Under the Radar: Wild HOGs

Notable behemoths such as J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Intel Inc., and Google Inc. will dominate investor chatter during next week?s overloaded earnings calendar. But one good barometer for both the state of the credit markets and the American consumer will come Thursday, when Harley-Davidson Inc. reports its quarterly results.

The company, which makes the well-known motorcycles that in some ways represent the ultimate consumer discretionary item, is expected to report earnings of 77 cents a share for the first quarter, compared with 74 cents a share at this time a year ago. But analysts have expressed concern both about sales trends and about its ability to garner financing from the credit markets, as it relies on securitizing loans to raise money to fund its financial services arm ? which provides those loans, a good lot of which go to subprime borrowers.

The company, unlike others, was able to sell securitized loans in the first quarter, according to UBS analysts, but instead of $700 million to $800 million, the company tried to sell $540 million, and had to retain some of those loans on their balance sheet. "Tapping into additional funding sources at a time when the credit markets are in turmoil may be more challenging, and the result may not be factored into Harley-Davidson earnings estimates across the Street," they wrote in a commentary. The brokerage lowered 2008 estimate for HOG to $3.53 a share from $3.65 a share, in part due to expectations for increased credit losses.

Sales issues abound as well ? Raymond James analysts say "dealers indicated that the market for new motorcycles continues to be soft compared to a year ago," particularly in Florida and California, the top two states for Harley sales in the U.S. They expect better sales than the 14.2% decline in the fourth quarter of 2007, but worse than the 5.9% decline in the first quarter of 2007.

Tack spx970. Tror nog att ditt namn kommer va på allas läppar efter valet i höst :). Vinstprognoserna är väl fortfarande ganska höga förutom bankerna då så frågan är om lågkonjukturen redan nu kommer att visa sej i kv1 earnings eller om det tar till kv2 siffror redovisas. Du som följer enskilda bolag i usa, är aktiekurserna redan nedtryckta eller finns det utrymme på nedsidan vid missade vinst förväntningar även vid måttliga missar? Tänker då på de stora bolagen som rapporterar som kan påverka både index och humöret i övrigt.

Är man för våghalsig om man tar neg pos redan på måndag med förhoppningar om att bolagens vinster redan vid kv1 har påverkats negativt? Tar kv2 annars :)

April 14 (Bloomberg) -- Wachovia Corp., the fourth-largest U.S. bank, reported an unexpected loss because of subprime- infected mortgage holdings, cut its dividend and said it will raise about $7 billion in a share sale to replenish capital.

Chief Executive Officer Kennedy Thompson said he was ``deeply disappointed'' after Wachovia posted its first quarterly loss since 2001 and reduced the dividend to preserve $2 billion of capital. The company's market value has dropped 50 percent since its $24.6 billion takeover of Golden West Financial Corp. in 2006 at the peak of the housing market.

``The most painful decision was to reduce the dividend because it adversely affects our shareholders,'' Thompson said in today's statement. ``But we believe the long-term benefit to shareholder value outweighs the disadvantage of the dividend reduction as we fortify our balance sheet against continued instability in the housing and capital markets.''

Nja, utdelningspolicy ska ses som en långsiktig signal till aktieägarna och överges mycket motvilligt. Signalen ska nog tolkas att det kommer att bli utdelning de närmaste åren men mer återhållsam än hittills tror jag och att det som skett är en engångsföreteelse. En 0 utdelning hade nog tolkats som att det under en längre period inte skulle ske en utdelning samt långvariga problem.

Goldman Says `Awful' Profits Will Drag Down S&P 500

``Early signs are awful,'' a team led by David Kostin, Goldman's New York-based U.S. investment strategist, wrote in a report today. ``We expect generally disappointing results and a swath of lowered profit guidance that will drive the Standard & Poor's 500 Index lower in coming weeks.''

Kostin, 44, said last month that the S&P 500 may fall to 1,160 in the ``near term'' before rebounding to 1,380 by December, making Kostin among the most bearish Wall Street strategists tracked by Bloomberg. His year-end forecast implies a 6 percent annual decline, the biggest drop predicted by Goldman, which outmaneuvered competitors last year by profiting from the mortgage-backed securities market's slump, since Bloomberg began tracking the data in 2000.

J&J Profit Rises on Consumer Sales, Exchange Rates

 While worldwide revenue rose to $16.2 billion, 5.1 percent of the gain was due to favorable currency exchange rates, J&J said. A year earlier, the company wrote off $807 million, or 28 cents a share, because of research costs related to the acquisition stent maker Conor MedSystems.

J&J raised its 2008 earnings forecast to $4.40 to $4.45 a share, from a January projection of $4.39 to $4.44, excluding research and development charges or other special items.

Washington mutuel sämre än väntat  - 1,40

 Borrowing cost går ner

aktien stiger just nu med 1,5%

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Washington Mutual Inc reported a big first-quarter net loss late Tuesday as the lender suffered from the mortgage meltdown and broader credit crunch. The Seattle-based company lost $1.14 billion, or $1.40 a share, in the period, vs. net income of $784 million, or 86 cents a share, during the first quarter of 2007. WaMu said it set aside $3.51 billion of provisions to cover potential loan losses as the economy weakens and home values continue to slide. That's more than double the amount the lender set aside in the fourth quarter of 2007. The company also said it closed a previously announced deal to raise $7 billion from a group of investors led by private-equity firm Texas Pacific Group. WaMu shares climbed 1.3% to $10.81 during after-hours trading on Tuesday

 JPMorgan Net Drops 50%, Matching Analysts' Estimates

``In this environment, being able to post earnings as they did is I think all-in good news,'' Charles Bobrinskoy, vice chairman of Ariel Capital Management LLC in Chicago, which owned more than 611,000 JPMorgan shares as of Dec. 31, said in a Bloomberg Television interview.

