Bank of England rate cut 'possible' in summer, says deputy governor Broadbent

  • Ben Broadbent, a member of the Bank of England's rate-setting committee, said the base rate could be cut at some point this summer. Deputy governor Broadbent, who steps down next month after 13 years on the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), made the comment in a speech this morning. Following on from comments about the persistence of inflation, he said there is a "range of views" across the MPC on how persistent inflation could be. "In view of the rarity of events like this over the past, and the associated uncertainty about the future, that’s entirely understandable. "Whatever the priors of its individual members the MPC will continue to learn from the incoming data and, if things continue to evolve with its forecasts – forecasts that suggest policy will have to become less restrictive at some point – then it’s possible Bank Rate could be cut some time over the summer." His comments come ahead of the Office for National Statistics publishing the latest consumer price index on Wednesday, which is expected to show a sharp drop in the level of inflation, close to the MPC's 2% target. At the last policy meeting, two members of the committee voted for a cut, though the majority vote, including Broadbent, led to rates being kept at 5.25%. A month ago, the ONS data showed CPI inflation was 3.2% in March, with April forecast to see a big softening to 2.1% in the annual rate, as the month-on-month figure eases to 0.2% from 0.6%. Keywords Studios PLC (AIM:KWS, OTC:KYYWF) has confirmed the receipt of a bid approach from EQT Group worth around £2.2bn. Dublin-based games services specialist Keywords said it was one of a series of potential deals tabled by the private equity firm, but this one being at the value the "board would be minded to recommend". EQT, which has around £200 billion under management, has until the close of business on June 15 to table a formal offer. If the acquisition goes ahead, Keywords investors would receive £22.50 a share - a 53% premium to Friday's closing price - plus they'd be entitled to the final dividend payment. Since hitting a high of more than £33 in September 2021, the shares have almost halved in value amid worries that AI may be used to carry many of the games industry tasks outsourced to the company by customers such as Activision Blizzard and Tencent. In the last year, the share price has tumbled 36%. In a statement to the stock exchange Keywords: "The board remains confident in the company's growth strategy of building the only truly global platform providing solutions to the video games and entertainment industries, both organically and through acquisitions, and EQT is supportive of this strategy. The company employs 13,000 people in 26 countries and has grown from a £50 million market capitalisation when it debuted on AIM in 2023.

NanoViricides reports strong antiviral activity of NV-387 against RSV

  • NanoViricides (NYSE-A:NNVC) has reported that its antiviral drug candidate NV-387 demonstrated significant efficacy against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in a lethal lung infection animal model. The study showed that animals treated with NV-387 orally had normal lung histology and survived the infection, suggesting NV-387 could potentially cure RSV. In a comparative study, animals were administered NV-387 and ribavirin, another antiviral drug, for 11 days. The NV-387 treated group exhibited no lung damage and complete survival beyond the 21-day study period. Conversely, the ribavirin-treated group showed progressive lung pathology and did not survive past 14 days. "These results clearly demonstrate that NV-387 oral treatment would be of great clinical value for protecting infants and children from RSV," said Anil R. Diwan, the company's president and executive chairman. "We are very pleased with these results and plan on advancing NV-387 for the treatment of RSV infection into clinical trials as soon as possible." Currently, there is no approved treatment for RSV besides ribavirin, which is highly toxic. RSV causes morbidity and mortality among infants, children, and older adults, making the development of a safe and effective treatment an unmet medical need.

"In view of the rarity of events like this over the past, and the associated uncertainty about the future, that’s entirely understandable. "Whatever the priors of its individual members the MPC will continue to learn from the incoming data and, if things continue to evolve with its forecasts – forecasts that suggest policy will have to become less restrictive at some point – then it’s possible Bank Rate could be cut some time over the summer." His comments come ahead of the Office for National Statistics publishing the latest consumer price index on Wednesday, which is expected to show a sharp drop in the level of inflation, close to the MPC's 2% target. At the last policy meeting, two members of the committee voted for a cut, though the majority vote, including Broadbent, led to rates being kept at 5.25%. A month ago, the ONS data showed CPI inflation was 3.2% in March, with April forecast to see a big softening to 2.1% in the annual rate, as the month-on-month figure eases to 0.2% from 0.6%.

