The profit far exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.73 per share. Revenues soared 35% to an all-time record of $17.2 billion in the quarter, driven by higher sales volume, especially new equipment.

The improvement in sales volume was mainly attributable to higher end-user demand.  Dealer-reported new machine inventory levels went up more than $700 million during the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[The deluge of this morning’s favorable economic and earnings reports should help stocks sustain Wednesday’s Fed-inspired gains. We got positive weekly Initial Jobless Claims numbers and a better-than-expected Durable Goods Orders reading. On the earnings front, Caterpillar’s (CAT) blowout results will likely ease some of the lingering concerns about weakness in China and other emerging markets. Of this morning’s economic releases, the most important number was the roughly in-line Jobless Claims reading, showing a gain of 21K to 377K. Please recall that we saw an unusually big drop last week, likely resulting from complications in seasonally adjusting the data at this time of the year. Today’s reading goes some way towards correcting that. The four-week average, which smooths out the week-to-week fluctuation, dropped by 2.5K to 377.5K, maintaining its downtrend ]]></description>

Caterpillar&#8217;s cash flow for the period is an all-time high and better than the company&#8217;s full-year results so far.

		<description><![CDATA[Spooked by European financial concerns and a sharp decline in commodity prices, benchmarks ended in negative territory for the third-straight day. Borrowing costs recorded euro-era highs and domestic economic data was not strong enough to negate lingering concerns. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 1.1% to settle the day at 11823.48. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) also inched down 1.1% to close yesterday’s trading session at 1211.82. The Nasdaq Composite Index slumped 1.6% and finished at 2539.31. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was up 2.5% to finish at 26.04. Decliners once again outnumbered advancing stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), with only 28% of the stocks moving up, compared to 70% for the decliner.

		<description><![CDATA[Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) is planning to invest $212 million in India to meet the increasing demand for its products due to road construction and overall infrastructure boom in the country. The plan includes building a new $150 million engine manufacturing facility in India that will produce Perkins branded 4000 Series engines. The site selection for the facility is currently under progress. In addition, Caterpillar has slated $62 million for expansion of its existing off-highway truck manufacturing facility in Chennai. Last year, Caterpillar had announced expansion plans to the tune of $108 million to double its truck capacity in Chennai. Caterpillar had then stated that it would invest $700 million over the next four years in a bid to start production of mining shovels and expand output of trucks at its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets eroded initial gains on Tuesday after it emerged that the Federal Reserve had no new gifts to offer to the economy. The central bank also cautioned that the global financial scenario poses a serious threat for the domestic economy. Additionally, with the pre-holiday rush supposedly setting in, a less than expected increase in retail sales acted as a deterrent to optimism among investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) declined 0.6% to finish the day at 11,954.94. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 0.9% and closed the day at 1,225.73. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index settled at 2,579.27, sliding 1.3% lower. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) inched down a percentage to settle at 25.41, and reflected a lower level of concern for the second consecutive ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is said that opportunities are never lost &#8212; someone else will catch the one you miss. And the saying remains true to the equity market. No one wants to miss a good opportunity to make exceptional profits from stock markets. So, is this the time to take the plunge? Or should we wait for the markets to fall further? Well, considering the increasing concerns related to the European economy, it&#8217;s hard to predict the direction of market movement. However, given the significant exposure of U.S. banks to weak European countries, it would be difficult for the country to escape unscathed. So, with the debt crisis picture in the Eurozone getting dirtier, the risk of another major worldwide stock market slump is sky high. Coupled with our own unrelenting problems ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Deere &#38; Company (DE) is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter and fiscal 2011 results on November 23, 2011. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate is $1.44 for the fourth quarter and $6.44 for fiscal 2011, projecting year-over-year growth of 34.1% and 38.5%, respectively. With respect to earnings surprise, over the trailing four quarters, Deere outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The average earnings surprise was 9.04%, implying that Deere has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by the same magnitude over the last four quarters. Previous Quarter Recap Deere’s third-quarter EPS of $1.69 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate and climbed 17% year over year, largely driven by strong demand for farm machinery and improved conditions in the construction and forestry markets. Deere’s worldwide total sales increased 22% year over year to $8.4 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) recently reported sales statistics for the three months ending October 31, with machine sales increasing 31% on a year-over-year basis and engine sales rising 13% across the globe. The 31% sales growth in October was steady with the sales clip in the three months period ending September. Sales growth has nonetheless moderated form the highs of 66% recorded in the month of April. Even though Caterpillar has seen sales ramping in the last 18 months, the rate of increase has of late been tempered by tougher year-on-year comparisons and weakening economic conditions, especially in Europe. Region-wise, the company registered the maximum improvement in North America of 38%, followed by Asia/Pacific and Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (EAME) with a 33% and 32% year-over-year increment, respectively.

