Origin Energy Rejects BG Group`s $13.3 Billion Takeover Bid
|
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) ? Origin Energy Ltd. [s; au:org], Australia`s largest coal seam gas producer, said Friday it board will recommend shareholders reject BG Group`s A$13.8 billion takeover bid ($13.3 billion), saying the offer does not adequately reflect the company`s assets and business prospects. In June Britain`s BG brought forward an A$15.50-per share hostile takeover bid, the same price it had offered in friendly talks held in May. Origin`s board rejected that earlier offer May 30 and invited proposals on how to develop the company`s coal seam gas reserves. Origin said in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange Friday its gas reserves estimates have risen significantly, crude oil prices have jumped 10% and higher valuations have been assigned to liquid-natural-gas projects since the original BG offer.

The U.S. market week may have been truncated by Independence Day, but it emphasized instead interdependence, whether between E.U. monetary policy and U.S. stocks; or Wall Street and Washington; or Israel`s foreign policy and the price of crude oil; or, staying in the commodities sphere, between the prices of sugar, corn and soybeans and, again, that of crude; or even Dick Grasso and the ultimate ignominy of his wayward foes.

Soleil Equity Research on Thursday upgraded its rating on shares of aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. to hold from a sell rating the broker placed on the stock at the end of May. Alcoa`s shares have fallen more than 20% to $32.78 in the past five weeks against close-to-9% drop in S&P 500, and ?the new, lower price justifies a hold rating, not a sell,?

S&P May Downgrade XL Capital`s Ratings
|
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) ? Standard & Poor`s Ratings Services on Thursday placed XL Capital Group`s ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications. ?The action was taken because of our concern that earnings, capitalization, and financial flexibility might be adversely affected by the uncertainty surrounding XL`s outstanding reinsurance agreements and guarantee of business underwritten by the operating subsidiaries of bond insurer Security Capital Assurance, or SCA, prior to the SCA IPO by XL in August 2006. The continued uncertainty of this exposure and the potential for material impairments in the investment portfolio support the rating action,? said Steven Ader, a credit analyst at S&P. The ratings agency believes that without a replenishment of capital, a charge exceeding $500 million would likely result in a lowering of the rating. S&P noted that one notch cut may be possible at the operating company level and up to two notches at the holding company. XL Capital Ltd. has a long-term rating of A- with a stable outlook.

S&P Downgrades Triad Four Notches On Paid Claim Uncertainty
|
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) ? Standard & Poor`s said Thursday it downgraded Triad Guaranty Inc. four notches because of ?tremendous? uncertainty about the firm`s ultimate paid claims. S&P cut its counterparty credit rating on Triad Guaranty Inc. to B- from BB, and its counterparty credit and financial strength ratings on Triad Guaranty Insurance Corp. to BB- from BBB. The ratings remain on review for a possible further downgrade. ?Significant operating losses in 2008 and 2009 will deplete a material portion of Triad`s capital base, but we believe Triad will be able to satisfy its policyholder obligations,? S&P said in a statement. ?The holding company faces some liquidity risk, but we expect that Triad`s ending book value will be significantly greater than its outstanding debt.?

Moody`s Cuts Toll Brothers To Junk Status On Weak Economy
|
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) ? Moody`s Investors Service on Thursday lowered Toll Brothers Inc.`s senior unsecured rating to non-investment grade of Ba1 from Baa3. At the same time, Moody`s confirmed the company`s Ba2 sub debt rating and assigned a corporate family rating of Ba1. The downgrade was prompted by weak economic and homebuilding industry trends and expectations that Toll Brothers` tower business in the Northeast, which has exhibited considerable strength to date, is likely to weaken. Tightening credit conditions and concerns whether the company can continue to generate earnings also contributed to the ratings cut, said Moody`s. The outlook is stable but Moody`s indicated that the homebuilder`s ratings or outlook could be lowered if certain negative conditions emerge.

S&P Cuts Marks & Spencer`s Outlook To Negative
|
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) ? Standard & Poor`s Ratings Services on Thursday revised its outlook on U.K.-based Marks & Spencer PLC to negative from stable. At the same time, S&P lowered its short-term corporate credit rating to A-3 from A-2. The outlook revision comes in the wake of Marks & Spencer`s weakening performance, especially at its food division. At the same time, the general merchandise division is facing a tough operating environment with intense price competition. ?Standard & Poor`s believes that the recovery in the company`s trading performance could be challenged by increasingly difficult trading conditions in the U.K. retail market as high levels of household indebtedness in the U.K. (mortgage debt accounted for nearly 60% of GDP in the second quarter of 2007, compared with about 40% for the Eurozone), high interest rates, restricted access to credit, and accelerating price inflation continue to weigh on consumers` disposal incomes,? said Marketa Horkova, an S&P credit analyst.