Petrobras (PBR) Hit by Dividend Fiasco: All You Need to Know

  • In a dramatic shakeup, the Brazilian government ousted Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., or Petrobras (PBR Quick QuotePBR - Free Report) CEO Jean Paul Prates last week. The dismissal, prompted by disagreements over dividend policies, underscores ongoing tensions between the state-controlled oil giant and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration. This development marks the fifth change in Petrobras' leadership within three years, highlighting persistent political interfWhat Happened?The ousting of Prates, who served less than 18 months, reflects President Lula’s push to reduce investor payouts and boost investments in areas such as renewable energy and refineries. Prates’ tenure was marred by disagreements with government-appointed board members over the decision to pay extraordinary dividends to shareholders. Critics argue that the government's influence threatens to prioritize political goals over shareholder interests, echoing concerns from Petrobras' past scandals and mismanagement.Magda Chambriard, a former head of the Brazilian oil and gas regulator ANP, has been appointed as Prates' successor. Chambriard, who aligns closely with Lula’s views, advocates lower dividends and increased capital spending on domestic projects, such as refining capacity and shipbuilding. Market ReactionFollowing the announcement, Petrobras' shares slipped by 6%, making it the biggest loser on Brazil’s benchmark stock index on Wednesday. The company’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in New York also dropped 6% in after-hours trading. Analysts expressed concerns over the abrupt leadership change, which they fear signals increased governmental intervention in the company’s operations. The change is also perceived to increase uncertainties surrounding PBR’s investment strategy, particularly regarding capital allocation.Finncial PerformanceAmid the leadership turmoil, Petrobras recently reported its first-quarter results, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The underperformance can be blamed on rising pre-salt lifting costs that resulted in weak upstream profitability, plus higher refining outlay. This was partly offset by strong production.Recurring net income, which strips one-time items, came in at $4,816 million compared with $7,392 million a year earlier. Petrobras’ adjusted EBITDA fell to $12,127 million from $13,956 million a year ago.Final WordsPetrobras' dividend strategy has been a contentious issue. While Lula’s administration favors reinvesting profits into national projects to stimulate economic growth, this approach conflicts with the preferences of international investors who seek higher returns. The market’s reaction to the leadership change has been negative, reflecting fears of increased political intervention and its potential impact on the company's financial stability and strategic direction. With the appointment of Magda Chambriard, Petrobras is likely to see a shift toward policies that prioritize national economic interests over shareholder returns, further complicating its investment landscape.3 Energy Stocks to BuyPetrobras carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. Meanwhile, investors interested in the Oil/Energy space could benefit from accumulating stocks like SM Energy Company (SM Quick QuoteSM - Free Report) , Marathon Petroleum (MPC Quick QuoteMPC - Free Report) and ProPetro Holding (PUMP Quick QuotePUMP - Free Report) . SM Energy and Marathon Petroleum currently sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) each, while ProPetro carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). SM Energy Company: SM beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the trailing four quarters. SM Energy has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 13.8%, on average. SM is valued at around $5.6 billion. SM Energy has seen its shares increase 73.9% in a year.Marathon Petroleum: Over the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 earnings has moved up 35.7%. Marathon Petroleum is valued at around $63.3 billion. MPC has seen its stock rise 62.4% in a year.ProPetro Holding: Over the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 earnings has moved up 36.7%. ProPetro Holding is valued at around $1 billion. PUMP has seen its stock rise 27.6% in a year. Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double" From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all. It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time. This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.Free: See Our Top Stock and 4 Runners Up >>

NASCAR at long last adds schedule variety with 2021 changes

  • CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - After two decades of the same left turns at the same tracks over and over again, NASCAR finally upended its stagnant calendar with a 2021 schedule that is as radical as the sport has ever seen. Three new venues. A dirt race for the first time in more than 50 years. And a whopping six road courses for the elite Cup Series in an overhaul unveiled Wednesday that dumped some of the cookie-cutter oval tracks right off the list. It is a true shakeup after a lack of imagination created the most predictable schedule in sports, one that favored new speedways - 1.5-mile ovals that not only all looked the same, but raced the same, too. Not since Indianapolis Motor Speedway was added in 1994 had a Cup race been awarded to a track that was not part of an ownership group for an active speedway. NASCAR set aside all the old ways of doing business. "We said back in 2019 ... 2021, you were going to see some really bold changes from NASCAR," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's executive vice president. "We believe we've delivered on that. We are excited for our fans, it's an historic schedule, the most changes since 1969." NASCAR will visit three new venues: Road America in rural Wisconsin, which will host the Cup Series for the first time since 1956; the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas; and Nashville Superspeedway, a visit that was previously announced. Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee will fill its 0.533-mile bullring with soil for the first Cup race on a dirt track since Richard Petty won at State Fairgrounds Speedway in Raleigh in 1970. Next year's schedule was the first time NASCAR could make big changes since 2016, when it entered into unprecedented, five-year sanctioning agreements with race promoters. That meant no changes, even as...

