<<---- MARKET TALK: Chicago Bridge's View Might Be Bridge Too Far

04/16 10:29 AM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:29 EDT - Saying LNG isn't looking much like a boon for Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI:$52.33,00$-0.22,00-0.42%) , Macquarie downgrades the engineering-and-construction firm to underweight and reduces estimates amid anticipated backlog declines. Noting contract losses and delays to potential projects, the investment bank says CBI's forecast of gaining $7-10B of liquefied-natural-gas work "is increasingly too optimistic." Meanwhile, "given that we think backlog growth is the principal driver of valuation in the space, we think weak new awards, combined with a pickup in revenue burn from nuclear, will provide challenging headwinds." Macquarie cuts its price target to $44 from $57; CBI is down slightly amid the broad market's climb at $52.51. It's off 15% this month after hitting a 5-year high in late March.

<<~~~ clickback: Chicago Bridge & Iron 1st-Quarter Profit Fell 44% Amid Acquisition-Related Expenses

05/02 04:20 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.'s (CBI:$53.63,00$1.34,002.56%) first-quarter earnings fell 44% amid expenses from its recent $3.04 billion acquisition of Shaw Group Inc. and other items. However, excluding those items adjusted earnings were up as revenue surged.

The engineering and construction company has posted stronger results every quarter for two years as it won contracts for large infrastructure and engineering projects and worked to diversify its offerings in areas like electric-power generation--a market where demand has been growing.

CB&I's recent Shaw acquisition creates one of the world's biggest energy infrastructure companies. The combined company, to be called CB&I Shaw, will be involved in everything from building nuclear power plants in the U.S. and China to constructing gas-processing plants and oil storage tanks globally. The move also was expected to help reduce CB&I's revenue volatility, in part because Shaw gets more of its money from relatively stable and predictable work such as providing maintenance and retrofitting services to the power industry.

President and Chief Executive Philip K. Asherman said "Revenues are performing as expected and despite the postponement of a major LNG project in Australia, we anticipate that continuing demand around the world for energy infrastructure will drive our new awards for 2013 to be within the guidance range we announced earlier this year."

CB&I reported a profit of $33.6 million or 32 cents a share, down from $59.5 million, or 60 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding items such as acquisition-related charges, adjusted earnings grew to 82 cents a share from 60 cents. Revenue soared 87% to $2.25 billion.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently projected earnings of 73 cents a share on revenue of $2.18 billion.

Gross margin fell to 10.9% from 12.8%.

The project engineering, construction and maintenance business reported revenue more than doubled to $1.43 billion.

New awards rose 15% to $1.9 billion. Backlog was $25.5 billion, up from $10.93 billion.

Shares were down eight cents at $53.55 in recent after-hours trading.

<<....Analyst Actions: Chicago Bridge & Iron Target Lifted $2, Keeps Neutral at Credit Suisse

05/07 02:30 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

02:30 PM EDT, 05/07/2013 (MidnightTrader) -- Credit Suisse says: "Ironing Out a Good Quarter; Raising Estimates and Target Price to $60 (from $58)."

Thgts Post Call: "CBI put up a nice first quarter reporting EPS of $0.82 (ex- charges related to the Shaw acquisition) well ahead of the street est of $0.74 per share. As expected, CBI reiterated its '13 EPS guidance of $4.00-$4.35. We were surprised CBI maintained its award forecast of $13B-$16B despite putting up only $1.95B in the first qrtr and after recent award losses of Yamal and Cove Point and Browse pushed to the right. We see this as a likely risk and assume CBI eventually cuts its award target. This is likely an overhang on the stock as well as the potential for funding cuts related to the MOX project although we see this as more of a 2014 event. On the positive, CBI maintains both the Vogtle and Summer nuclear projects are progressing as planned. Longer term, CBI remains every well positioned to benefit from petrochemical spend in North America, in particular with Lummus, as well as US LNG. We suspect CBI can use Shaw's LA connection to participate in some part of Shell and Sasol GTL project. We tweak our FY2013-2015 to $4.00, $5.05 and $5.75 (from $3.90, $4.75 and $5.50). Our price target of $60 (from $58) assumes 11.5x our 2015 EPS discounted back. We reiterate our Neutral rating at these levels."

Details on 2013 Guide: "CBI reiterated its '13 guidance provided in at the analyst day of $4.00-$4.35/share on revenues of $10.7-$11.2B. By segment, EC&M margins are forecast at 4%-7%, Fabrication margins of 8%-11%, Gov't Solutions margins of 3%-6% and technology income of $125M. With Shaw SG&A is forecast to come down to 3.8% of sales and after tax restructuring of $55-70M. The tax rate excluding restructuring is forecast at 32% and intangible asset amortization of $40-42M."

Price: 56.50, Change: +0.20, Percent Change: +0.4
