Beacon Equity Research announces the release of Trade Alerts covering Market Movers: Nalco Holding Co. (NYSE: NLC), Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK), Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT), Dynegy Inc. (NYSE: DYN), Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL) and Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL).
In the Trade Alert, the author highlights Nalco Holding’s board of directors declare a quarterly cash dividend of 3.5 cents per share payable April 3:
“Nalco Holding Co. (NLC) shares rose 5.43% to $11.66 Wednesday morning. Nalco provides water treatment and process improvement products and services to industrial and institutional customers worldwide. … The company recently announced its board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of 3.5 cents per share payable April 3, to shareholders of record as of March 16. … Nalco also reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. It said it swung to a loss of $473.4 million, or $3.45 per share, from a fourth-quarter 2007 profit of $31.1 million, or 22 cents per share. However, excluding goodwill impairment and restructuring charges, the company posted an adjusted profit from continuing operations of 36 cents per share, compared with an adjusted 24 cents per share in the 2007 quarter. The profit beat Wall Street predictions. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected a profit of 22 cents per share on $1.03 billion in revenue. Its revenue was flat at $1.03 billion for both periods.”
The Trade Alert author also featured Chesapeake Energy’s posting of a fourth-quarter loss amid falling natural gas prices:
“Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) shares fell 3.97% to $16.44 Wednesday morning. Chesapeake, an oil and natural gas exploration and production company, engages in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the production of crude oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs. … The company recently posted a fourth-quarter loss as tumbling natural gas prices forced the company to record a non-cash charge of $1.7 billion. Chesapeake said it lost $866 million, or $1.51 per share for the quarter ended December 31, compared with profit in the year-ago quarter of $158 million, or 33 cents per share. Discounting the charge and other one-time expenses, Chesapeake said it would have made $427 million, or 73 cents per share. Its revenue climbed nearly a third to $3 billion for the quarter from $2.1 billion. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected the company to post a profit of 74 cents on revenue of $2.58 billion. … Chesapeake said last month it would record the charge because of falling gas and oil prices. The company has slashed its budgets for drilling and acquiring land because of declining gas prices. It has also been raising billions by selling some of its rights to a portion of its natural gas deposits or through joint ventures.”