Marathon Petroleum's stock surges after Cowen analyst turns bullish and raises price target

  • Shares of Marathon Petroleum Corp. rallied 3.0% in premarket trading Wednesday, after Cowen analyst Jason Gabelman upgraded the oil refining, marketing and transportation company, saying he believes the market is underappreciating the capitalization improvement as a result of the $21 billion sale of its Speedway convenience-store chain, which was announced earlier this month. Gabelman raised his rating to outperform, after being at market perform since May 2019, and boosted his stock price target to $43 from $37. "We see 15% upside from equity today on the deal itself, in-line with upside to other large cap peers," Gabelman wrote in a note to clients. "However, we see additional upside not contemplated in our price target and independent of improving refining margins or crude differentials. This includes restructuring opportunities that could be particularly attractive if the long-term margin outlooks dims and a potential cost-cutting program to bring opex more in-line with peers." The stock has tumbled 38.7% year to date through Tuesday, while the SPDR Energy Select Sector ETF has shed 36.4% and the S&P 500 has gained 3.2%.

Marathon Poised for $1.1 Billion Tax Refund From Coronavirus Aid

  • (Bloomberg) -- Marathon Petroleum Corp. is poised to claim a $1.1 billion tax refund thanks to the coronavirus stimulus law enacted in March.That measure included a tax provision that allows companies to immediately deduct net operating losses and apply them to previous returns for five years from 2018, 2019 and 2020 -- instead of only applying those deductions to future years. The benefit is supercharged because deductions taken before the 2017 tax overhaul can be claimed at the 35% corporate tax rate instead of the current 21%.Companies across the spectrum, including retailers and renewable-energy developers are taking advantage of the net operating loss provisions in the March stimulus law to claim multimillion-dollar refunds. But it is a particular benefit to oil companies that raked in record profits in 2018, only to be battered by this spring’s crash in crude prices and demand. Oil industry advocates stress that companies would much rather be scoring profits than claiming losses.Marathon anticipates net operating losses this year and expects to carry those back, allowing it to also take advantage of the higher, 35% corporate tax rate in the process, Chief Financial Officer Don Templin told analysts and investors Aug. 3 on a conference call.Planned Timing“We think that’s a good thing for MPC,” Templin said. “Our plan would be that we would work on getting our 2020 tax return filed as quickly as we could in 2021 to be able to effect that NOL carryback and the refund that would be associated with that.”The Findlay, Ohio-based oil refiner previously estimated it would claim $411 million by being able to carry current losses to years in which the tax rate was 35%. It revised that calculation to $309 million in the second quarter, said Marathon spokesman Jamal Kheiry.Even without the stimulus law change, Marathon would have recorded an estimated $791 million net operating loss tax benefit, Kheiry said. It just would have been monetized in the future at a 21% deferred tax rate.Like other oil companies, Marathon has been battered by an epic downturn in fuel demand tied to the coronavirus pandemic, as states ordered businesses to halt operations and travel plummeted.Job CutsMarathon reported the estimated loss in its second-quarter filing earlier this month, and it was highlighted by Jesse Coleman, a senior researcher with Documented Investigations, a watchdog group.“It’s a tremendous amount of money for a company that is shuttering refineries left and right and putting hundreds of people out of jobs,” Coleman said by phone.Marathon reported a second-quarter loss of $868 million, excluding one-time items. The company now is evaluating its portfolio while it ceases operating three sites as refineries this year.Marathon will convert its 166,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Martinez, California, into a terminal facility and may add a 48,000 barrel-a-day renewable diesel plant there as soon as 2022. It is also closing the 26,000 barrel-a-day Gallup refinery in New Mexico after trying and failing to find a buyer. A third refinery in Dickinson, North Dakota, was already in the process of being turned into a renewable diesel plant before the pandemic and is set to complete the transition by the end of 2020.(Updates with details on refinery closures and estimates from sixth paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Corporate Chieftains Can Talk Less, Pay More

