- Wednesday, May 8, 1:19 PM Shares of Axiall (AXLL -16.2%) plummet after earnings miss estimates by a wide margin. The acquisition of PPG's chlorine assets was largely responsible for an $88.6M increase in adjusted EBITDA from Q1 2012 in the Chlorovinyls segment (which accounts for most of the firm's sales), but relatively high ethylene costs and lower resin sales prices conspired to offset the gains. Meanwhile, net sales decreased in both the Building Products and Aromatics segments. (PR) Comment! [On the Move, Earnings]

- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 8:36 AM Georgia Gulf (GGC) +1.2% premarket after reinstating payment of quarterly dividends for the first time in four years, a reflection of its efforts to pay down debt and generate “substantial free cash flow," CEO Paul Carrico says. The $0.08/share dividend is the same level paid before it was suspended in 2008. Comment! [On the Move]
- Friday, May 4, 2012, 4:28 PM Westlake Chemical (WLK) withdraws its $1.2B bid to buy Georgia Gulf (GGC) after a sweetened $35/share offer was rejected as too low. WLK says it plans to sell its 4.8% stake in GGC “as market conditions permit.” WLK +1.2%, GGC -9.5% AH. Comment! [M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 3, 2012, 8:22 AM Georgia Gulf (GGC) +17.9% premarket after reporting Q1 results its CEO says were the best on an operating basis in the past six years. Paul Carrico expects "the cost advantage of domestic natural gas and growing global demand should provide solid support for attractive operating rates in the vinyl industry, especially for housing and water infrastructure applications.” Comment! [On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 8:01 AM Georgia Gulf (GGC) rejects an offer from Westlake Chemical (WLK) to buy it out for $35 per share. It's not the first time GGC has said no to WLK. (previous) GGC -7.3% premarket, WLK inactive. Comment! [M&A, On the Move]
- Friday, January 13, 2012, 3:21 PM Georgia Gulf (GGC +34%) trades nearly 10% higher than the $30/share offer from Westlake Chemical (WLK +7.6%), lending credence to comments by Telly Zachariades that he wouldn't be surprised to see a higher bid. The banker says M&A activity in the chemical sector will pick up steam in 2012 because of ample cash on the balance sheets of many big players. Comment! [M&A, On the Move]
