Many large and significant companies will be reporting.  They include Cisco (CSCO), CVS (CVS), Disney (DIS), Humana (HUM), Coca-Cola  (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), Time Warner (TWX) and Yum Brands (YUM). Unlike last week, it will be a relatively quiet week for economic data.  We will get the Job Opening and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which will provide some more detail to the December jobs picture.  We will also find out if Consumer Credit (not including mortgages) expanded in December.  The only other reports of significance, other ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) announced its third-quarter 2011 operating earnings of 50 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. However, the results were marginally lower than the year-ago earnings of 51 cents per share. The results were driven by Duke Energy’s ability to consistently meet electricity demand during the summer months, combined with excellent performance from its International business unit. The company reported GAAP earnings per share of 35 cents versus 51 cents per share in the year-ago period. This includes Edwardsport impairment charges of 10 cents, emission allowances impairment charges of 4 cents and costs-to-achieve the merger with Progress Energy Inc. (PGN) of 1 cent. In the quarter under review, the company incurred a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $220 million related to the company’s ]]></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[Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) said that its unit Duke Energy Carolinas has filed for a rate increase, as planned, with the North Carolina Utilities Commission  to recover the investments made by the company over the last two years. If approved, the new rates will come into effect from February 2012. The previous rate hike for the company was approved in 2009, which resulted in an increase of $7.30 per month in the residential bill for consumers who typically use 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power per month. If the new rate is approved by the commission it will result in a steep $19 hike per month for residential consumers utilizing 1,000 kWh of power month. In the process the company will stand to benefit $646 million from the rate hike. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Duke Energy Corporation’s (DUK) subsidiary Duke Energy Carolinas has filed a notice with North Carolina regulators that it will apply for a rate increase on July 1, 2011. The company expects the higher rates will go into effect from January 1, 2012. Duke Energy’s recent plan for rate case hike is second in a series of three increases. The hikes are tied largely to recovering investments for the construction of the 825-megawatt expansion at the Cliffside Steam station and the 620-megawatt Buck combined-cycle natural gas plant. Duke Energy got the first rate hike of 4.3% for residential customers implemented January 1, 2010. Duke will seek a third increase, likely to be filed in 2013. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Duke Energy is one of the largest electric power holding companies ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Constellation Energy’s (CEG) merchant energy business provides a relatively stable and growing earnings stream through wholesale energy-related products and services. The company has a diversified fleet of power generating units, strong balance sheet compared to its peers and the synergies from the Exelon Corporation (EXC) merger, which are among the other positives. However, adverse decisions in pending regulatory cases, lowered electricity demand and erratic weather conditions somewhat weigh on the positives. We thus retain our Neutral recommendation on the company. Constellation Energy’s merger with Exelon Corporation is expected to be a strategic fit and earnings accretive to the combined entity in the second year itself. The merger deal would provide a huge boost in terms of lowering collateral costs for its competitive businesses. The company will also acquire StarTex Power, ]]></description>

It has also asked the regulators to lower the overall customer rate increase related to the project from approximately 19% to 16%. On an average, this would affect the residential homeowner by about 14%. Additionally, Duke Energy wants Indiana customers to experience the benefits of bonus depreciation.

However, Constellation will ask its French partner to reimburse expenses of $117 million, which the company had incurred while developing the nuclear asset. With a view to constructing the third nuclear reactor at Constellation&#8217;s Calvert Cliffs plant in Maryland, the companies entered into a joint venture to form UniStar. Constellation decided to back out of the joint venture citing higher construction costs and a fall in the prices for natural gas that dampened the prospects of the project.

This is in-line with the company’s aim to improve liquidity and strengthen the balance sheet.

The debt-loaded company with a debt-to-equity ratio of 134.6% after the first half of fiscal 2009 dished out $143.9 million in interest expenses during the recent second quarter of 2009 compared to only $78.8 million in the year-ago quarter.
