopharmaceutical company Trimeris Inc. said sales of its HIV drug Fuzeon increased 16 percent in the first quarter, driven by growth outside the U.S.
First-quarter net sales of the drug grew to $64.3 million, from $55.4 million a year ago.

Sales outside the U.S. and Canada jumped 25 percent to $35 million, from $28 million in the prior year.

Fuzeon's sales within the U.S and Canada increased 7 percent to $29.3 million, from $27.4 million a year ago.

Acting President and Chief Operating Officer E. Lawrence Hill said North American sales of Fuzeon decreased from the fourth quarter, due to wholesaler stocking during the first quarter. He said inventory levels at U.S. wholesalers returned to normal levels during the first quarter.

Trimeris shares jumped 21 cents, or 3.2 percent, to close at $6.74 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The stock, which reached a 52-week high of $13.85 in February has since fallen, most recently in mid-March on news that its chief executive and chief financial officer retired

MIR TXU DYN - Mirant Explores Its Options (MIR,TXU,DYN)
Friday 04/13/2007 2:06 PM ET - Investopedia
Mirant Corporation (NYSE: MIR ) announced earlier this week that it hired J.P. Morgan to assist it in exploring strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the company. The company first caught the attention of value investors in January of last year when it emerged from bankruptcy protection. Since then, it has been considered a leading takeover target in the increasingly attractive power sector.

The Making of a Target

Many shareholders also began pressuring Mirant to begin selling off its assets last July in order to improve the company's finances and convert it into more of a pure-play U.S. power producer. Since then, the company agreed to sell its Philippine assets to an investor consortium for $3.4 billion in December. A month later, it sold six natural-gas-fired plants to a New York private equity firm for $1.41 billion. And now, the company is in the process of selling several Caribbean power assets in a $1.1 billion sale that it hopes to close by mid-year.

These transactions left the company with an attractive market position. They also left a significant amount of excess cash that can be returned to shareholders through a buyback or dividend, retained by the company for its operations, or used as incentive for a possible suitor. Given the average buyout premiums recently, along with the company's openness to a buyout, many traders and investors are watching the last option closely!

The Prospect of a Buyout

Buyout interest among U.S. power producers has been steadily increasing since the power market's collapse spurred by Enron's bankruptcy in 2001. Notably, TXU Corporation (NYSE: TXU ) received a $45 billion buyout offer from private equity firm KKR and TPG, that raised valuations for power plant assets and fueled speculation about further acquisitions in the sector. Meanwhile, Pirate Capital and other large shareholders have also been pressuring the company to pursue a sale.

What can be expected from a buyout? Well, the TXU buyout by KKR is the most similar and recent transaction that we can analyze to get an idea of what to expect. KKR's bid for TXU came in at a 15% premium to its prior close at the time and a 25% premium to the stock's average trading price over the previous 20 days.

Recently, TXU also reportedly solicited interest from more than 70 potential buyers and provided detailed financial information to nine of them who were considering rival bids. Using these metrics, along with the company's intrinsic valuation , a buyout would likely value Mirant at around $13 billion or $54 a share or higher.

We also know that there are a number of parties that may be interested in acquiring the company. Many analysts believe that power merchant companies may be the best suitors for Mirant. These strategic buyers could include Dynegy Energy (NYSE: DYN ) and NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG ) with a third possible candidate being Reliant Energy (NYSE: RRI ). The company could also attract private equity groups and banks that have been aggressively pursuing deals in the power sector recently. (For further reading check out, The Wacky World of M&As .)

Overall, Mirant is definitely a company to watch -- excess cash and buyout interests combined with activist hedge funds (like Pirate Capital) pushing for sale of the company can never be a bad thing!

WNR - US judge temporarily bars Western-Giant deal
Fri Apr 13, 2007 7:46pm ET

WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - A federal judge in New Mexico granted U.S. anti-trust authorities a restraining order on Friday temporarily barring oil refiner Western Refining Inc. (WNR.N: Quote, Profile , Research) from completing its proposed acquisition of rival Giant Industries Inc. (GI.N: Quote, Profile , Research)

A district judge agreed to issue the temporary restraining order after a court hearing, putting the deal on hold while the Federal Trade Commission makes its case for an injunction against the deal, a court clerk said.

