Zynga shares halted twice in volatile trade

Stock Market Predictions

NEW YORK (Global Markets) - Shares in social gaming company Zynga Inc (ZNGA.O), which generates the majority of its revenue from Facebook, were halted twice in volatile trading on Friday as the stock jumped around on the same day as Facebook Inc's (FB.O) debut.

Shares of Zynga were down 5.6 percent to $7.80 a share, having hit an earlier low of $7.08 a share, which triggered an automatic halt due to the fluctuation in its price.

Shoe retailers to benefit from tight inventory control

Shoe retailers to benefit from tight inventory control

Stock Market Predictions

(Global Markets) - The warmest U.S. winter in years fueled higher sales at footwear retailers Brown Shoe Inc (BWS.N) and Foot Locker Inc (FL.N), and the companies are expected to benefit from tight inventory management in the next few quarters.

The warmer weather helped drive sales at many retailers of footwear and sporting goods, including Hibbett Sports Inc (HIBB.O) and Dick's Sporting Goods Inc (DKS.N), which posted better-than-expected quarterly results earlier this week.

Shares of Brown Shoe were up 19 percent at $10.44, while those of Foot Locker were up 10 percent at $30.84. The stocks were among the top percentage gainers on Friday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange.

Strong demand for athletic footwear is likely to spur sales at Foot Locker, Canaccord Genuity analyst Camilo Lyon said.

Brown Shoe also said sales of running shoes and sandals were strong in the first quarter.

"The whole light weight running product category is just terrific," Brown Shoe Chief Executive Diane Sullivan told Global Markets.

Brown Shoe, which has introduced several new styles and brands in recent years to attract younger shoppers, said sales of its contemporary fashion brands rose about 21 percent during the quarter.

Sullivan expects sales of fashion footwear to remain strong for at least another 12-18 months.

"I am either in my athletic shoes, or a great pair of heels or a wedge," Sullivan said.

Foot Locker and Brown Shoe have also kept lean inventories, which could boost margins.

"(Inventory management) bodes well for product margins in the second and third quarter," CL King analyst Steven Marotta said about Brown Shoe.

Inventory at Brown Shoe was down 4.1 percent compared to last year.

Foot Locker, which sells branded shoes of Nike (NKE.N), Reebok and Adidas (ADSGn.DE), posted first-quarter net income of 83 cents per share, handily beating analysts' expectations of 74 cents per share, according to Thomson Global Markets I/B/E/S.

Brown Shoe, which owns the Naturalizer brands, posted an adjusted net income of 23 cents per share, while analysts had expected 9 cents per share.

Gap raises profit outlook, shares rise

Gap raises profit outlook, shares rise

Stock Market Predictions

(Global Markets) - Gap Inc (GPS.N) raised its yearly profit forecast, prompted by first-quarter earnings that topped Wall Street estimates and rising sales, and its shares rose 8 percent after hours.

For the full year, Gap estimated earnings of $1.78 to $1.83 a share, above the $1.75 to $1.80 it forecast in February.

"It's important to remain measured in our outlook given that our biggest selling seasons are still ahead of us," said Chief Financial Officer Sabrina Simmons.

Given the first quarter beat, "the current forecast does appear to be conservative," said Betty Chen, an analyst with Wedbush Securities.

She said that while the company appeared to be on the right track, "We're all waiting to see some sustainability."

For the first quarter ended April 28, the owner of the Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic chains earned $233 million, or 47 cents a share, compared with $233 million, or 40 cents a share, a year ago.

Analysts, on average, had been expecting Gap to earn 46 cents a share, according to Thomson Global Markets I/B/E/S.

After years of being accused of selling boring clothes, Gap has regained an edge in fashion, following a prolonged turnaround that included a change in top management.

The company's spring merchandise is selling well, and its website has been revamped.

Gap, the third biggest clothes retailer in the world after Zara owner Inditex (ITX.MC), and H&M owner Hennes & Mauritz AB (HMb.ST), had preannounced that sales rose 6 percent to $3.49 billion, while comparable store sales were up 4 percent.

During the quarter, sales at established North American stores rose 5 percent each for the Gap and Banana Republic brands. Sales at Old Navy stores rose 4 percent, the company said.

Gap shares rose to $28.50 after the bell. They closed down 2.9 percent at $26.31 on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange.

Burkle funds distributing some Barnes & Noble stock

Burkle funds distributing some Barnes & Noble stock

Stock Market Predictions

(Global Markets) - Shares of bookseller Barnes & Noble Inc (BKS.N) fell as much as 12 percent on Thursday after its second-largest shareholder, billionaire investor Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Cos, said two of its funds were distributing some shares of the stock.

