		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 10/14/11 While the earnings season kicked off this past week, only 38 firms reported. The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Hudson City Bancorp Inc. (HCBK) to Underperform from Neutral considering its fundamentals, dividend cut, restructuring initiatives and the current low interest rate environment. Hudson City reported a loss of $555.7 million or $1.13 per share on a GAAP basis in the first quarter of 2011 due to the completion of balance sheet restructuring during the quarter. Yet, operating earnings of 19 cents per share were significantly better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a massive loss aided by lower interest expense and reduced provision for loan losses. But, lower interest and dividend income, and increased non-interest expense were the downside. Concurrent with the earnings release, Hudson City declared a quarterly dividend of 8 cents per share. This represented a 47% decrease from the prior ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are reiterating our Neutral recommendation on People&#8217;s United Financial Inc. (PBCT) backed by the company’s better-than-expected first-quarter 2011 earnings. In April, People&#8217;s United reported first-quarter 2011 operating earnings per share of 15 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. Moreover, earnings compared favorably with 10 cents per share reported in the prior quarter and 8 cents in the prior-year quarter. The modest improvement in results was attributable to higher net interest margin (NIM) and enhanced revenue, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses and increased provision for loan losses. Despite an asset sensitive balance sheet, People’s United continues to pose a modest capital position with capital ratios exceeding each of the regulatory requirements. Its tangible equity ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 13.9% and 14.8%, respectively, as ]]></description>

The restructuring condensed higher-cost structured borrowings, which are expected to increase net interest income in the coming quarters as interest expenses goes down. As a part of restructuring, Hudson City paid off $12.5 billion in structured quarterly putable borrowings. The funds for the payment were arranged through the sale of $8.7 billion of securities and $5.0 billion of new shorter-term fixed maturity borrowings with an average cost of 0.66%. Recent market proceedings and the United States government’s participation in both the mortgage markets, through the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC), and the maintenance of low market interest rates, resulted in an environment that has caused balance sheet to be less ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have maintained our Neutral recommendation on People’s United Financial Inc. (PBCT). The decision is based on synergies gains expected from recent acquisitions, but low interest environment might act as a deterrent to net interest income of the company. In January, People&#8217;s United announced fourth-quarter 2010 operating earnings per share of 10 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results compared favorably with 8 cents per share reported both in the prior quarter and prior-year quarter. The modest improvement in results was attributed to lower provision for loan losses, higher net interest margin (NIM) and enhanced revenue, which was partly offset by higher non-interest expenses. Despite an asset sensitive balance sheet, People’s United continues to pose a modest capital position with capital ratios exceeding each of the regulatory requirements. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hudson City Bancorp&#8217;s (HCBK) third-quarter earnings came a penny behind the Zacks Consensus Estimate, reflecting lower interest margin, increased noninterest expense and a higher provision for loan losses. We expect pressure on earning assets and margin to continue with the low interest rate environment, which is anticipated to persist in the upcoming quarters, thereby dampening investors appetite for this stock. Along with this, the elevated levels of credit costs remain a concern for the company. Continuing high levels of unemployment and deterioration of home prices still prevalent in some of its lending markets arouses our concern. Moreover, the recent regulatory moves are also expected to pull down the company&#8217;s bottom line. As such, we reiterate our Underperform recommendation on the stock.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK) to Underperform. The company&#8217;s second-quarter operating earnings came in just a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, primarily helped by lower interest expense, partially offset by an increase in provision for loan losses and a lower interest margin. Though a solid business model and strong capital levels are upsides, we believe that the elevated levels of credit metrics remain a concern for the company. The recent regulatory moves are also expected to pull down the company&#8217;s bottom line. Moreover, the low interest rate environment, anticipated to continue in the upcoming quarters, would restrict the company&#8217;s margin, thereby dampening investors&#8217; appetite for this stock.
