Texas Instruments (TXN: news, chart, profile) and Mattel (MAT: news, chart, profile) present midquarter pictures Monday, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ: news, chart, profile) updates analysts Tuesday, Brocade Communications (BRCD: news, chart, profile) and Xilinx (XLNX: news, chart, profile) talk to the Street on Wednesday with EMC (EMC: news, chart, profile) and Anadarko (APC: news, chart, profile) presenting midquarter previews Thursday. Shifting to the bottom line, H&R Block (HRB: news, chart, profile), Net2Phone (NTOP: news, chart, profile) and Smithfield Foods report Wednesday. National Semiconductor (NSM: news, chart, profile) is on Thursday's calendar.
Two weekend medical conferences on cancer and diabetes were presented with a number of drug trial results. See full story.
Alliance Pharmaceutical (ALLP: news, chart, profile), which develops drugs and medical imaging products, said late Friday that it privately placed about 31.4 million shares, with proceeds of about $11 million. Purchasers also will receive warrants for about 23.6 million shares at an exercise price of 50 cents a share. Ahead of the transaction, Alliance had about 28 million common shares outstanding with a market capitalization of about $11.6 million.
Atlantic Coast Airlines (ACAI: news, chart, profile), a Virginia-based regional carrier, said late Friday that its May traffic decreased 4.3 percent from the year-earlier month with a 2.4 percent decrease in available seats. The load factor, a measure of how full planes are, was down 1.4 percentage points.
Briggs & Stratton (BGG: news, chart, profile), a maker of small engines, had its credit rating confirmed by Moody's, affecting $350 million of debt, after Briggs announced a $227 million cash purchase of Simplicity Manufacturing. Moody's said the company's market-segment leadership and strong cash position mean it will not be strained by the purchase since no additional debt is incurred.
Chalone Wine Group (CHLN: news, chart, profile), a Napa Valley, Calif., vintner, said late Friday it hired Thomas Weisel Partners as a financial adviser to help its board evaluate a $9.25 a share cash acquisition offer by Domaine Barons de Rothschild.
Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI: news, chart, profile), an engineering and construction company, said late Friday that losses on two projects forced it to cut its second-quarter earnings outlook. Earnings per share are now expected in a range of 7 to 10 cents, down from 36 to 39 cents previously expected. For the year, CBI expects $1.27 to $1.32, down from $1.57 to $1.62. A project in Saudi Arabia is hurt by recent turmoil and instability, CBI said. In a North American project, a contractor's bankruptcy is forcing CBI to complete a project with its own workers in a sped-up operation. See full story.
Constellation Energy Group (CEG: news, chart, profile), a utility that also is an energy trader, is succeeding in an area where Enron flopped, says Barron's. The company pulls in 73 percent of revenue from wholesaling energy, and Barron's likes its avoidance of the wheeler-dealer culture that sank Enron. Traders are focused on matching supply to orders, then using hedges to lock in small profit, says Barron's in describing the company's Baltimore operation. A credit downgrade in March by Standard & Poor's still considered the trading operations risky, Barron's notes.
Diebold (DBD: news, chart, profile), which makes electronic voting equipment, has barred top executives from making political contributions or participating in any political activities other than voting, according to a filing late Friday. See full story.
Electronic Arts (ERTS: news, chart, profile), the largest publisher of video games, said it expects to cut 117 jobs in its fiscal first quarter as a result of a studio restructuring, according to a filing Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. See full story.
Eyetech Pharmaceuticals (EYET: news, chart, profile) is one of the biotech companies noted by Alan Abelson in his Barron's column that has a lot of outstanding shares leaving lockup soon. In passing along information and a commendation of Merrill Lynch's new Bio-Stats publication, Abelson also notes large lockup expirations for Renvois (RNVS: news, chart, profile), Corgentech (CGTK: news, chart, profile) and Dynavax Technologies (DVAX: news, chart, profile).
Famous Dave's (DAVE: news, chart, profile), a barbecue restaurant chain, said late Friday that it repurchased 200,000 shares from its founder and former chairman, Dave Anderson, at $7.80 per share, below the day's $8.22 closing price.
Foot Locker (FL: news, chart, profile), a sports gear retailer, said late Friday that all holders of 5.5 percent convertible notes are exchanging them for common shares at $15.806 a share. Earnings per share will not be diluted, Foot Locker said, because it has been including the potential increase in its share count.
Greene County Bancshares (GCBS: news, chart, profile), a Tennessee-based bank holding company, said late Friday that its board approved an increase in the stock buyback authorization to $5 million, up from $2 million.
Honeywell (HON: news, chart, profile), the manufacturing conglomerate, said late Friday it reached a $100 million agreement to settle litigation filed by shareholders against the company and three of its former directors. See full story.
LaBranche (LAB: news, chart, profile), one of the New York Stock Exchange market-making specialists, faces more that regulatory problems, says Barron's. Competition from Nasdaq and other electronic exchanges could bite deeply if an SEC proposal changes trading rules. A regulatory settlement with the SEC and NYSE is settled, but private suits could still surface. One positive factor, in Barron's appraisal, would be a volatile stock market that lifts LaBranche's earnings