In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Yucaipa, which has more than 19 percent of the stock, said that two of its funds would distribute shares of the stock.

The filing did not say how many shares were involved or to whom they were being distributed. A Yucaipa spokesman could not be reached for comment.

A Barnes & Noble spokeswoman declined to comment on the filing.

A source close to Yucaipa said that the funds were distributing some shares to investors in the funds. The source did not say who the recipients were or how many shares were involved.

The move comes barely two weeks after Barnes & Noble reached an agreement under which Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) would invest $605 million over five years in the bookseller's Nook e-reader and college textbook business.

The April 30 deal sent Barnes & Noble shares up 52 percent in one day to $20.75, a big boost to Burkle's stake.

Barnes & Noble shares closed down $1.61 at $16.75 on Thursday, after falling as low as $16.10 earlier.

MGIC sues Freddie Mac in insurance dispute

MGIC sues Freddie Mac in insurance dispute

Stock Market Predictions

(Global Markets) - Mortgage insurer MGIC Investment Corp (MTG.N) has sued mortgage financier Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) and the Federal Housing Finance Administration to settle a dispute over coverage limits on certain insurance policies.

MGIC said on Thursday it filed the suit in federal court in Wisconsin. The disagreement has been going on for some time, and centers on loss limits on policies that insure Freddie Mac, the No. 2 provider of U.S. mortgage money.

MGIC said in April that it believes the loss limit decreases as policies lapse, while Freddie asserts that the initial limit remains in place until the last of the policies expires.

The difference in the two interpretations, the company said, is about $535 million. Had MGIC used Freddie Mac's interpretation when calculating its results, the company said its losses would have more than tripled in the first quarter.

A Freddie Mac spokeswoman was not immediately available to comment. In a statement, MGIC said it was open to resolving the dispute out of court and that it intended to keep working with Freddie Mac on other matters outside of the court case.

Shares in MGIC fell 9 percent to $2.33 in late trading, their lowest level in about six months.

Intelsat Global files for $1.75 billion IPO

Intelsat Global files for $1.75 billion IPO

Stock Market Predictions

(Global Markets) - Intelsat Global Holdings S.A., the world's biggest operator of satellite services, filed with U.S. regulators on Friday to raise up to $1.75 billion in an initial public offering of its common stock.

The company filed for its IPO on a day Facebook Inc's eagerly awaited debut fell short of expectations.

Technology stocks have had a good run in an otherwise lackluster IPO market, and companies such as Audience Inc and Millennial Media Inc have benefited from the market's soft spot on their debut.

Payday lender Community Choice Financial Inc and energy company New Source Energy Corp pulled their prospective offerings over the past two weeks as market conditions remained unpromising.

Luxembourg-based Intelsat told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in a preliminary prospectus that Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley were underwriting the IPO.

Intelsat posted net loss of $400 million on revenue of $2.6 billion for the year ended December 31, according to the regulatory filing.

The company, which had operated as an intergovernmental organization for more than 30 years, became a private company in 2001.

Intelsat, which transmitted television images of Neil Armstrong's landing on the moon, was in 2008 bought by Serafina Acquisition Ltd, which is backed by private equity firm Silver Lake among other funds.

Intelsat, which assumed debt of about $3.7 billion after the leveraged buyout (LBO), said it may use part of the proceeds from the offering to redeem and repay debt.

The company's revenue has been relatively flat and the offering seems to be a way to pay back debt, said Francis Gaskins, a partner at IPOdesktop.com.

In February, debt-laden casino operator Caesars Entertainment Corp went public, to make up some of the losses made by its private equity owners after its 2008 LBO.

LBOs, in which the acquisition is financed with a large amount of debt, have been criticized for saddling the companies with debt and leaving them with little options to pay them back.

Gaskins said the Intelsat offering was not "particularly exciting".

The filing did not reveal how many shares the company planned to sell or their expected price.

The company, which will change its name to Intelsat S.A before it goes public, intends to list its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "I".

The amount of money a company says it plans to raise in its first IPO filings is used to calculate registration fees. The final size of the IPO could be different.

Yahoo shares climb on report Alibaba deal near

Yahoo shares climb on report Alibaba deal near

Stock Market Predictions

(Global Markets) - Yahoo Inc shares rose as much as 6.7 percent on Friday after a report that it was close to selling part of its valuable stake in the Alibaba Group.

Shares of Yahoo climbed as high as $15.87 before easing to $15.64, up 5.2 percent.

