7 Facts About the New Short-Term Health Draft Regulations

Phoenix Group Holdings is in advanced talks to buy Standard Life Aberdeen PLC’s insurance unit, people with knowledge of the matter said, as the company seeks to bolster growth through acquisitions.

Phoenix plans to raise about 1 billion pounds ($1.4 billion) of capital to help pay for the deal, which could be announced as early as this week, the people said, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private. No final agreement has been reached and the talks could still fall apart, the people said.

Representatives for both firms declined to comment.

The mooted deal comes after Lloyds Banking Group PLC and Standard Life ended talks over merging their insurance businesses after they disagreed over control of the combined entity, a person with knowledge of the matter said at the time.

Phoenix bought Deutsche Bank AG’s Abbey Life Assurance Co. and AXA SA’s U.K. pension and protection business in 2016 as it seeks to grow through deals.

    On Thursday, our Under the Radar Movers newsletter suggested shorting small cap technology stock Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ: IMMR):

    We love how well developed the selling of Immersion shares has been. Rather than a sharp, v-shaped reversal — which may or may not follow through — we’ve seen a bowl-shaped transition from an uptrend to a downtrend. This ups the odds of downside follow-through, as there’s been no price “shock” to invite a sudden wave of buying.

Citigroup bond analystMurali Ganti and team consider the impact of the changes announced by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (VRX) this morning:

Kris Tripplaar/Sipa USA/Associated Press

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., in a busy press release, announced a slew of changes this morning in a quest to stabilize investor sentiment after a barrage of negative press that culminated in last weeks distressing earnings call. Key points, among others, include the stepping down of J. Michael Pearson as CEO and Director of the company and the appointment of Bill Ackman to the Board of Directors, effective immediately, as well as explanations around the delayed filing of its financial statements…

In a separate 8-K release, the company detailed the reasons behind the delay in financial filings and highlighted the impact of the misstatements. In short, the company asserts that financial results for the quarter and year ended 12/31/14 as well as the quarter ended 03/31/15 should not be relied upon. Furthermore, the six-month and nine-month results highlighted in the companys 06/30/15 and 09/30/15 quarterly financials should also not be relied upon. The company attributed the misstatements to the improper conduct of the companys former CFO and Corporate Controller. We note the company did not identify its former CorporateController, who has been placed on administrative leave. Separately, management still believes it will be able to file its 10-K on or before 04/29/16 and thereby remain within the cure period as highlighted in its Credit Agreement. The company will be seeking an amendment with its lenders, however, in case filings are further delayed so a s not to put the company in default of covenant provisions…

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Jim Jubak, Senior Markets Editor, MoneyShow.com]

    The one currency that is running against the weak dollar tide is the Japanese yen. The yen initially climbed on the Fed’s no taper decision—rising to 97.75 on the news—but then fell all the way back to 99 yen to the dollar and finished yesterday at 99.42. (Remember that since the yen is quoted in yen to the dollar, a higher number is a sign of a weak yen and a smaller number means the yen is getting stronger.) The thinking seems to be that the recent Japanese trade deficit will push the Bank of Japan to further weaken the yen, in order to boost Japanese exports. I continue to think that the yen will finish 2013 at weaker levels than current trading, and that leads me to continue to hold positions in Japanese stocks such as Toyota Motor (TM) and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MTU). Both stocks are members of my Jubaks Picks portfolio.

Financial analyst: It’s time to cut up Yahoo! Embattled CEO Marissa Mayer believes that a leaner, more focused Yahoo is the solution to its growth problems.

Yahoo announced a massive, $4.4 billion loss last quarter and said it will lay off 15% of its workforce as part of a plan to return the company to “modest to accelerating growth” next year and in 2018. The layoffs will reduce Yahoo’s headcount by about 1,600 employees to around 9,000 staff.

The new plan, announced Tuesday afternoon, will focus on Yahoo’s core strengths: Its products (Search, Mail and Tumblr) and its media brands (News, Sports, Finance and Lifestyle). The company will also streamline its advertising platforms, close five global offices and shutter businesses that aren’t growing, including games, smart TV and scripted TV shows.

    Pent Up Demand Pushing Cyclical Stocks

    We are coming out of a lengthy period of decreased spending in the wake of 2008-09, which has built pent up demand for automobiles, housing and capital expenditures. The average age of vehicles on the road has reached a record high of 11.4 years. Demand for new houses fell off dramatically since the Great Recession. The average U.S. home was built in 1974 and continues to age.
    As people have chosen to fix rather than replace their vehicles and homes, we’ve seen the replacement-type industries do very well. Auto Retail’s second quarter sales and earnings per share were up 14.7% and 18.6%, respectively. Home improvement retail grew sales nearly 10% with earnings up 20% from second quarter 2012.
    Adding to the pent up demand for housing is the number of young people living with their parents rather than buying or renting on their own. According to real-estate marketplace Trulia, the number of “missing hou seholds” (Americans who would currently be owning or renting a home if pre-recession economic trends had continued) was up to 2.4 million in March. More than half of these missing households are 18 to 34-year-olds.
    This pent up demand extends beyond just the immediate products being bought by consumers. Businesses have held off replacing durable goods since the recession. All of this excess demand will have to be released at some point. Eventually, these homes and vehicles will exceed their useful life and need to be replaced. To meet the need for the excess demand, companies will not be able to hold off re-investing in new plant equipment.
    We’ve seen the beginning of this demand in 2013 and believe there is more to come. The market is buying into this as well, as more growth and manufacturing oriented sectors – such as Consumer Discretionary and Industrials – have performed well over the near-term.
    Share prices for stocks in the Indu strial sectors are mo

Top 5 High Dividend Stocks To Buy Right Now: Medivation Inc.(MDVN)

The company was founded in 2003 and is based in San Francisco, California.

Advisors’ Opinion:

    Well, it looks like Medivation (MDVN) now has five suitors after reports that Amgen (AMGN) is joining Pfizer (PFE), Sanofi (SNY), AstraZeneca (AZN) and Novartis (NVS) in considering a bid. Maxim’s Jason Kolbert and Jason McCarthy offer their thoughts:

    Medivation reports tonight at 4:30pm…

    We expect the focus to be on the recent proposals from Sanofi (SNY $38.75- NR); Pfizer (PFE $33.40 -NR), AstraZeneca (AZN $28.26-NR) and just today, Amgen (AMGN – $154.18 – NR)…

    Medivation is returning to new highs as suitors line up to make acquisition bids. In this scenario what is the right discount rate for modeling purposes?

    We believe our model for Xtandi revenues is good, therefore we review our risk rating and determine the following: 30% = $47 15% = $76 10% = $99

    With Medivation’s board having now said No to anything less than $65 per share, it suggests to us that the stability and predictability of Xtandi’s revenues is greater than we thought, the risk is lower. Our intermediate risk rating is 15% or $76 fair value.

    Shares of Medivation rose 0.3% to $59.22 today, while Pfizer gained 0.5% to $33.56, Sanofi fell 0.5% to $39.07, AstraZeneca dropped 0.6% to $39.07, Novartis declined 0.3% to $74.12, and Amgen ticked up 0.1% to $154.25.
