Wednesday, May 1, 6:52 PM "The dissidents have articulated a strong case that change on FOE’s board is warranted," proxy advisory firm ISS says in recommending Ferro (FOE) shareholders vote for two of three dissident director nominees. A vote is set for May 15, less than two months after FOE rejected plastics maker A. Schulman’s $6.50/share offer. Comment! [Commodities]
Wednesday, April 24, 6:42 PM Ferro (FOE): Q1 EPS of $0.10 beats by $0.05. Revenue of $417.5M misses by $22.1M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Tuesday, April 9, 3:56 PM Ferro (FOE -0.9%) slips today, despite raising its Q1 and FY13 per-share earnings guidance as the specialty chemical company cited progress on its cost-cutting initiatives. It now expects its Q1 EPS to be $0.05 to $0.07, and FY13 earnings of $0.30 to $0.35. Cost savings initiatives are now estimated to generate savings of $30M in 2013, rising to $70 million in 2014. Comment! [Earnings]
Monday, April 1, 11:17 AM Ferro (FOE) completes sale of pharmaceutical business to PLI Holdings for $16.9M in cash and up to $8M in incentive payments over two years. The company is selling non-core assets as it seeks to pacify skeptical shareholders who believe the company should have accepted what SA contributor Dr. Jacques Saint-Pierre called a "fair" buyout offer last month. Comment! [Commodities]
Thursday, March 7, 10:19 AM A group of shareholders owning a 4.3% stake says Ferro (FOE -0.4%) should sell itself, criticizing the chemical maker's rejection of A. Schulman's $563M buyout offer. The group, headed by FrontFour Capital and Quinpario Partners, also criticizes FOE's earnings call, where management did not take questions from analysts and investors. Comment! [Commodities]
Tuesday, March 5, 11:43 AM Ferro (FOE -2.8%) says it will redeploy, divest or curtail assets that can't generate sufficient returns, and is reviewing its product lines to determine potential to create value and generate cash, a day after it rejected A. Schulman's (SHLM +1.2%) $563M buyout offer. Much of FOE's 8% drop in Q4 revenues is traced to weakness in its electronic materials business. Comment! [Commodities, Earnings, M&A, On the Move]
Tuesday, March 5, 9:16 AM Ferro (FOE): Q4 EPS of -$0.07 misses by $0.02. Revenue of $406M (-8.3% Y/Y) beats by $14M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. With the sale, FOE will eliminate operating losses associated with the solar business. For FY13, FOE now expects EPS of $0.25 to $0.30, higher than estimates of $0.23. 1 Comment [On the Move, M&A]
Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 4:56 PM Ferro Corporation (FOE) says that its CEO and president James Kirsch has stepped down and resigned from the board as well.

Monday, October 29, 2012, 5:55 PM More on Ferro (FOE): Q3 misses on its top line estimate as total revenue slumped 24% Y/Y. The company also took impairment charges of $199M, including a $147M impairment of goodwill associated with the Electronic Materials segment and a $41 million impairment of certain property, plant and equipment primarily related to a reduced outlook in the Company's solar pastes business in the Electronic Materials segment. Comment! [Earnings]
Monday, October 29, 2012, 5:30 PM Ferro (FOE): Q3 EPS of -$0.02 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $415M (-24% Y/Y) misses by $34M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