  • (Bloomberg Opinion) -- The Business Roundtable, an elite organization representing influential chief executive officers, is calling for change everywhere except Corporate America’s payrolls.Millions of workers that big business employs are in a bad way. Their wages have been stagnant or in decline for decades. Many no longer earn a living wage – if they still have a job – and their struggle has fed, if not sometimes sparked, the protests sweeping the U.S.Last week, the Business Roundtable urged Congress to pass another coronavirus bailout “to alleviate the economic challenges millions of Americans are confronting,” including “targeted aid to struggling individuals and families that offer relief while also encouraging a return to work.” It has also issued statements recently about paid time off for voting, police reform and racial justice.Those are all worthy causes, but the group has done little about the one cause over which it has the most influence, if not outright control: workers’ economic insecurity.It’s an issue the Roundtable professes to care about. The group’s revised “Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation,” released last summer and signed by 181 of its roughly 200 members, committed to serving all corporate stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers and communities. This was a strong break with the group’s traditions, upending a decades-old orthodoxy that corporations exist primarily to serve shareholders. “Americans deserve an economy that allows each person to succeed through hard work and creativity and to lead a life of meaning and dignity,” the statement declared.What happens when hard work isn’t enough? There are a number of handy calculators, such as MIT’s and the Economic Policy Institute’s, that peg a living wage for a family of four residing in a small town at roughly $60,000 to $70,000 a year. That figure is considerably higher for workers living in pricey cities. Now consider that the average full-time production and nonsupervisory worker at an S&P 500 company earned just $41,442 last year, according to data compiled by the AFL-CIO.It’s not as if everyone in Corporate America is poorly compensated. Over the last decade, CEO pay at S&P 500 companies increased more than $340,000 a year to an average of $14.8 million in 2019, according to the AFL-CIO. Wages for average workers at those same companies over the same period of time rose just $836 a year. That disparity is even more glaring at companies that furloughed workers this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The CEO of Burlington Stores Inc., for example, earned $35 million in 2019; workers there earned a median wage of $11,583. The CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. was paid $17.8 million; the company’s workers took home a median wage of $16,925.Let’s look at one of the most admired corporate giants, Amazon.com Inc. Its median total compensation for full-time employees was $36,640 in 2019, according to the company’s pay ratio disclosure. And Amazon’s founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos, is a prominent member of the Roundtable and signed its high-minded call to action last year.Amazon’s workers take home even less than the company’s median pay implies. Amazon annualizes compensation for employees who did not work the entire year without distinguishing between workers who left voluntarily and those who were laid off. It also includes the value of restricted stock the company grants them, which is typically worthless if workers don’t stay with the company for a specified period and meet certain performance hurdles. Restricted stock is nice, but it doesn’t put food on families’ tables.Amazon is far from alone. Walmart Inc. CEO Doug McMillon is also a Roundtable member and signed last year’s statement. The big-box retailer’s median worker pay was just $22,484 in fiscal year 2020, according to the company. You can add Target Corp.’s Brian Cornell, Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s Michael Hennigan, Home Depot Inc.’s Craig Menear and S&P Global Inc.’s Douglas Peterson to the list of Roundtable members with struggling workers.If the Roundtable wants to make a difference, its members should pay their workers an adequate wage. Had it done so earlier, efforts by Congress and the White House to craft another bailout wouldn’t be entangled by what we see as an irrelevant issue: wages.Legislators have let extended unemployment benefits lapse for America’s workers, with Republicans arguing that an extension of $600 a week in aid is a disincentive to work. Yet one of the core goals of the bailout is to support about 21 million unemployed Americans so they can afford basic necessities while Covid-19 ravages the economy. The only reason that skinflints in Washington can complain about benefits being higher than wages is because wages in our country are at shameful, rock-bottom levels. As long as companies insist on paying workers less than a living wage, adequate assistance will necessarily amount to more money.A recent Yale University study found no evidence that people receiving higher unemployment payments were less likely to return to work. Nevertheless, Republicans have proposed reducing supplemental unemployment insurance to $200 a week through September, after which total unemployment benefits would be capped at 70% of lost wages.