JPMorgan, which has posted about $10 billion of writedowns and losses since the beginning of last year, is now grappling with a sagging labor market that has hurt clients' ability to pay credit cards and consumer loans on time. The company set aside $1.1 billion in the first three months of 2008 for future home- equity loan defaults, after boosting those provisions by $395 million in the fourth quarter.

``Our expectation is for the economic environment to continue to be weak and for the capital markets to remain under stress,'' Dimon, 52, said in the statement.

April 16 (Bloomberg) -- Wells Fargo & Co., the biggest bank on the U.S. West Coast, said first-quarter profit fell less than analysts estimated as the company limited losses from the decline in California home prices. The bank rose 7.5 percent in New York trading. 

``This bank has the most conservative credit culture of any major bank and the strongest sales culture,'' said Robert Millen, a fund manager at Portland, Oregon-based Jensen Investment Management Inc., which held 3.3 million Wells Fargo shares as of Dec. 31. ``They've not gotten too much into these exotic instruments that are causing problems at so many other big banks.''

FED: EKONOMIN HAR FÖRSVAGATS SEDAN FEBRUARI - BEIGE BOOK

STOCKHOLM (Direkt) Den amerikanska ekonomin har
försvagats sedan i februari på grund av en "anemisk"
husmarknad och nedgången i den amerikanska konsumtionen.
Det skriver Federal Reserve i sin regionala
konjunkturrapport, Beige Book.
"Det ekonomiska tillståndet har försvagats sedan den
senaste rapporten. Nio distrikt noterade en svagare takt i
den ekonomiska aktiviteten, medan de resterade tre
(distrikten) beskrev aktiviteten (i ekonomin) som blandad
eller stadig", uppger centralbanken.
Konsumenternas spenderande försvagades i de flesta
distrikten under perioden, enligt rapporten.
Detaljhandeln, exklusive bilhandeln, rapporterade att
försäljningen var svag eller sjunkande i 10 distrikt, heter
det vidare.
När det gäller arbetsmarknaden har de flesta av
distrikten haft en svagare utveckling jämfört med den senaste
Beige Book-rapporten. Dock har ett par distrikt noterat brist
på utbildade/erfarna arbetstagare och vissa distrikt har
noterat ett lönetryck.
Husmarknaden och husbyggandet förblev svagt i hela
USA.
Beige Book-rapporterna publiceras 8 gånger om året
och den senaste var den 5 mars, som täckte perioden fram till
den 25 februari.
Onsdagens rapport gäller perioden 25 februari och 7

Merrill Reports Loss on $6.5 Billion of Writedowns

``The current environment is still tough,'' said Rose Grant, managing director in the investment-advisory division of Boston-based Eastern Bank Corp., which owns about 66,000 Merrill shares. ``People are still reluctant to buy certain types of assets, and I don't think we'll see the end of that until later this year.''

Harley Net Falls 2.5% on U.S. Sales; Job Cuts Planned

April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Harley-Davidson Inc., the biggest U.S. motorcycle maker, said first-quarter profit fell 2.5 percent as U.S. sales declined. The Milwaukee-based company also predicted 2008 earnings per share will drop as much as 20 percent as it cuts jobs and reduces shipments to dealers.

``They are at the epicenter of a perfect storm: higher energy prices, weak consumer spending and unfavorable credit conditions for consumers,'' said Richard DeKaser, chief economist at National City Corp. in Cleveland. Harley's product ``is a discretionary item,'' he said.

Live-Blogging the Citigroup Earnings Call

On Earnings Visibility:

9:48 a.m.: [Meredith Whitney of Oppenheimer & Co.] wants to know about "earnings visibility" for the rest of the year, noting that the firm is going to have "persistent restructuring charges and sort of more moving parts than less moving parts." She wants to know when "you think you?re going to turn the corner."

Mr. Crittenden first notes that if reduced values on certain assets were removed, "revenues would have been roughly flat." He notes that the environment is rough ? increases in credit-card losses, poor housing fundamentals and rising unemployment. "We are in unprecedented territory from a real-estate standpoint," he says.

Mr. Crittenden continues. "We could, in fact, be facing head winds ... and we are dedicated to ongoing reengineering ... we?re going to try and operate the business in such a way that provides some consistency going forward but nonetheless you?re right in what you said about noise. Operating leverage is going to be a difficult thing to measure us on for awhile." He says that difficulty will come from the continued divesture of businesses, and "that?s a lumpy process almost by definition.

"There?s no assurance that the amount of marks that we have taken in this quarter are finished. We?re three quarters into this. I think we have substantially reduced our amount of risk but there?s also the prospect that you could have additional marks, and that throws the calculation of that number pretty much out the window. What I would say is that I think you should hold us accountable for a couple things that we make significant progress on headcount and that we make significant progress that is discernible in our numbers on expenses."

Concerns emerged this week that some banks may have been under-reporting the rate at which they've been lending to each other. Any sign of sharply higher inter-bank lending rates could in theory suggest banks are too financially weak to lend much money. Under-reporting such rates would avoid that appearance.

Citigroup Shareholders' Relief May Not Last as Capital Dwindles

``We're in a recession, they have a huge consumer book, and there's huge double-digit-billion provisions that they're going to have to take in the next 18 months to two years,'' CreditSights Inc. analyst David Hendler said. ``They're undercapitalized for their risk.''

...

Asked yesterday if the bank might seek an additional infusion, Crittenden said, ``You can never say never.''

 ``This is a difficult business environment,'' Crittenden said on a conference call with analysts and investors. ``There are no easy solutions here, no silver bullets.''