		<description><![CDATA[Total Industrial Production rose by 0.7% in October, much better than the 0.4% rise that was expected. However, September was revised down to a decline of 0.1% from being up 0.2%. The Industrial production numbers are often distorted by Utility Output, which is often affected by the weather as much as it is by economic activity. To get a sense of what is happening in the economy, it is worth looking at just manufacturing output. Factory output rose by 0.5%, up from 0.3% in September (revised down from 0.4%) and 0.3% in August. Year over year, total production is up 3.9% while factory output is up 4.1%. That is a healthy increase on both counts. Utility production was once again weak, with a decline of 0.1% for the month, but ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not all the important news is centered on Greece and Italy. The International Energy Agency, or IEA, this week released its World Energy Outlook. The IEA is not some wild-eyed &#8220;peak oil/global warming&#8221; fringe group. They are about as mainstream and staid a group as you are going to find. The bullet points below come from the fact sheet associated with the report (see here). I comment on the implications, particularly the investment implications after each bullet point. Major events of the last year have had an impact on short- and medium-term energy trends, but have done little to quench the world’s increasing thirst for energy in the long term. The level and pattern of energy use worldwide varies markedly across the three scenarios in this year’s World Energy Outlook ]]></description>

Consequently, operating loss of $3.0 billion increased drastically from $114 million in the year-ago quarter. On a GAAP basis, AIG reported a net loss of $4.1 billion or $2.16 per share as compared with $2.5 billion or $18.53 per share in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[We have reiterated our Neutral recommendation on PartnerRe Ltd. (PRE) based on the recent catastrophe (CAT) losses that have severely dampened the bottom line, partially offset by a risk-free balance sheet and a fair amount of liquidity. PartnerRe’s second quarter operating earnings per share of 98 cents came in significantly higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 68 cents, but lagged behind $1.80 recorded in the year-ago quarter. Results deteriorated year over year on the back of higher CAT losses, declining premiums written, poor underwriting results and lower investment income driven by low reinvestment rates, which thereby led to tepid top line and book value growth. To achieve effective and efficient capital allocation, PartnerRe focuses on operating ROE. Despite reducing the share count through a series of share buybacks and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New Orders for Durable Goods dipped a slight 0.1% in August. That was slightly below the consensus expectations of an increase of 0.1%. The July numbers were revised slightly upwards. It was first reported as an increase of 4.0%, but now they say new orders rose 4.1%. Given the volatile nature of the Durable Good series, the miss and the offsetting upward revision are just about irrelevant. The drop from last month is a bit more significant, but only a bit. While this is an important economic indicator, I don’t think it is telling a particularly significant story with this release. Most of the drop from last month was due to the extremely volatile Transportation Equipment side. More specifically, from the Non-Defense Aircraft component, which is often the case when ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benchmarks snapped their three-day winning streak as investors grew anxious about Europe’s lingering debt crisis that is now threatening the global economy. Commodity shares dragged down indices as energy and raw materials lost their sheen after a steep drop in their prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 1.6% to settle at 11,010.90. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 2.1% and finished the day at 1,151.06. The Nasdaq Composite Index slid 2.2% and closed at 2,491.58. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped to hover above 41.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tumbled 3.5% to settle at 10,733.83. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) finished off at 1,129.58, plunging 3.2%.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. (HIG) announced that the devastation caused by Hurricane Irene will lead to substantially high catastrophe (CAT) losses in the third quarter of 2011. The pre-tax catastrophe losses for July and August are expected to be within the range of $150–$250 million. Irene would account for about $75–$175 million. The projected catastrophe loss in the third quarter 2011 will be significantly higher than the year-ago quarter’s loss of $13 million as there were no hurricanes or other major natural calamities in the prior-year quarter. Hartford had also reported considerably high catastrophe losses of $290 million in the second quarter of 2011 due to the tornadoes in April and May. As a result, the company had reported second quarter 2011 core earnings of only $12.0 million ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets registered their first back-to-back gains this month, as industrial and material stocks helped push the benchmarks higher. The trading session was significantly calm compared to the high levels of volatility that the markets endured since early last month. For the first time since July 26, the Dow traded in a narrow range of a little over 150 points. Hopes about European leaders taking steps to resolve the Greek debt crisis also helped the markets’ uptrend. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.4% and finished the day at 11,105.85. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.9% and settled at 1,172.87. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,532.15, after gaining 1.5%.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday fears of Greece defaulting on its debt and a top German official’s resignation from the European Central Bank heightened concerns about the economic situation, which subsequently rattled the US markets. Concerns from Europe overshadowed President Barack Obama’s $447 billion stimulus program as investors remained skeptical about his administration’s ability to actually rescue the flagging economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 303 points or 2.7% to settle at 10,992.13. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) also sank 2.7% to close at 1,154.23.