Oil Rises With Signs of Economic Recovery Buoying Demand View

  • (Bloomberg) -- Oil rose the most in nearly two weeks, tracking a move in stronger equities, as economic data from the U.S. to Europe and Asia signaled a flicker of life in languishing demand.U.S. manufacturing expanded in July at the fastest pace since March 2019, while factories across the euro area posted their first expansion in one-and-a-half years. In China, a private gauge showed the country’s factory activity grew at a faster pace in July than at any point since January 2011. Equities strengthened with the S&P 500 Index rising as much as nearly 1%.“If economic activity continues to strengthen, that subsequently will lead to higher demand, and that’s going to be supportive for the market,” said Gene McGillian, vice president of market research at Tradition Energy.Yet the deal between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies to ease production cuts this month is keeping oil prices from rallying higher. The group and its partners will pump about 1.5 million barrels a day more in August than in July. Russia already lifted its production slightly last month.Crude futures are still struggling to rebound significantly above $40 a barrel in the wake of a gloomy demand outlook with global coronavirus cases topping 18 million.There’s growing evidence that the recovery in oil demand is running out of steam, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts. With travel indicators appearing to have stalled, there’s a chance global oil consumption could find a new normal at about 90 million barrels a day, according to the report, down from about 100 million previously.Marathon Petroleum Corp. has seen weaker gasoline demand in the Southwest the last few weeks with the resurgence of Covid-19, executives said during an earnings call on Monday.“The infection rates are going up in a lot of different places in the United States again, renewing the worries about petroleum demand as more restrictions get put on,” which is weighing on the market, said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC.A fresh shot of stimulus in the U.S. may improve the demand outlook, but Democrats and Republicans remain at an impasse over a virus relief bill. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he may take executive action to impose a moratorium on evictions with talks on a new virus relief plan stalled in Congress. The White House is also exploring whether the president can act on his own to extend enhanced unemployment insurance payments.“The stimulus package is stalled at the moment, but there’s a sense in the market that something will come through sooner rather than later,” Kilduff said.Meanwhile, a Bloomberg survey showed that OPEC’s crude production rose last month as Persian Gulf members phased out extra supply cutbacks. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait restored the additional output taken offline in June.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

7-Eleven is buying Speedway gas stations in a $21 billion deal

  • 08/03/2020

Sale of Speedway gas stations buys Marathon breathing room

  • SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) - The $21 billion sale of Speedway gas stations has bought Marathon Petroleum some breathing room as the global pandemic continues to quash travel and smother demand for gasoline and jet fuel. Wall Street focused on the sale to 7-Eleven over the weekend, rather than the huge losses the company posted Monday, with a lack of demand for fuel leading to refinery shutdowns. The deal comes just two days after Marathon announced the idling of refineries in New Mexico and California. The sale bolsters Marathon's cash reserves after it posted an $868 million second-quarter loss. Marathon will use the proceeds to reduce debt and pay dividends to shareholders. A lot of cash-starved companies have slashed dividends to ride out the pandemic, a more difficult proposition in the energy sector, where investors take a regular dividend as a given. "We think the dividend is safe," said Citi analyst Prashant Rao, who believes the cash infusion will provide some debt cushion to the Findlay, Ohio, company. The all-cash sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021 and comes with a 15-year fuel supply agreement for 7.7 billion gallons per year for its stations. Marathon could also negotiate supply for 7-Eleven's other retail gas stations. The companies did not say how many Speedway stations were included in the agreement. Marathon lists more than 10,000 U.S. locations under Marathon, Speedway and Arco signs. U.S. crude prices have plummeted 33% this year in the outbreak. While that would lower input costs for refiners like Marathon, gasoline demand has fallen in tandem as businesses and households cut travel. "Despite seeing some recovery during the quarter, demand for our products and services continues to be significantly depressed, particularly...

