This week will bring plenty more data for investors in and watchers of the sector to mull over. <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/apple-inc/aapl/nas">Apple Inc.</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/apple-inc/aapl/nas">AAPL</a>), <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/atandt-inc/t/nys">AT&amp;T Inc.</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/atandt-inc/t/nys">T</a>), and <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/microsoft-corporation/msft/nas">Microsoft Corp.</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/microsoft-corporation/msft/nas">MSFT</a>), for example, are expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial to post modest earnings gains from a year ago, to $1.11 per share (on $8.1 billion in sales), $0.72 per share (on $31.3 billion in sales), and $0.47 per share (on $14.8 billion in sales) respectively. All three of these companies ended the week closer to their 52-week lows than highs, and analysts on average consider them each a buy. </p>

<p>Shares sold short in <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/yahoo-inc/yhoo/nas">Yahoo! Inc.</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/yahoo-inc/yhoo/nas">YHOO</a>) dropped by 16.4 million to 39.1 million. It may be that rumors the company could be taken over have driven out shorts. There have also been news reports that the internet portal could cut as much as 20% of its staff to improve operating income.</p>
<p>Short interest at <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/intel-corporation/intc/nas">Intel Corp.</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/intel-corporation/intc/nas">INTC</a>) fell 14.1 million shares to 55.6 million. The largest semiconductor company still appears to be taking market share from rival <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/advanced-micro-devices-inc/amd/nys">Advanced Micro Devices</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/advanced-micro-devices-inc/amd/nys">AMD</a>). A bet against Intel is now largely a bet that global PC sales will fall. While the U.S. market may be soft, sales in Asia are still brisk.</p>
<p>One of the most troubled large companies listed on Nasdaq is <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">Level 3 Communications</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">LVLT</a>). The firm still has the largest short interest of any listed on the exchange at 153.8 million. But, that fell 13.7 million between December 14 and December 31. The stock has fallen so far that investors may simply believe that shares will hold their own if financial results are acceptable. The stock has a 52-week high of $6.80 and now trades at under $3.</p>
<p>Short interest in <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/comcast-corporation/cmcsa/nas">Comcast Corp. </a>(NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/comcast-corporation/cmcsa/nas">CMCSA</a>) dropped 7.3 million shares to 44.5 million. Market concern that telecom companies are taking cable TV and broadband customers have driven Comcast from $30 in the middle of last year to just over $17. Some analysts believe that this is too much of a correction and that cable firms still have the inside track for providing consumers with voice, broadband, and TV service.</p>

<p>Level 3 would appear to be in a good business. It has 50,000 miles of IP backbone to transport voice, data, and video. It provides services to the country's largest cable and telecom companies.</p>
<p>Level 3 has taken a beating in 2007 falling form $6.80 to just above $3. Wall Street has to wonder how it gets back toward $7.</p>
<p>For starters, the company has to stop making an acquisition a month. The company's <a href="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/794323/000110465907081656/a07-25606_110q.htm">Level 3's latest 10-Q</a> lists seven deals. It is not unfair for Wall Street to be concerned about the pace of these purchases, especially since Level 3 does not make money. In the September quarter, the company had an operating loss of $53 million on revenue of $1.061 billion. Level 3 also made $138 million in interest payments on its $6.8 billion in long-term debt.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/12/29/can-level-3-lvlt-be-fixed-in-2008/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Can Level 3 (LVLT) be fixed in 2008?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/12/29/can-level-3-lvlt-be-fixed-in-2008/">Can Level 3 (LVLT) be fixed in 2008?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sat, 29 Dec 2007 12:10:00 EST.

<p>It's important to point out, before presenting this analysis, that the 27 cents on the dollar price that Citadel paid applied only to E-Trade's CDOs. It may represent a worst case scenario price for these banks. Furthermore, the Level 3 assets of these nine banks include other illiquid securities besides their CDOs. Finally, the calculations I'll show are based on the most recent Level 3 assets and equity of these banks as of last month.</p>
<p>Having said that, here are the three banks whose capital would be wiped out if that 27 cents on the dollar valuation was applied to their Level 3 assets and written off from their most recent capital levels:</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/12/04/could-citadels-valuation-of-e-trades-cdos-wipe-out-capital-at/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Could Citadel's valuation of E*Trade's CDOs wipe out capital at three big banks?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/12/04/could-citadels-valuation-of-e-trades-cdos-wipe-out-capital-at/">Could Citadel's valuation of E*Trade's CDOs wipe out capital at three big banks?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:10:00 EST.

<p>Some of last week's lows:</p>
<p><a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">Level 3 Communications</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">LVLT</a>): The company has one of the largest data and voice networks in the country. But pricing pressure on bandwidth costs and trouble integrating acquisitions did a tremendous amount of damage to the shares when the firm announced third quarter numbers. The stock traded as low as $2.90, down from a 52-week high of $6.80. But, LVLT's real sin is the amount of debt it carries -- almost $7.4 billion. The current market hates balance sheets that indicate too much borrowing.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/10/28/a-look-at-the-market-through-52-week-lows/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>A look at the market through 52-week lows</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/10/28/a-look-at-the-market-through-52-week-lows/">A look at the market through 52-week lows</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sun, 28 Oct 2007 15:10:00 EST.

