Del Monte Stock Upgraded

Posted by admin On June - 11 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Fitch Ratings upgraded Del Monte Foods Co. (DLM) nearly to investment grade, citing significant improvement in its credit statistics and operating fundamentals during the past two years.

Fitch said the company–known for its namesake fruit and vegetable brand–could be moved to investment grade if it maintains operating margins of 12.5% to 13%, has strong free cash flow and avoids large debt-financed acquisitions and share repurchases during the next 12 to 18 months.

Del Monte got a one-notch increase to BB+, one step below investment grade, and the outlook is positive, meaning further upgrade isn’t out of the question. Earlier this year, Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services both upgraded Del Monte’s ratings one notch to two steps below investment grade.

Suntrust Bank Stock Upgraded STI

Posted by admin On June - 9 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

The recent decline for shares of SunTrust Banks Inc. has made the stock more affordable, said an analyst who upgraded his rating of the Atlanta-based bank on Tuesday.

THE OPINION: Stifel Nicolaus analyst Christopher Mutascio noted SunTrust shares were down 23 percent from a recent peak in mid-May, bigger than the pullback of 17 percent to 18 percent for indexes of comparable bank stocks. He upgraded the stock to “Hold” from “Sell,” citing “the recent and significant share price weakness.” Mutascio, who had cut his rating of the stock on Jan. 25, noted Stifel Nicolaus no longer has any “Sell” ratings for the large-cap bank stocks that the firm covers.
