Cramer's Take on Headline Stocks: June 21

NEW YORK (stocksource) -- Regardless of why a stock is in the news, it never hurts to hear what a professional investor has to say about it. The key is to gather as much information as you can in order to make the most informed investment decisions you can. As Jim Cramer (read an excerpt from his new book here) often reminds, investors must do their homework.

So what has Cramer had to say lately about today's headline-makers?

In recent blog post, Cramer wrote:

"All sorts of groups appear buyable, including aerospace with Boeing(BA) leading; auto, withMagna(MGA) and Ford and health care, withCardinal(CAH), Express Scripts(ESRX),Medco(MHS), Stericycle(SRCL), and United Health(UNH) (the HMOs all show up strongly, at last) finally joining AmerisourceBergen(ABC) with nice trends."

First Solar(FSLR): China's decision to allow the yuan to appreciate against the dollar could give a boost to solar stocks such as First Solar and SunPower(SPWRA).

On a "Lightning Round" segment earlier this month, Cramer told viewers to sell First Solar. "You cannot make solar profitable here," he said. "This is the first subsidy that governments will be cutting. Don't get beheaded. "

Apple(AAPL): Apple's iPad should see some competition soon from Nokia(NOK), which has produced prototypes of a tablet it hopes will be ready by the fall, according to DigiTimes.

On Friday's "Mad Money" show, Cramer said that earnings reports this week fromAdobe(ADBE) AND Research in Motion(RIMM) will provide insight into Action Alerts PLUSstock Apple's effect on the companies. Cramer told viewers to pick up more Apple on any weakness.

Stocks Mixed In Mid-Morning Trading - U.S. Commentary

(RTTNews) - Stocks are mixed in mid-morning trading on Monday as traders are digesting a better-than-expected reading on leading economic indicators and upbeat earnings from Citigroup (C). Meanwhile, concerns regarding the future of Goldman Sachs (GS) remain a significant overhang for the markets.

In an upbeat sign for the economy, the Conference Board released a report showing that its index of leading economic indicators rose by 1.4 percent in March following an upwardly revised 0.4 percent increase in February.

Economists had expected the index to increase by 1 percent compared to the 0.1 percent growth originally reported for the previous month.

On the earnings front today, Citigroup (C) reported first quarter net income of $0.14 per share, compared to a loss of $0.16 per share in the prior year quarter. Wall Street analysts expected the company to record breakeven results for the period.

The company said its revenues for the quarter totaled $25.42 billion, down from $26.97 billion in the prior year quarter but well above estimates of $20.77 billion for the quarter.

Additionally, Halliburton Co. (HAL) reported first quarter net income of $0.23 per share, down sharply from $0.42 per share in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding the impact of the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolívar Fuerte, the company said it earned $0.28 per share.

On average, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to earn $0.25 per share for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.

Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) said its adjusted first quarter net earnings came in at $1.18 per share, topping forecasts that called for $1.10 per share for the quarter. Meanwhile, net revenues of $5.49 billion missed estimates of $5.54 billion.

The major averages are currently on opposite sides of the unchanged line, with the Nasdaq posting a modest loss. While the Nasdaq is down 1.53 points or 0.1 percent at 2,479.73, the Dow is up 12.10 points or 0.1 percent at 11,030.76 and the S&P 500 is up 1.81 points or 0.2 percent at 1,193.94.

Sector News

Health insurance stocks are some of the morning's best performers, as reflected by the 2.9 percent advance by the Morgan Stanley Healthcare Payor Index. Amerigroup (AGP) is one of the sector's leading percentage gainers, rising by 2.5 percent. The upward move has lifted the stock to its best intraday price in over two years.

Banking stocks are also seeing notable buying interest as traders are doing some bargain hunting in the sector following Friday's sell-off and amid reaction to today's earnings report from Citigroup. The Kbw Bank Index is currently up by 0.7 percent and remains near last week's seventeen-month intraday high.

