		<description><![CDATA[The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (MTW) reported a net loss of 7 cents per share for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a net profit of 3 cents per share and prior-year earnings of 46 cents per share. Revenue in the quarter declined 31.1% to $838.7 million from $1,216.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The year-over-year decline in sales was primarily driven by lower volumes in the Crane segment. The Foodservice segment benefited from the acquisition of Enodis plc. The Crane segment’s sales fell 49.1% to $480.2 million in the quarter from $943.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, as a weak global crane market led to depressed sales across product lines. As of December 31, 2009, the Crane segment backlog stood ]]></description>

Earlier this week, my colleague Marc Lichtenfeld detailed the impact that a healthcare reform bill will have on the various industries and stocks within the healthcare and biotech sectors.