Looking Into Marathon Petroleum's Return On Capital Employed

  • Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC) reported Q2 sales of $15.20 billion. Earnings fell to a loss of $12.15 billion. In Q1, total sales reached $24.08 billion.What Is ROCE? Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in Marathon Petroleum's Return on Capital Employed, a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed in a business. Generally, a higher ROCE suggests successful growth in a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share for shareholders in the future. In Q2, Marathon Petroleum posted an ROCE of -0.1%.View more earnings on MPCIt is important to keep in mind ROCE evaluates past performance and is not used as a predictive tool. It is a good measure of a company's recent performance, but several factors could affect earnings and sales in the near future.Return on Capital Employed is an important measurement of efficiency and a useful tool when comparing companies that operate in the same industry. A relatively high ROCE indicates a company may be generating profits that can be reinvested into more capital, leading to higher returns and growing EPS for shareholders. In Marathon Petroleum's case, the ROCE ratio shows the amount of assets may not be helping the company achieve higher returns. Investors may take this into account before making any long-term financial decisions.Upcoming Earnings Estimate Marathon Petroleum reported Q2 earnings per share at $-1.33/share against analyst predictions of $-1.75/share.See more from Benzinga * Marathon Petroleum: Q2 Earnings Insights * Earnings Scheduled For August 3, 2020(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

Do Railroad Takeovers Only Happen in Crises?

  • (Bloomberg Opinion) -- The time may finally be right for another big railroad deal. All it took was another economic downdraft.Private equity firms Blackstone Group Inc. and Global Infrastructure Partners are reportedly weighing a joint bid for Kansas City Southern that would value the railroad at about $21 billion including debt. Any takeover would also add to an aggressive flurry of dealmaking over the past few days after a pandemic-inspired lull. Siemens Healthineers AG agreed to buy U.S. radiotherapy company Varian Medical Systems Inc. for about $16 billion, while 7-Eleven owner Seven & i Holdings Co. is paying $21 billion for Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s Speedway gas stations. Waiting in the wings is a potential takeover of the popular video-sharing app TikTok and a Nvidia Corp. buyout of SoftBank Group Corp.’s Arm Ltd. chip-designing business. The sudden rash of dealmaking suggests buyers with supple balance sheets are getting more comfortable with the trajectory of an eventual recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, even as cases surge again.It’s notable that railroads may be included in this latest deal frenzy. There hasn’t been a major takeover of a North American railroad since Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. struck a $36 billion deal for Burlington Northern Santa Fe in 2009. There were attempts by Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. under the leadership of legendary railroader Hunter Harrison to seek a merger first with CSX Corp. in 2014 and then Norfolk Southern Corp. in 2015, but the carrier was rebuffed each time amid antitrust concerns. The failed talks showed the hurdles for any merger between the largest North American train operators after a wave of dealmaking in the late 1990s consolidated the industry into effectively seven main players, of which Kansas City Southern is the smallest and one of the few with major infrastructure in Mexico. As Buffett proved, though, a private investor is a different story. The irony may be that Harrison, a big believer in the benefits of consolidation who died in 2017, may have done more to prolong the lull in railroad dealmaking than bring it back. Before his death, Harrison served a brief term as CEO of CSX. His tenure there was tumultuous and he managed to ruffle quite a few feathers, but in the end, he was able to prove to both investors and his fellow railroad CEOs that his signature “precision-scheduled railroading” — a strategy for reducing the capital, cars and people needed to run trains efficiently — could work for U.S. carriers.Analysts had previous contended the U.S. railroads’ circuitous lines across mountainous terrain would make it more difficult for them to reach the levels of profitability that Harrison had produced at Canadian Pacific and at Canadian National Railway Co. before that. Posthumously, nearly all of his rivals — from Union Pacific Corp. to Norfolk Southern and, yes, Kansas City Southern— have adopted some form of precision-scheduled railroading. Burlington Northern is the only odd man out. The problem with this for would-be buyers of railroads is that this push for efficiency has increased both the profit margins and the stock prices of said railroads. Before news of the potential private equity approach on Friday, Kansas City Southern was actually up about 2% for the year, compared with a nearly 12% slide for the S&P 500 Industrial Index and a virtually flat performance for the broader benchmark. The reported $21 billion price tag would value Kansas City Southern at a premium to its all-time high set in February and Bloomberg Intelligence analysts warn even that may not be high enough. To justify a deal at these levels, the private equity buyers would have to be able to argue that the full scale of profit improvements under precision-scheduled railroading isn’t fully appreciated by the public markets. It’s hard to see how they do that. In January, before the worst of the pandemic, Kansas City Southern had predicted it would meet its 2021 goal of bringing its operating ratio — a measure of profitability where a lower number is better — down to the range of 60% to 61% a year early. The pandemic obviously undermined those plans. But even amid the sharp slump in volumes that’s ensued over the intervening months, Kansas City Southern in July raised its target for estimated cost savings this year to $95 million, excluding benefits from labor cuts and lease negotiations. That’s up from $61 million. After the rally on the deal news, the company trades at about 22 times estimated 2021 earnings, above the valuation commanded by other railroads that are further along in the process of precision-scheduled railroading.This makes any transaction more of a bet on the future of trade between the U.S. and Mexico and a push to relocate manufacturing away from China. It’s a decent wager given the recent resurgence of interest among U.S. industrial companies to consider factories a bit closer to home. The caveat to that is Mexico’s more volatile regulatory and political environment. Amidst the pandemic, many manufacturers complained of a harsher approach to factory lockdowns across the border than in the U.S., a sign that the potential for supply-chain disruptions lingers even with the recently signed United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. I’m reminded of an interview with Harrison that I participated in at Bloomberg headquarters in 2015: “I don’t like Kansas City Southern because of the Mexico play,” he said. “I don’t like Mexico. I like to play in an arena where I know the rules, and I understand what might happen. That’s crazy down there.” This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.Brooke Sutherland is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering deals and industrial companies.

