Analyst Update: Restructuring Plans, Quarterly Results, Share Repurchase, Dividend, and Upcoming Conference Calls

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The U.S. stock markets on Tuesday closed mostly higher with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closing above 18,000 for the first time, amidst positive data, which showed that economic activity in third quarter expanded at its fastest pace since Q3 2003. The DJIA closed at 18,024.17, up 0.36%, while the S&P 500 closed at record high of 2,082.2, up 0.17%. The NASDAQ, however, ended the day in red, down 0.33% at 4,765.4. The U.S. markets got a boost from the revised Q3 GDP growth data, which showed that the Country's GDP accelerated to an annualized rate of 5.0%, up from 3.9%, predicted earlier. European stocks too rose, buoyed by positive across the Atlantic, even though a fall in Greek stocks kept a lid on gains. The stocks were also helped by positive economic news from Spain and Portugal. The Bank of Spain raised its economic forecast, while Portugal's budget deficit shrank to 4.3% of its GDP in the 12 months to the end of September, from 4.8% a year earlier. The Asian stock markets ended the day on a mixed note with lower trading volumes ahead of Christmas holiday.

Huntsman Corporation (Huntsman) announced initiatives to improve the global competitiveness of its pigments and additives business. As part of its comprehensive restructuring program, the Company intends to lay off approx. 900 employees, which is likely to save an annual cost of c. $130 million by mid-2016.

IAMGOLD Corp.'s (IAMGOLD) third quarter 2014 top line increased, led by higher gold sales volumes. On the other hand, higher costs continued to adversely impact the bottom-line. The Company has narrowed its 2014 gold production guidance but has retained its yearly cash cost guidance for gold mines.

Installed Building Products Inc. (Installed Building Products) has agreed to buy-back 300,000 shares of its common stock in privately-negotiated transaction. The Company will repurchase at a price of $17.61 per share, the closing price of Company's common stock on December 11, 2014.

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc.'s (International Flavors & Fragrances) Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.47 per share on its common stock. The dividend, which was declared on December 16, 2014, is payable on January 9, 2015 to shareholders of record as of December 30, 2014.

International Paper Co. (International Paper) plans to release its fourth quarter and full-year 2014 earnings on January 28, 2015, before the opening of the New York Stock Exchange. The Company will also conduct a webcast at 9:00 a.m. ET or 8:00 a.m. CT on the same day to discuss the earnings.