Yahoo and Alibaba Group, the Chinese Internet group that runs e-commerce site Alibaba.com, are close to an agreement that could happen as soon as Monday, according to a report in All Things D, citing unnamed sources.. Yahoo would sell one-half of its 40 percent stake back to Alibaba.

Representatives from both Yahoo and Alibaba said they do not comment on rumor or speculation.

Yahoo's Asian assets, which also include a stake in Yahoo Japan, are considered the crown jewels of the company and its fate is on top of mind for investors.

Talks between Yahoo and Alibaba over the stake have been ongoing for some time.

Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jordan Rohan estimated Yahoo could receive $4.6 billion in after-tax cash proceeds, or $3.75 per share, he wrote in a note.

Rohan said the deal would be a positive for shareholders since "Yahoo shares become a less risky investment through this deal."

He also noted the transaction could reduce the amount of capital necessary to take the company private -- a "likely scenario."

The potential sale of the asset is especially noteworthy against the backdrop of Yahoo's struggles over the past decade as it tries to regain relevance in the face of competition from the likes of Google Inc and Facebook Inc.

In the latest in a string of executives departures over the past several years, Yahoo Chief Executive Scott Thompson stepped down on May 13 after a controversy over a fake computer science degree -- unearthed by hedge fund Third Point.

Third Point, run by Daniel Loeb, is the one of Yahoo's biggest shareholders and pushing for changes.

Mid caps to post worst week in 8 months

Mid caps to post worst week in 8 months

Stock Market Predictions

NEW YORK (Global Markets) - Mid cap stocks were on course for their worst week in eight months and a broad measure of stocks turned negative for the year on Friday as Facebook's IPO stumbled and investors continued to be cautious about Europe's ongoing debt crisis.

The S&P MidCap 400 index .MID was down around 6 percent for the week ahead of Friday's close, making it the worst week for the index since the week ended September 25.

At the same time the NYSE Composite index .NYA, a measure of all stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange, turned negative for the year. It was the first broad U.S. stock index to do so.

"All major indicators remain on sell signals," said Larry McMillan, president of options research firm McMillan Analysis Corp in a report on Friday. "We expect a powerful but short-lived rally should be coming soon. But at this point, barring some major shifts in our indicators, it may only be a rally in a larger down trending market."

The S&P MidCap 400 index .MID fell 1 percent while the S&P SmallCap 600 index .SML fell 0.6 percent. In comparison, the benchmark S&P 500 .SPX fell 0.7 percent. The small cap index was down 4.7 percent for the week ahead of the close, making it the worst week for the index since late November.

After a delay in the opening print of Facebook's stock that drove up anxiety levels among traders and onlookers outside the Nasdaq, the company's closely watched stock began trading at $42.05, compared with an IPO price of $38. It rose as high as $45 before pulling back.

While much of the market's focus was on Facebook, uncertainties continued to swirl around Europe, and investors remained skittish even as a poll showed Greek voters are returning to the establishment parties that negotiated its bailout.

In company news, shares in Ann Inc (ANN.N) rose 3.8 percent to $26.82. The women's clothing retailer reported a quarterly profit that beat estimates for the seventh time in a row as fewer promotions helped lift margins at its Ann Taylor stores.

Shoe companies were also a stand out among apparel retailers. The warmest U.S. winter in years fueled higher sales of running shoes and other footwear at Foot Locker and Brown Shoe Co, and they are expected to benefit from tight inventory management in the next few quarters.

Foot Locker Inc (FL.N) rose 8.9 percent to $30.51, while Brown Shoe Co Inc (BWS.N) climbed 19.4 percent to $10.46.

Social media stocks hammered as Facebook debuts

Social media stocks hammered as Facebook debuts

Stock Market Predictions

NEW YORK (Global Markets) - Social media stocks, led by Zynga Inc (ZNGA.O), slumped in volatile trading as traders used the securities to hedge or bet against the star of the sector, Facebook Inc (FB.O), which went public in a disappointing debut on Friday.

Facebook shares rose to a high of $45 in early trade but lost steam and closed at $38.23, up less than 1 percent. Analysts blamed the poorer-than-expected first-day showing on the vast number of shares floated, a rich valuation and market weakness.

"This starlet tripped on the red carpet," said Max Wolff, a senior analyst at GreenCrest Capital. "They started out with a fairly aggressive price range, then jacked it up and threw a lot more shares into the hopper. You either juice the number of shares or the price, you don't usually do both."

Shares of Zynga, the leading social gaming company which gets much of its revenue from Facebook, fell about 20 percent at one point, and were halted twice. Zynga closed down 13 percent at $7.16.