3 “Strong Buy” Dividend Stocks With Payouts Over 5%

  • Out on the Street, focus has landed squarely on a new stimulus package that may be announced as soon as next week. Congress is working on another COVID-19 aid package on top of the $3 trillion already pumped into the economy to mitigate the pandemic’s negative impact, but investors are wondering how the government is going to pay for all of this.Making matters worse, according to the government, there is only enough money to pay social security benefits until 2035. After that, benefits are expected to be reduced. So, the writing is on the wall, lots of government spending and underfunded social security add up to you supplementing your retirement income.One way to generate income is to assemble a portfolio of dividend stocks. Using TipRanks’ database, we identified three yielding over 5% that are backed by enough Wall Street analysts to earn a “Strong Buy” consensus rating. Moreover, these stocks have an upside potential starting at 22%. Phillips 66 (PSX)The first company on our list is Phillips 66, an oil refiner with a $28.6 billion market cap. Besides refining, the company also generates significant revenue from its Midstream, Chemicals, and Marketing and Specialties segments.The oil industry has been battered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand for refined products like gasoline and jet fuel plummeted because people are working from home and air travel is limited. Despite all of this, Phillips 66 was profitable in the first quarter, generating adjusted earnings of $450 million. The gain was attributed to the company’s non-refining segments.In a recent research report, J.P. Morgan analyst Phil Gresh commented on the company’s diversification: “While PSX has not been immune to this challenging energy macro environment, we believe that this first major recessionary test of PSX’s business model should end up demonstrating the resilience of its diversified and well-integrated portfolio.”Turning to Phillips 66’s dividend, it pays $3.50 per year and currently yields a healthy 5.8%. Despite the challenging industry conditions, the five-star analyst believes the dividend is safe. “We also like management’s capital discipline, with an increasing free cash flow wedge in 2021 plus that should limit any potential damage to the balance sheet from the recession,” he stated.Accordingly, Gersh rates PSX an Overweight (i.e. Buy), along with a $98 price target, which implies a generous one-year upside potential of 42%. (To watch Gresh’s track record, click here) In general, the analyst community agrees with Gresh. Phillips 66 has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 13 Buy ratings, 3 Holds and no Sells. The average price target is $88.93, which adds up to upside potential of 36% from current levels. (See PSX stock analysis on TipRanks)Marathon Petroleum (MPC)Next up we have another giant oil refiner, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, with a $24.4 billion market cap. Like Phillips 66, Marathon Petroleum operates other businesses as well, namely Retail and Midstream. These businesses provide the company with diversification to balance out its volatile refining business.Consistent with the industry, Marathon Petroleum’s refining business has been hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, management announced it will reduce capital expenditures by $1.4 billion, along with other liquidity enhancing measures. In addition, the company is planning to spin-off its Retail Speedway gas station business, after its deal to sell the business for $22 billion was cancelled due to COVID-19.Analyst Roger Read, of Wells Fargo, weighed in on the likely proceeds from a spin-off: “We estimate MPC would acquire approximately $5.5 billion of cash via a dividend paid by the Retail unit upon the spin-off date. We assume the cash would be used to de-lever MPC.”These actions give investors confidence that Marathon will be able to maintain its dividend, which yields 6%. Read explained why he feels the dividend payment is on solid ground. “Based on attractive shareholder returns, merger-related synergies, capital discipline, and cash flow yield, we maintain a positive outlook on MPC. We expect predicted free cash flow will be directed to share repurchases and growing the dividend,” he noted.In line with his bullish stance, Read reiterated his Overweight (i.e. Buy) rating on Marathon, and keeps a $51 price target, which suggests considerable upside potential of 36%. (To watch Read’s track record, click here)Overall, other Wall Street analysts are on the same page as Read. Marathon gets a Strong Buy consensus rating, with 8 Buy ratings, 2 Holds and no Sells. The average price target is $46.10, which represents upside potential of 23%. (See MPC's stock analysis on TipRanks)VICI Properties Inc (VICI)Rounding out our list is VICI Properties, a gaming and hospitality real estate investment trust, with a $11.3 billion market cap. The company leases properties to established gaming and hospitality operators such as Caesars Entertainment Corporation and Century Casinos Inc.Due to COVID-19, major casinos and hotels shut their doors, including all 28 of VICI’s leased properties. As casinos start to reopen, it remains unclear whether, and at what pace, gamblers will return. Nevertheless, despite being closed, VICI’s tenants payed their rent in full for the months of April and May, and management expects rent for June will also be paid in full.Writing for Wolfe Research, analyst Jared Shojaian spelled out why he feels VICI’s cash flow will remain stable. “VICI leases properties to five gaming tenants through a triple-net lease structure, which means the tenants pay all the expenses, including taxes, insurance, and capital expenditures. Those tenants pay rent to VICI, and currently nearly all of that rent is fixed. Total lease payments should be highly predictable, we think even in this environment, because we believe VICI’s tenants have adequate liquidity, and gaming revenues are typically more resilient than perceived,” he explained.Stable and reliable cash flow provide comfort that VICI can maintain its current dividend of $1.16 per year. This amounts to a yield of 5.9%. Additionally, Shojaian thinks that the share price represents a good entry point. “VICI is down 23% from its February high, which seems like an opportunity to us,” he said.In addition to initiating coverage with an Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating, Shojaian set a $29 price target, which translates to sizable upside potential of 37%. (To watch Shojaian’s track record, click here)Looking at the consensus breakdown, other analysts like what they’re seeing. VICI’s Strong Buy consensus rating breaks down into 9 Buy ratings and no Holds or Sells. The average price target is $26.83, which signifies upside potential of 30%.

