Beacon Equity Research announces the release of Trade Alerts covering Market Movers:  Cablevision Systems Corp. (NYSE: CVC), SLM Corp. (NYSE: SLM), Fluor Corp. (NYSE: FLR), Xilinx Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX), Psychiatric Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: PSYS) and NII Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: NIHD).

 

In the Trade Alert, the author highlights Cablevision Systems’ substantial fourth-quarter loss on impairment charges:

 

Cablevision Systems Corp. (CVC) shares fell 2.70% to $12.95 in today’s early trading. Cablevision operates as a cable operator in the United States. It also operates cable programming networks, entertainment businesses and telecommunications companies. Cablevision Systems recently posted a hefty fourth-quarter loss after writing down the value of its Long Island-based newspaper Newsday by nearly two-thirds. The company also disclosed charges related to the shutdown of its Voom HD service in the United States. … For the fourth quarter, the Bethpage, New York-based company took a $402.4 million hit to reduce the value of Newsday on its books, resulting in a net loss of $321.4 million, or $1.11 per share. The company recorded a charge of $41 million for its discontinued high-definition network Voom.

 

The Trade Alert author also featured SLM’s declining shares on Obama's proposal to eliminate private lenders from the student-loan market:

SLM Corp. (SLM) shares plummeted 14.14%, trading at $4.98 in today’s early session. SLM, through its subsidiaries, provides education finance in the United States. It originates and holds student loans by providing funding, delivery and servicing support for education loans through its participation in the federal family education loan program (FFELP) and through offering non-federally guaranteed private education loans. Shares of the nation's leading provider of student loans, together with other student lenders, fell after President Obama proposed eliminating the role of private industry in the federal government's college loan program. … According to WSJ.com report, Obama proposed to eliminate private lenders from the student-loan market and have the federal government make all such loans directly. In his budget proposal for 2010, Obama said the shift to the Department of Education's so-called direct-lending program would save more than $4 billion a year in subsidies paid to private lenders and eliminate uncertainty for students.