Other social media stocks, including LinkedIn (LNKD.N), Groupon (GRPN.O), Pandora Media (P.N) and Yelp (YELP.N), fell more than 5 percent on Friday, with Yelp losing 12 percent.

GSV Capital (GSVC.O), a listed investment vehicle that bought Facebook shares before the IPO, slumped 18 percent to $13.15.

"It was a disappointment. Most people, including myself, expected Facebook shares to trade better today," said Mike Moe, co-founder and chief investment officer of GSV Capital.

"We're lucky. We own the shares at a very good price. Our shares were bought below $30," Moe added, while noting GSV Capital did not sell any of its Facebook shares in the IPO.

Some traders who cannot short Facebook shares early may be betting against other social media stocks instead, according to Wolff and others. <ID: L1E8GI8WZ>

Zynga accounts for more than 10 percent of Facebook's revenue, so traders may be focusing mostly on Zynga shares and options as an alternative to Facebook.

"Somebody obviously tried to blow that thing out of the water using it as an inorganic hedge against Facebook," Wolff said.

"There's nothing going on that was released - no Zynga-specific news," he added. "There are no senior personnel talking, no new numbers that would explain a movement, let alone a movement of that size."

A Zynga spokesman declined to comment.

Zynga options have high "skew," which refers to the pricing difference between out-of-the-money puts and out-of-the-money calls, according to Ralph Edwards, director of derivatives strategy at ITG.

"This typically means people are looking for Facebook to kind of spill over to Zynga," Edwards said. "If Facebook catches a cold, then Zynga gets pneumonia."

Cowen and Company analyst Doug Creutz said some investors may have owned Zynga and other social media shares as a proxy for Facebook before Friday's IPO.

"Now they can own Facebook directly," he said. "You may simply be seeing people sell Zynga to buy Facebook."

Historic Facebook debut falls flat

Historic Facebook debut falls flat

Stock Market Predictions

SAN FRANCISCO (Global Markets) - The historic initial public offering of Facebook Inc did not go as planned on Friday, as the social networking company's sky-high valuation combined with trading glitches left the stock languishing near its offering price at the market close.

Facebook shares began trading late Friday morning and opened 11 percent above the $38 offering price, but after peaking at about $45 slid rapidly at the end of the day to close at $38.23. The IPO was the third-largest in U.S. history and valued eight-year-old Facebook at $104 billion.

The surprisingly weak debut of a stock that analysts had predicted would climb between 10 and 50 percent is not likely to dent the business prospects of Facebook, which boasts 900 million users and is upending business practices and social relationships around the world.

But the unexpected developments were a clear setback for Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter on the deal, which sources said was forced to defend the $38 price level by buying shares on the open market. Many market participants said they expected the stock to remain under pressure next week.

The offering also proved an embarrassment for the NASDAQ: the opening was delayed as the exchange struggled with a huge volume of orders, and for much of the day there were long delays in order confirmation. The SEC said late Friday that it was reviewing the situation.

Social media companies and Internet companies that had hoped to benefit from a Facebook halo effect were instead dragged down Friday, with social gaming giant Zynga dropping almost 15 percent.

Analysts said Facebook may simply have over-reached in raising the IPO price range, pricing at the top of the range and increasing the size of the offering earlier in the week.

"The underwriters got greedy on behalf of selling shareholders and bumped the price high enough that they didn't get much of a bump on the first day," said Bill Smead, chief investment officer at Smead Capital Management, which did not buy Facebook shares in the IPO. "They increased the size of the deal and that really did a number on it."

Skeptics have argued all along that a valuation of more than $100 billion -- about equivalent to Amazon.com Inc and exceeding that of Hewlett-Packard Co and Dell Inc combined -- was far too high for a company that posted $1 billion in profit and $3.7 billion in revenue in 2011.

Concerns about Facebook's earnings potential were highlighted by General Motors' announcement this week that it would no longer buy paid advertising on Facebook.

"You don't need more than a small pencil and napkin to do a valuation on this, to say there are heroic assumptions in earnings growth to keep this at $100 billion, much less $115 billion or $120 billion," said Dave Rolfe, fund manager at River Park Wedgewood Fund, which does not own shares in Facebook.

"I know there's a lot of excitement and exuberance, but it seemed today that the market is starting to do some hard valuation math early on."

Facebook's opening day on Wall Street does not bode well for the stock's performance in the days ahead, said Channing Smith, portfolio manager at Capital Advisors Growth, which does not own shares in Facebook.