However, the Dow and S&#38;P 500 recorded their steepest monthly fall since May 2010, even as indices extended their stay in the green for the fourth-straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) opened with gains and was trading substantively higher. However, the Dow lost some of those gains at a later stage to close at 11,613.53, up 0.5%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) climbed 0.5% to finish the day at 1,218.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index could manage only marginal gains and increased 0.1% to settle at 2,579.46.

		<description><![CDATA[The fact that a third round of quantitative easing had found favor among a section of Fed members helped the benchmarks end with mild gains on Tuesday. Indices had been trending down initially and sentiment turned further negative following a disappointing consumer confidence report. But signals in the Fed minutes of a likely third round of economic stimulus helped markets recoup losses and log their third-straight day of gains. After a roller-coaster ride the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) finally posted a 20-point or 0.2%, gain and closed at 11,559.64.

The tech sector helped push the markets higher on Friday, enabling the markets to post its best weekly gains in eight weeks. In another three-digit movement for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), the index gained 1.2% to settle at 11,284.54. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) finished the day at 1,176.80 after climbing 1.5%. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 2.5% and wrapped up the day at 2,479.85.

		<description><![CDATA[We downgraded our recommendation on American International Group Inc. (AIG) to Underperform from Neutral based on the critical sustainability factor given the weak global cues, sluggish insurance dynamics and consistent cash outflow. Despite raising funds in the past few quarters and repaying a chunk of its debt, AIG is yet to attain capital flexibility. The inability to generate cash flow from operations and a dangling capital position has been severely weighing on the share prices that plummeted over 50% between January and July 2011. AIG’s operating cash flow has been declining to an outflow of $3.5 million from cash generation of $16.9 million in 2010 and $18.6 million in 2009. Additionally, AIG has limited sources of raising funds at this juncture, now that Treasury’s stock offering has also been locked ]]></description>

The Street finally enjoyed one of its best days in two years a day after it was sent crashing following Standard &#38; Poor’s downgrade of the US credit rating. Recouping most of the losses suffered on Monday, the indices breathed a sigh of relief, gaining substantive points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 429 points or 4% to sign off at 11,239.77. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) surged 4.7% to close at 1,172.53 and the Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 5.3% to settle at 2,482.52. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) plunged 25%.