The hearing came the day after the FTC filed a complaint with the court challenging the merger on the grounds that it would reduce competition for the supply of gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel in northern New Mexico.

Western and Giant have said their $1.13 billion deal is pro-competitive and have vowed to fight the agency in court to preserve it.

A temporary restraining order is granted by federal judges in most cases like this to give anti-trust authorities the chance to lay out their arguments against a merger.

Western Refining agreed to pay $77 per share for Giant in a pact that would create an independent refiner and marketer with capacity of about 216,000 barrels per day largely in Virginia, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.

TSO VLO SUN - April 16 (Reuters) - Citigroup said it lowered refiners Valero Energy Corp. (VLO.N: Quote, Profile , Research) and Tesoro Corp. (TSO.N: Quote, Profile , Research) to "hold" from "buy", saying recent strong performances had eroded much of their value proposition.

Citigroup, which has a $71 price target on Valero, said cash directed towards share buybacks and strong near-term earnings momentum may provide a short-term boost for shares.

The brokerage raised its price target on Tesoro to $120 from $112, but said that investment attraction had been eroded by the 70 percent absolute increase in value since the beginning of the year. Citigroup said its preferred pick in the sector was Sunoco Inc. (SUN.N: Quote, Profile , Research). The brokerage kept its "buy" rating and raised its price target on the stock to $90 from $85, adding that while shares have performed well, performance has lagged its peers.

Canada's Cott Confirms Interest In Cadbury's Beverage Arm
Friday 04/13/2007 8:30 PM ET - Dow Jones News
TORONTO ( AP )Canada's Cott Corp. (COT) confirmed Friday it is talking with interested parties about a merger with the beverage arm of Cadbury Schweppes PLC (CSG) to create a stronger rival to Coca-Cola Co. (KO) and PepsiCo Inc. (PEP).
Cott makes private-label soft drinks for retailers like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT). Cadbury Schweppes PLC has announced plans to split its drinks and candy operations this summer.
Cadbury's drinks business is expected to be valued at as much as US$15.8 billion.
"Following the recent announcement by Cadbury Schweppes PLC regarding the separation of its confectionery and Americas Beverage business, Cott has responded to interested parties that have approached the company, and is exploring the potential benefits of participating in possible industry consolidation," Cott said in a statement.
"While the board of directors of Cott is supportive of these exploratory discussions, there has been no decision regarding a change in strategy."
The Cadbury Schweppes bottling group has 9,000 employees and 10 factories in the U.S., making products including Sunkist, Canada Dry and A&W root beer, in addition to Dr Pepper and 7Up.
A merger of Cadbury Schweppes beverages with Toronto-headquartered Cott - already the world's third-largest maker of carbonated soft drinks - would appear to create a more significant rival for Coke and Pepsi.
But a U.K.-based beverage consultant raised questions about how operations outside North America would dovetail.
"They would not immediately appear to be an automatically natural fit," said Richard Hall, chairman of Zenith International, a European food and beverage consulting firm.
"The contrasts are greater than the synergies, other than in North America itself and possibly Mexico. It all depends on the price. At a premium price, I would have thought the complications outweigh the synergies."
Hall said Cadbury Schweppes drinks are marketed as strong brands, and the company has divested almost all its beverage holdings outside North America. In contrast, Cott manufactures store-brand drinks and is seeking to expand outside North America, with significant operations in the U.K. and potential forays into the burgeoning Chinese market.
Hall also noted that the potential synergies would be in the carbonated drinks sector, which is in decline.
"Neither company has particular strengths in water, juice, sports and energy drinks, which are the faster-growing area of the market."
The Cadbury Schweppes drinks are not colas that compete directly with Coke and Pepsi, while Cott makes discounted imitations aimed straight at Coke and Pepsi drinkers.
Cott has been closing factories and restructuring to reduce costs amid falling demand for carbonated soft drinks.
In February, it reported a fourth-quarter net loss of US$29.6 million compared with a year-earlier loss of US$6.9 million, as sales declined 1.4% excluding foreign-exchange effects. > Dow Jones Newswires
