Analyst Update: Financial Results, Exchange Offers, Partnerships, and Upcoming Earnings

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The European stocks rose for the third straight session on Monday amid rising expectations that the European Central Bank will unveil a bond-buying programme this week to save the Euro zone from deflation. Riding high on the hopes of a massive QE rollout, investors also shrugged off uncertainty looming over upcoming Greek election. A recent Reuters' poll showed that 18 out of 20 traders expect the ECB will announce a EUR600 billion sovereign QE programme this week. The Stoxx Europe 600 index added 0.2% to close at 353.18. US markets remained closed for a public holiday. In Asia, markets ended mostly higher, tracking a rally on Wall Street and a rebound in the oil prices, but China's Shanghai Composite was an exception. The Chinese benchmark index fell over 7% on Monday, marking its biggest-one day drop since 2008 financial crisis, after the country's regulators cracked down on speculative lending.

Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed Martin) and Illumina, Inc. announced a new strategic alliance to collaborate on scalable and affordable genomics solutions to provide personalized health care for national populations. In addition, the Company appointed Dan Nelson as the Vice President of Worldwide Media Relations.

Lydall, Inc. (Lydall) announced Q3 2014 sales of $134.2 million, up 37.0% YoY, primarily benefitting from the acquisition of Industrial Filtration, which was acquired in February 2014. Organic sales grew 5.8% YoY and the Company's adjusted operating margin was 8.1%.

William Lyon Homes reported that its subsidiary William Lyon Homes Inc. has commenced a registered exchange offer for the $300 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 issued on August 11, 2014 in a private placement that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (M.D.C. Holdings) set to announce its Q4 2014 earnings on January 28, 2015, before market open. The Company will also host a teleconference the same day at 12:30 p.m. ET. As per Zacks investment research data, the consensus EPS estimate is of 46 cents.
