Nov. 19, 2007 -- Citigroup Inc.'s (NYSE: C) stock took another thumping Monday after Goldman Sachs estimated the bank will take as much as $15 billion in writedowns over the next two quarters and recommended selling the stock. Goldman analyst William Tanona also said Citigroup may have to cut its dividend to save money. When Citigroup CEO Charles Prince stepped down Nov. 4, Citigroup said it expected to write down $8 billion to $11 billion in the fourth quarter, following a writedown of more than $6 billion in the third quarter. Executives said at the time that Citigroup would not lower its dividend, even though its cash-to-debt ratios have fallen. But they did warn that writedowns could be more extensive if the credit markets worsen.

Nov. 19, 2007 -- Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) may report a loss of between $1 billion to $5 billion on its subprime AAA portfolio, Credit Suisse said on Monday, sending shares in the second-largest U.S. mortgage finance company sharply lower. "While Freddie's AAA subprime securities likely have substantial subordination, if the recent credit spread widening does not reverse over the coming quarters, we believe that Freddie could recognize an other-than-temporary impairment of between $1-5 billion," the brokerage said in a research note. The losses may force Freddie to sell some of its portfolio holdings or raise capital by issuing preferred stock, the note added. Freddie shares fell 8.6 percent to $37.24

Nov. 19, 2007 -- Hewlett-Packard Co.'s (NYSE: HPQ) fourth-quarter profit easily exceeded Wall Street's expectations Monday, bolstered by surging laptop sales and continued strong demand for highly profitable printer ink. The board of the Palo Alto-based computer and printer maker also authorized an additional $8 billion for stock buybacks, a sign the company believes its shares are undervalued. HP's net income leaped 28 percent in the three months ended Oct. 31, rising from $1.69 billion, or 60 cents per share, to $2.16 billion, or 81 cents per share. Excluding one-time charges, HP's profit was 86 cents per share, four cents higher than the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Financial.
