"My question is whether you think Apache (APA) could possibly have poor financial health? I ask, because some SA readers want to buy APA Preferred D, which offers a profit of 26% (let alone the dividends along the way). Should its preferred stock be called? APA-D seems like a solid investment to me; just wondering what you think…"

In order to answer this question, I did some additional analysis on the financial statement about solvency ratios and liquidity ratios. These ratios will answer the above mentioned question and, perhaps, might help many SA readers make a reasonable decision.

Actually, I had to cut the article (It was too long) and decided to exclude analysis of the fourth company - OMV in order to consider this company in the next article. However, I forgot to exclude it from the conclusion and....oops! ....you found my findings on OMV I wanted to discuss next time. I have contacted editors and suggestion on OMV will be deleted asap.

In fact, I have three books on Finance
"FINANCE"

"Accounting cost and results in innovative activity"
You can load them here

However, you can read them perhaps with the Russian-English dictionary in your hands, because my native language is Russian.]]> Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:35:59 -0500

Thank you for your comment! Sure! I have checked today. The fair value for WFC indeed spans between $58 and $85. The stock is undervalued (with 75% upside potential). However, this fact has not changed my opinion on the best bet for 2013.

You say: “According to the table above XOM is undervalued and Chevron is overvalued. Please explain your final verdict.”
If the company is overvalued it does not mean directly the company is a buy. The same story with undervalued companies which are not considered a sell exactly. The stock valuation is one of the numerous factors that affect buy/hold/sell decision on any stock.
The received results make me consider RDS.A and CVX the best oil options by analyzing all pros and cons for every company. Overvalued Chevron indeed has a potential for the next share price increase driven by relatively more attractive growth opportunities when compared to its peers. The stock price upturn will allow benefiting by its shareholders in the coming future. In our case, we cannot evaluate RDS stock price (over- or undervalued), so we do not have one of the most important metrics for decision making. However, the price/book ratio of this company is quite affordable. Nevertheless, RDS.A is presently offering an unmatched dividend yield, a healthy EPS and promising future prospects.

Despite XOM is well undervalued, yield-hungry investors would not feel themselves excited with XOM’s dividend, when there are other hot oil horses.
PetroChina is also undervalued, but it has a relatively poor performance (low ROE of 11.6%) and high debt/equity ratio when compared to its peers. As I said, there are not many positive sentiments for PetroChina future, due to slippage in profits for Q3 2012.

You say: ‘’So Ford had better 3rd quarter earnings because there was a positive perception by investors? Did they buy a load of cars?’’
It is well-known that not only high sales build strong performance of the company. Investor’s relation indeed drives share price performance of the company and a peer group; then it helps to focus the company where it is more competitive and has the best risk-adjusted returns. I believe every self-respected investor is familiar with the investor behavior theory (for example, you should learn well the report “Providing Investor Feedback on the Company’s Credibility and Growth Strategies”.) Ford’ stock has often traded at a considerable discount to its peer group and the S&P 500, reflecting its quality, performance and investors’ positive perception of the company. Finally, Positive perception affects making buy/hold/sell decisions on any stock.

You say: "Ford into forming a partnership with General Electric Company (GE) to research, develop and sell alternative-fuel vehicles. This should help improve the status of the Ford C-Max plug-in hybrid vehicle as the car industry delves into the world of green living." So GE is going to help Ford sell C-max's?
It is a fact! We should keep it in mind too.

You say: “Setting aside all the typos and other errors (eg: "bank payments of $500,000 annually" should say $500 million)…”

The reason of your fair doubts lies in the fact that many reliable sources indicate different numbers of dividend yield, as well as it also happens to PE in some cases. The point is which source seems to the author (me) as well as to an investor (you) more credible.

I used data from Morningstar that currently indicates SI's dividend yield of 2.75%.

The data from Seeking Alpha highlights SI's dividend yield of 2.77%

Thank you for your opinion and comments!
The phrase "From initial impressions" was derived from looking firstly at the most important stock quotes, which expose the company's performance - - earnings growth, dividend yield, ROE, etc. Comparing those of SCCO and FCX, I made my first impression on which company was faring better in investor's eyes. Not to be taken in the first impression, then we go deeply in analyses of other metrics as well as facts.]]> Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:26:52 -0500
