S&P RECOMMENDATION ON SHARES OF U.S. STEEL

S&P LOWERS RECOMMENDATION ON SHARES OF U.S. STEEL TO STRONG SELL FROM SELL (Standard & Poor’s) Our opinion change is based on valuation. We continue to estimate EPS of $2.68 in ‘10 and $5.73 in ‘11 and we retain our 12 month target price of $35. On our estimate for ’10’s EPS, X’s projected P/E would be in line with the P/E we apply to its main integrated peer and at a discount to the P/E we apply to its minimill rivals. After a sizable gain in the stock price, we think that X is overvalued relative to all of its peers, now selling at nearly 22X our ‘10 EPS estimate and believe X is vulnerable to a decline on that basis.

Latin America stocks down following U.S. data

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Major equity markets in Latin America fell Tuesday, with risk aversion spurred in part by a poor showing in monthly confidence among U.S. consumers.
The Bovespa index in Sao Paulo dropped 1.6% to 66,108.33, as only five of the 63 stocks on the index finished higher. Department-store operator Lojas Renner (BR:LOJAS RENNER 39.30, +1.79, +4.77%) shares jumped 4.8%, with UBS Pactual backing its buy rating on the company after it posted “impressive” growth in fourth-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization on Monday.