Commercial real estate, biotechnology and healthcare provider stocks are also notably higher, while weakness is visible among computer hardware, semiconductor and gold stocks.

Stocks Driven By Analyst Comments

AK Steel (AKS) is moving lower after being downgraded at Longbow from Buy to Neutral. The broker cited rising iron ore prices as a reason for the ratings change. The stock has lost 3 percent and has sunk to a six-week intraday low.

Lifepoint Hospitals (LPNT) is also under pressure following a downgrade at Goldman Sachs from Neutral to Sell based on valuation. Shares are currently down by 0.7 percent after setting their lowest intraday price in roughly a month's time.

On the other hand, Endo Pharmaceuticals (ENDP) is on the rise after being upgraded at Goldman Sachs from Neutral to Buy. The stock has risen by 3.6 percent, setting a three-week intraday high.

Other Markets

Overseas, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region closed firmly lower on Monday. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 Index slid by 1.7 percent, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell by 2.1 percent.

The major European markets are also moving lower. The U.K.'s FTSE 100, the French CAC 40 Index and the German DAX Index are all down by roughly 1 percent.

In the bond markets, treasuries are modestly lower. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, is trading at 3.790 percent, posting a gain of 2 basis points.

Stocks in the News: Toyota, Xerox, Royal Bank of Scotland, Ford, Apple...

The following is a round-up of news likely to affect stock prices today:

Two federal agencies are joining the U.S. government's effort to discover if electronics may be the source of unintended acceleration in Toyota Motor (TM) vehicles. Scientists from NASA with electronics expertise will help the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to study the potential for the problem, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Monday. In a separate study, the National Academy of Sciences will examine unintended acceleration issues across the industry, LaHood said. Toyota has repeatedly denied electronics as source of the problem, instead saying mechanical issues and driver unfamiliarity are to blame.

Xerox (XRX) Chairman Anne M. Mulcahy plans to retire in May, the Norwalk, Conn., company said Tuesday. Mulcahy, 57, is credited with turning the venerable copier company around during the last decade. She stepped down as CEO in July.

Bailed-out British lender Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has been fined 28.6 million pounds ($43 million) for sharing loan pricing details with rival Barclays (BCS), Britain's Office of Fair Trading said Tuesday.

Ford Motor (F) said in a Securities and Exchange filing it expects an increase in March sales similar to those of the last few months. The Dearborn, Mich., auto maker's sales have increased by 33% the last 3 months.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple (AAPL) is prepping two new models of its wildly popular smart phone for release this summer, and one could be ready for use on Verizon Wireless's CDMA network. That would end three years of AT&T (T) iPhone exclusivity. Verizon Wireless is a joint venture between Verizon Communications (VZ) and London-based Vodaphone Group (VOD).

The U.S. Treasury Department plans to sell its 27% stake in Citigroup (C) this year, a move that could result in the biggest profit to taxpayers in the bank-bailout program. Treasury, Citigroup's largest shareholder, will dispose of its 7.7 billion common shares throughout 2010, the agency said Monday.

Sprint Nextel (S) CEO Dan Hesse received compensation valued at $12.3 million in 2009, down 13% from the year before, according to a regulatory filing. Hesse, 56, received a salary of $1.2 million and a performance-based bonus of $1.3 million in 2009, The Associated Press reported.

Container maker BWAY Corp. (BWY) has announced it will go private in a $915 million transaction, including the assumption of debt.

Google (GOOG) confirmed Monday that some of its mobile features in China had been partially blocked, raising the specter that its position in that country was deteriorating even further. Google didn't specify the nature of the block, saying the availability of its online services fluctuates regularly and that it was too early to confirm if the block would be permanent, or even if it was related to the feud with China. Google maintains a page at its website that updates issues about "service accessibility from within mainland China."

Morgan Stanley (MS) and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group have entered into agreements to integrate their securities operations in Japan. The companies expect to commence joint venture operations as of May 1.