		<description><![CDATA[Standard &#38; Poor’s downgraded the US credit rating by a notch, delivering a crushing blow to benchmarks on Monday. Tension from the other side of the Atlantic also dampened sentiment as Europe was gripped by debt woes. Investors also struggled to find a clear answer about whether the recent turmoil means that another recession is in the offing, at a time when the economy is yet to recover from the last one. The credit rating agency’s decision came in on Friday last week after the closing bells. Monday was thus the first trading day after the downgrade, and almost immediately benchmarks ended up in the red. This is the first time that the US has lost its AAA rating since 1917. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) posted its sixth-worst ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dow Jones Industrial Average see-sawed between positive and negative territory, while the markets finished mixed on Friday amid global economic concerns. Encouraging economic reports helped the markets prevent another heavy slide on the closing day of the week, but they were not strong enough to wash out the huge losses suffered through the week as the benchmarks ended their worst week in almost two years. The Dow closed with modest gains at 11,444.61, up 0.5%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined marginally, by 0.06% to settle at 1,199.38. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index shed 0.9% and closed the day at 2,532.41. In what was the worst week for markets in more than two years, the Dow, S&#38;P 500 and the Nasdaq plunged 5.8%, 7.2% and 8.1%, respectively. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The specter of another recession haunted investors and dealt a body blow to the markets which crashed to their worst day since the economic crisis of 2008. On Wednesday, just when the Dow looked like ending its longest losing streak of nine days since Jimmy Carter held office, the index plunged over 500 points to record its ninth-steepest decline. The broad sell-off in the market and resulting panic led to the Dow, Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P) 500 and the Nasdaq plunging 4.3%, 4.8% and 5.1%, respectively. Each benchmark posted its share of records, though none of these brought any cheer to investors. The Dow settled at 11,383.83, losing 512 points, the steepest such decline since Dec. 1, 2008. However, the 512-point decline was far from the 778-points slide that ]]></description>

(AIZ) has reported second quarter 2011 operating earnings of 76 cents per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8 cents and significantly lagging the prior-year quarter’s earnings of $1.35 per share. The quarter’s results were hit by high catastrophe loss (cat loss) incidence and a weak performance at the company’s health unit. Total revenue for the reported quarter stood at $2.1 billion, down 3.6% year over year. Lower earned premiums, along with a decrease in net investment income, primarily accounted for the decline. Net earned premiums fell 4.4% year over year to $1.8 billion owing to a decline in premium across all the business segments. Net investment income inched down 0.8% to $173.8 owing to a drop in yields, while the invested assets remained stable. SegmentPerformance Year ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tenneco Inc. (TEN) showed a profit of $50 million or 81 cents per share (before special items) during the second quarter of the year versus $38 million or 62 cents per share (before special items) in the same quarter of previous year. The profit exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 75 cents per share. Revenues in the quarter rose 26% to $1.89 billion driven by a strong original equipment (OE) production volumes across all regions, launch of new commercial vehicle emissions control business, and improvement in aftermarket sales globally. The earthquake in Japan led to a loss of about $60 million in revenues. Excluding substrate sales, revenues went up 21% to $1.45 billion. Adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes and non-controlling interests) increased to $115 million from $97 million a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With no resolution in sight to the debt ceiling issue, heightened anxiety among investors led the benchmarks lower for the third consecutive day and markets posted their worst day in eight weeks. Adding to the woes, economic sluggishness continued to foster negative sentiments as the Dow seems to be en route to its biggest weekly decline since August last year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has now closed in the red for the past four days and on each of those past four occasions, the declines have got stronger. Yesterday, the blue-chip index settled at 12,302.55, after plunging 198.7 points or 1.6%, recording its biggest one-day drop since early June. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) lost 25 points to close at 1,304.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index suffered ]]></description>

The week also closed with gains as earnings provided enough cushion for the benchmarks to settle in the green. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was the only benchmark to end in the red as it dropped 0.3% to finish the day at 12,681.16. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 1.2% to end the day at 1,345.02. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,858.83, after gaining 0.9%. On the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), consolidated volumes remained low at 3.3 billion shares. The markets’ breadth or the advance decline ratio was roughly even. With the likes of Apple Inc.
