		<description><![CDATA[Stocks will likely be unable to sustain the three-day rally of sorts as the reality of economic growth uncertainty comes back to center stage. We have a number of reports out this morning that highlight the lack of economic growth, not just here in the U.S., but also in Europe. We have known about Europe&#8217;s debt problems for awhile, but this morning brought in a weaker-than-expected report about EuroZone&#8217;s GDP growth in the second quarter. German economic growth was barely in the positive column, while France had no growth at all. The sharp slowdown from the first quarter&#8217;s growth pace raises questions about the interest rate hikes implemented by the European Central Bank recently. Lack of growth makes it difficult for European leaders to tackle the common market&#8217;s escalating debt ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite that NYSE refused NASDAQ’s $11.3 billion take over offer earlier last week, NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) appears to still be very game to merge with NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX). On Friday, NYSE was reported to be open to selling its American Stock Exchange (Amex) in order to mitigate an antitrust concern, which was one of many reasons for NYSE’s refusal. Last Monday, NYSE affirmed its $10.0 billion merger deal with Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse AG, discarding NASDAQ and IntercontinentalExchange Inc.’s (ICE) rival bid of $11.3 billion, citing multiple concerns. The NYSE management cited that it is not interested in splitting up the company’s business while also extending additional debt burden on the merged company, thereby posing ample execution risk on the company.

		<description><![CDATA[Agilent Technologies (A) is a broad-based OEM of test and measurement equipment. The company&#8217;s January quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, helped by revenue growth, operating margin expansion and a lower tax rate. Agilent&#8217;s leadership position, history of innovation, stable gross margins and steadily improving operating margins, turnaround in the EM segment, acquisition strategy and position in China are the chief elements of our positive thesis. In contrast, the stabilization in the EM segment, impact of Varian and high debt position are not that much of a concern. We believe Agilent shares are undervalued at these levels. We are therefore reiterating our Outperform recommendation and raising the price target to $54.00 (20.5X 2011 EPS).

		<description><![CDATA[Crude prices soared to more than $104 per barrel, the highest level since September 2008, following continued tension in Libya and dragged the markets lower on Friday. Not only did surging crude prices erase most of the gains for the week, it also negated the positive sentiment coming from the decline in unemployment rate. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 2.7% to 19.11. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.7% to close at 12,169.88. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 0.7% and finished the day at 1,321.15. The Nasdaq Composite Index ended at 2,784.67 and shed 0.5%.

		<description><![CDATA[Agilent Technologies’ (A) first quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus by 3 cents, or 5.3%. Revenue growth, expansion in Electronic Measurement segment margins, a lower interest expense and a lower tax rate helped drive results in the last quarter. Revenue Agilent’s revenue was down 3.3% sequentially (normal seasonality) and up 25.6% year over year. Excluding the impact of Varian, Agilent’s revenues were down 3.6% sequentially and up 25.2% from last year, more or less in line with management’s expectations. Currency had a slight positive impact on Agilent’s Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis comparisons and was slightly negative to Electronic Measurement comparisons (when compared with year-ago results). The overall impact of currency on Agilent’s year-over-year comparisons was neutral. Agilent stated that logistics issues caused Varian-based revenue to fall $30 million below ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sharp differences among global leaders over trade policies and a flaring currency dispute that was keeping investors on toes lost some significance on Thursday as Cisco System’s disappointing outlook surprised the market and sent stocks lower. The Dow average plunged more than 126 points before regaining some lost ground. The blue-chip average closed with a drop of 74 points, or 0.7%, to 11283.10. Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) was the average’s leading decliner, dropping more than 16%. The plunge shaved $24 billion off the technology bellwether’s market capitalization. The broader S&#38;P 500 index fell slightly more than 5 points, or 0.4%, to 1213.54 and the technology-focused Nasdaq Composite index fell 23 points, or 0.9%, to 2555.52.

However, despite Dillon’s long stint at Agilent, share prices did not reflect concern due to his departure. This is mainly because the company’s end markets are seeing strong recovery that Agilent is well positioned to take advantage of. Stronger Markets Revenue was ahead of the Zacks Consensus in the last quarter, with North America stabilizing, Europe benefiting from currency gains and Asia continuing to grow strongly. The company also changed its reporting structure to better reflect the growing prospects in the previously reported Bio-Analytical segment.

Agilent generates very stable gross margins, and recent restructuring actions should also improve operating margins. The company&#8217;s leadership position, history of innovation, acquisition strategy and position in China are other positive factors. Although the EM segment has been severely hit by the recession, there was a marked improvement in the last quarter. Although the debt load is considerable and liquidity appears to be limited, we are optimistic about the turnaround in its business. Consequently, we are upgrading Agilent shares to Outperform.
