Saturday, May 4, 3:52 PM Barron's is out with its list of the 500 financially strongest companies as ranked after a rigorous cash and sales analysis. A quick filter on the list shows a good chunk of the names trade with a single-digit price to earnings ratio including Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT). Despite all the buzz about booming auto sales in the U.S. and China, concerns about growth for Goodyear's products in other regions of the globe have lowered expectations. But with auto sale estimates for full-year being taken higher, Goodyear could see enough consistent revenue growth to justify a higher trading multiple.

Friday, May 25, 2012, 12:27 PM WESCO International (WCC -1.4%) slips on a tepid initiation by Wunderlich earlier this morning, starting the shares with a less than stellar Hold rating and a price target of $64 per share. Wunderlich says the weak rating is driven by a below-consensus 2012 EPS view largely resulting from revenue growth 80-90 bps slower than Street projections. The firm adds that near-term macro factors could present 2H12 challenges given the emergence of slowing business spending over the past five to six months. Comment! [On the Move]

Thursday, December 22, 2011, 6:36 PM The EPA’s new rules meant to curb power plant pollution could result in dozens of plants shutting down, but Barclays says some companies may benefit. GE could see higher demand as companies look to add new plants with gas turbines; since GE Power may be GE’s most important business, the stock could enjoy a boost. Other potential beneficiaries: SPW, CBE, TNB, HUBB, WCC. 5 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