"If you're an investment banker or if you're long the stock, I would definitely be a bit worried as we walk away to the weekend," he said.

The weak IPO may also give pause to private investors in Silicon Valley who have been pouring money into next-generation Internet companies at very high valuations in the hope of eventually taking them public.

MEDIA CIRCUS

At Facebook's headquarters in Silicon Valley, the day began with company founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, 28, symbolically ringing the opening bell for stock trading on Friday morning.

Wearing his trademark black hoodie, Zuckerberg, whose shares are worth nearly $20 billion and who retains voting control over the company, hugged and high-fived Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, who is credited with bringing crucial business discipline to a company founded in a Harvard dorm room.

The area outside Facebook's offices was packed with photographers, more than a dozen television trucks, and a TV news helicopter hovering overhead.

Outside Nasdaq headquarters in New York, crowds also gathered, even as exchange officials struggled to sort out trading problems that left investors guessing whether their buy and sell orders had actually been executed.

The IPO minted thousands of new paper millionaires among Facebook's 3,500 employees -- and a handful of billionaires among its founders and early investors. More than half of the proceeds of the IPO will go to existing shareholders, including early backers such as Accel Partners and Russia's DST Global.

In the run-up to the IPO, demand from institutional investors was strong, and many analysts had expected an influx of retail investors keen on owning a slice of a cultural phenomenon regardless of price. But that did not materialize.

"Flippers who waited all day for a pop that did not come decided to throw in the towel and get out," said Mohannad Aama, managing director at Beam Capital Management LLC in New York.

"That group also includes people who over-extended themselves in getting more shares than they can afford to hold -- whether they got it from the syndicate or from the open market once it opened around noon."

Still, from Facebook's perspective, the stock performance could be seen as reflecting smart pricing: Zuckerberg and early investors pocketed maximum gains and left little of the easy money on the table.

"You want to price the offering correctly. Institutional buyers get a little bump and the company raises the right amount of money," said Kevin Hartz, co-founder and CEO of Eventbrite, an online ticketing startup that is integrated with Facebook's platform. "If the stock has a massive bump on day one, that means you misread market demand and the company could have raised more money with the same amount of dilution, or could have raised the same amount of money with less dilution."

BATTLE OF THE GIANTS

Facebook faces many challenges as it takes its place beside Google, Apple and Amazon as one of the giant public companies defining the next-generation Internet economy. Google in particular views Facebook as a mortal threat and is moving aggressively to integrate social networking features across its products.

At the same time, scores of young companies are building new products and services, in some cases on top of the Facebook platform and in some cases in competition with it, and attracting huge amounts of investment capital.

A handful of such so-called Web 2.0 companies, including Zynga Inc, LinkedIn Corp, Yelp Inc and Groupon Inc, have already gone public, and others have been acquired by the industry giants. All of those stocks fell on Friday in sympathy with Facebook's weaker-than-expected debut.

In an indication of the land grab now under way in the Internet world, Facebook in April spent $1 billion to acquire Instagram, a tiny photo-sharing company with lots of users but no revenue. A Facebook rival, social scrap-booking site Pinterest, raised money earlier this week at a valuation of $1.5 billion in a sign that venture capitalists and other private investors still see enormous potential in Web 2.0 companies.

Many of Facebook's users spend hours a day on the site and share enormous amounts of personal information. That in turn enables Facebook to target its advertising to people's specific interests, and many analysts believe the huge store of personal information gives Facebook an advantage that Google and other cannot match.

"Literally everything you see on the Internet, you could see inside Facebook -- but done with much more of the social graph built into it," said Siva Kumar, CEO of e-commerce company TheFind. "In a way, they operate the mall, and everybody in the mall will pay some way or the other to Facebook."

Analysts say the company has vast untapped opportunities in mobile computing, where it has been weak thus far, and potentially in other Internet services such as email and search. Zuckerberg, though unproven as a public company CEO, is widely admired as a product visionary who has done a masterful job in continually improving the Facebook experience.

Skeptics, though, note that only a small percentage of Facebook users respond to advertising on the site. Google retains a big advantage in that regard, because advertising related to specific Internet searches is by nature far more relevant and thus more valuable.

In Silicon Valley, though, the conventional wisdom is that Facebook and its social media brethren will be an increasingly important force in the business world for many years to come.

And no matter how the industry dynamics unfold over the long term, the influx of wealth arising from Facebook's extraordinary growth has already helped drive a mini-boom in San Francisco Bay Area real estate. Income tax revenues related to the IPO will cut the state of California's budget deficit by an estimated $2 billion.