Here are a few critical bottoms hit last week:</p>
<p><a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">Level 3</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">LVLT</a>) would seem to be a poster child for the new demand for bandwidth. It has a huge national network covering 48,000 miles and a first-rate customer base including big telcos and cable companies. It also carries a lot of VoIP traffic. The company hit a 52-week low because it has something Wall Street hates right now -- a ton of high-yield debt backed by shaky cash flow. The debt is over $6.8 billion, and LVLT has had negative operating income for each of the past three years. The stock is being sold off just before earnings because any sign of weak earnings is exposure to significant balance sheet problems. Borrowing is not popular these days.</p>
<p><a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/toyota-motor-corporation/tm/nys">Toyota</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/toyota-motor-corporation/tm/nys">TM</a>) should be riding high. It has passed <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/general-motors-corporation/gm/nys">General Motors</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/general-motors-corporation/gm/nys">GM</a>) as the world's largest car company and is more profitable than any of its global peers. But, hyper-growth may be catch up with the Japanese company. It slipped from the top spot in the <em>Consumer Reports</em> vehicle reliability survey and had to recall 470,000 cars in its home market. GM's new UAW contract will also make it a rougher competitor.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/10/21/market-signals-from-52-week-lows/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Market signals from 52-week lows</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/10/21/market-signals-from-52-week-lows/">Market signals from 52-week lows</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sun, 21 Oct 2007 13:10:00 EST.

Level 3's stock jumped over 4% on the news. <br /><br />The IP-centric service provider has boasted for years about its low-cost structure and constant inferences that it could slash prices and drive volume unlike any other network provider in the country, if not the world. This is the first time the company has been so public about a specific price action. <br /><br />Lisa Guillaume, VP of CDN Product Development for Level 3, said CDN services usually carry a 20 to 30% premium over the cost of transport, in a <a href="http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=135494">LightReading.com</a> interview. This pricing action eliminates that differential. The ownership of a massive long-haul network and CDN platform will allow Level 3 to do this profitably, she added. <br />Level 3's network was designed to play the price-elasticity curve for bandwidth consumption in the Internet age. Volume increases in bandwidth consumption would offset per-unit price declines for transporting all those bits of information for MySpace, YouTube and <a href="http://www.wallstrip.com/theshow/">Wallstrip.com</a>.<br /><br />Level 3 reported light revenue and earnings in the most recent quarter as it attempts to integrate seven acquisitions that it has completed during the last eighteen months. Demand for its services is strong, but the company is having issues getting the new customers onto their network. <br /><br />After years of anticipation, possibly yesterday's announcement is a sign that Level 3 is finally ready for prime time and will be able to drive its business model, leading to higher revenue and profit growth. The company is due to report earnings on October 23 -- a must listen to call for investors.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/10/05/level-3-attempts-to-show-its-power/">Level 3 (LVLT) attempts to show its power</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Fri, 05 Oct 2007 13:00:00 EST.

Global Crossing's stock is selling from $22, up from $17.50 earlier this week. Why? The international telecommunications service provider reported a 500 basis-point improvement in its gross margin. This is a company that had some of the lowest gross margins in the telecommunication sector a few years ago. EBITDA came in $4 million ahead of analysts expectations. A good sign for a company that has often missed financial targets. <br /><br />Jefferies has EBITDA going from $144 million in 2007 to $388 million by 2010. The combination of better industry conditions and recent acquisitions bodes well for the once-bankrupt telecom provider.<br /><br />Time Warner Telecom also reported strong results earlier this week and should be looked at. <br /><br />Emerging telecommunications providers got hit pretty hard after Level 3's results came in lite. Level 3 said demand for its services was strong, but messed up getting new customers on the network. Investors were not sure to believe management. From the results of both Global Crossing and Time Warner Telecom, it appears the demand for service from these new service providers is most definitely strong.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/08/10/stay-focused-on-telecom/">Stay focused on telecom</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Fri, 10 Aug 2007 12:15:00 EST.

The market is so oversold it could mean we are due for a pretty good short term rally. Stocks to consider include:<br />
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-home-depot-inc/hd/nys">Home Depot Inc.</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-home-depot-inc/hd/nys">HD</a>) -- <em>Barron's</em> was on target this past weekend writing that the home-improvement retailer could have considerable upside in the years ahead. The company still has a tender on the market between $39 and $44, the record day of which may have passed, but there is $10 to $12 billion in buybacks still to come.</li>
    <li><a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/national-semiconductor-corporation/nsm/nys">National Semiconductor Corporation</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/national-semiconductor-corporation/nsm/nys">NSM</a>) -- iPhones are selling and the move to wireless is still the rage, which fits into this wireless semiconductors sweet spot. Following a strong earnings report and a huge share repurchase agreement, the stock rallied to $29.60, but it is now down below $26, essentially erasing all the gains for the good earnings. This is a good entry point.</li>
    <li><a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-aes-corporation/aes/nys">AES Corporation</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-aes-corporation/aes/nys">AES</a>) -- The Fly blogged about this one the other day, with the stock down 15% from its recent high, and continuing to trade poorly, this stock may be worth scooping up.</li>
</ul>
We <a href="http://msft.bloggingstocks.com/2007/07/27/level-3-drop-may-be-a-buying-opportunity/">blogged about a trading opportunity</a> in <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">Level 3 Communications Inc</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/level-3-communications-inc/lvlt/nas">LVLT</a>) the other day, and the stock rallied from $5.00 to $5.40. For those who were nimble enough to sell into yesterday's strength, that trade worked out well. The trades listed above should also work out well as this oversold market has a short-term rebound.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/08/01/stocks-to-look-at-in-this-oversold-market/">Stocks to look at in this oversold market</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:32:00 EST.