U.S. refiners ramp up crude imports from Mexico to 8-year high

  • U.S. crude oil imports from Mexico surged to the highest level in more than eight years last week as swelling inventories and a fire at the Latin American country's largest refinery in late June led it to offload more barrels. U.S. buyers boosted their purchases by 834,000 barrels per day (bpd) to about 1.3 million bpd in the week to July 3, the highest since February 2012, according to the Energy Information Administration. The surge helped send U.S. net imports last week to the highest since August 2019.

U.S. Midwest products prices due to rise from Dakota Access pipeline shutdown

  • Prices for gasoline and diesel in the U.S. Midwest could rise in the coming months, market participants said, because of a U.S. court ruling on Monday that ordered the largest pipeline from the North Dakota shale oil fields to be shut within a month. The line is the primary route for crude produced in the United States' second-largest shale patch in the Bakken, and the oil is a staple for some refineries supplying the city of Chicago and the Midwest. The closure of Energy Transfer's 570,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Dakota Access oil pipeline (DAPL) will drive up the transport cost of crude to the refiners, or force them to pay for alternative supply from elsewhere.

  • Large investors in the Dakota Access Pipeline, including Phillips 66, could be on the hook for hundreds of millions in payments, after a U.S. court on Monday ordered the owners of the major artery to shut it down and empty it of oil. A U.S. District Court on Monday ordered Energy Transfer LP to shut and empty the largest pipeline from the North Dakota shale oil fields within 30 days, saying the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers failed to provide an adequate environmental impact statement. Dakota Access LLC and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Co LLC guaranteed repayment of the debt.
