		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Healthcare Expert Wednesday, February 24, 2010: Issue #1203 Healthcare Reform 2.0 is here – this time without as much pork. Good thing, too. Pork is loaded with cholesterol, which increases heart disease, healthcare costs and… well, you get the idea. The President released his revised plan for healthcare reform earlier this week. And while the new proposal is similar to the Senate’s on Christmas Eve, it eliminates some of the pork to Nebraska and other special interests. I’m not going to politicize, though. I’ll leave that to the wackos on talk radio and cable “news” programs. I’ll just focus on what the plan means to health insurers – and investors. Stemming the Tide of Health Insurance Premium Hikes Obama has stated that his proposal is an opening ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exelon Corporation (EXC) announced second-quarter 2011 operating earnings of $1.05 per share, up from 99 cents per share in the year-ago quarter and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents. The year-over-year growth in earnings was attributable to new electric and gas distribution rates at PECO effective January 2011, higher realized energy prices in the Mid-Atlantic region due to the expiration of the power purchase agreement and due to special tax deduction related to nuclear decommissioning trust funds. GAAP earnings during the quarter were 93 cents, compared with 67 cents in the year-ago period. The difference between operating and GAAP earnings during the quarter was owing to the following one-time items: an impact of 12 cents for mark-to-market losses, 2 cents for the cost associated with the retirement ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The growth outlook of alternative energy companies is inversely related to the prices of petroleum products and directly related to the fortunes of the economy. The recent thaw in oil prices is casting a shadow over this emerging momentum. But even despite the pullback in oil prices, they still remain above historical levels. Nevertheless, we believe that a temporary oil price thaw will do limited, if any, damage to the emerging positive alternative energy narrative. Per the Energy Information Administration (EIA) the projected U.S. refiner crude oil average acquisition cost will rise from $102 per barrel in 2011 to $108 per barrel in 2012. The U.S. economy was not able to completely shake off the negative momentum that plagued the economy in 2010. In the first half of 2011, the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PSEG Power LLC, a unit of Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PEG) announced that it has agreed to the sale of its 1,000 MW gas-fired Odessa generating facility in West Texas. The facility would be sold to Odessa Power, LLC, a subsidiary of Energy Capital Partners II, LP for $335 million. Public Service Enterprise expects to close the sale during the third quarter of 2011. PSEG Power’s Odessa plant is one of the two 1,000 MW gas-fired power plants it has in Texas. The sale of the other facility, Guadalupe, was completed in the first quarter of 2011. Earlier the Odessa Plant was slated to be taken over by High Plains Diversified Energy Corporation (“HPDEC”) for about $335 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Income-oriented investors have yet another reason to be upset with the bond markets. Junk bond yields fell to a record low a few days ago and are staying near those levels. As of Wednesday evening, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield index yielded a mere 6.68%, which isn&#8217;t much when you consider the risk of default. These low yields are just one sign of the bond market&#8217;s cheery mood. Corporations are finding plenty of buyers for their debt, and many offerings have been completed this week. Among the investment-grade companies selling bonds are Google (GOOG), Norfolk Southern (NSC) and Walt Disney (DIS). Included in this week&#8217;s near-record level of junk bond offerings is beleaguered Chrysler, which is refinancing its loan package. Taking advantage of the low interest rates is good ]]></description>

The company spent more than $2 billion constructing new plants and solar farms in the Carolinas in 2010. Duke Energy’s, in the Carolinas, will also receive a boost when the ongoing merger proceedings with Progress Energy Inc. (PGN) are completed. Earlier in January 2011, both companies have unanimously approved the definitive merger agreement to combine the two companies in a stock-for-stock transaction. Duke Energy expects the merger would enable the customers to save $600-800 million in fuel costs in the Carolinas over the next five years. The combined entity would have approximately $65 billion in enterprise value and $37 billion in market capitalization. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently upgraded our recommendation for Ameren Corporation (AEE) from Neutral to Outperform. Ameren’s stable and regulated electric power operations in the Midwest generate a relatively stable and growing earnings stream. Future growth will be guided by improved plant operations, a focus on cost management, allowed an ROE of 10% (Missouri and Illinois), a recovering economy boosting industrial sales, and installation of emissions reduction equipment (scrubbers) at its generation plants. In light of the recovering economy, Ameren is focused on developing the electric transmission infrastructure in its service area (Missouri and Illinois) through investments worth $3 billion over the next 10 to 15 years. The first in line is the ambitious $1.3 billion Grand Rivers project, a 345 KV line across the state of Illinois from the Missouri border to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[State-run utility behemoth Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEP) incurred a net loss of KRW51 billion (USD$45.3 million) for the first nine months of 2010, a decrease of 117.7%, compared with a net income of KRW289 billion (USD$256.8 million) for the first nine months of 2009. This was primarily due to increased power purchase costs. Power purchase costs rose mainly due to an increase in the volume of LNG-based electricity generation. In the first nine months of 2010, Korea Electric Power’s operating revenues went up 15.3% to KRW28.9 trillion (USD$25.7 billion). Sale of electric power, the principal component of operating revenues increased 13.6% year over year to KRW28.1 trillion (USD$25 billion). The increase was mainly due to an average tariff increase of 3.5% as well as a 9.8% year-over-year growth in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our bullish outlook for Ameren Corp. (AEE) is supported by the consistent performance across its solid base of stable utility operations in the Midwestern market, as well as its focus on cost minimization, its strong balance sheet, an above industry average dividend yield and a relatively cheap earnings-based valuation. As of now, the stock is trading at a significant discount versus its peers and the S&#38;P 500. However, given the stable base of regulated operations and expected margin boost from a spike in merchant power prices, the discount is unwarranted. Given these tailwinds, we believe that Ameren&#8217;s current valuation inadequately reflects its fairly balanced risk/reward profile. As such, we see significant upside from current levels and upgrade our recommendation for Ameren to Outperform. AMEREN CORP (AEE): Free Stock Analysis Report ]]></description>
