Los índices bursátiles de EE.UU. continúan en picada por el precio del crudo

Por Donna Kardos Yesalavich

NUEVA YORK (Dow Jones)--Las acciones en Estados Unidos caían el jueves por tercera sesión consecutiva a medida persisten las preocupaciones por la agitación política en Libia y los altos precios del petróleo.

Tras las fuertes pérdidas de las últimas dos sesiones, el Promedio Industrial Dow Jones descendía 75 puntos a 12031. La mayor parte de los 30 componentes del Dow caían, arrastrados por una baja del 2,3% de Hewlett-Packard y un descenso del 2,3% de Bank of America.

El índice compuesto Nasdaq perdía 4 puntos a 2719. El Standard & Poor's 500 descendía casi 6 puntos a 1300, con sus sectores de materiales y energía encabezando las pérdidas.

El descenso se produce al tiempo que los futuros del petróleo se elevan a los US$99 por barril mientras el líder libio Muamar Gadafi acusó a sus oponentes de estar bajo la influencia de al Qaeda.

En tanto, los inversionistas se preocupan de que el alza de los precios del petróleo pueda afectar el gasto de consumo y terminar desacelerando la recuperación de la economía estadounidense.

Los datos económicos de Estados Unidos no mostraron una dirección clara. Las solicitudes iniciales de beneficios por seguro de desempleo cayeron más de lo esperado y los pedidos de bienes duraderos se elevaron por sobre lo previsto en un 2,7% el mes pasado, tras tres descensos consecutivos, impulsado por un aumento en la demanda por aviones.

En tanto, las ventas de viviendas nuevas cayeron el mes pasado y revirtieron gran parte de las alzas del mes anterior.

Entre las acciones que centran la atención, Priceline.com Inc. (PCLN) registró un incremento del 73% en su ganancia del cuarto trimestre. Las acciones subían un 7,7%.

La ganancia de la tienda minorista Target se elevó un 11% al tiempo que mejoraros sus ingresos. Hace unos momentos, Target avanzaba un 2,8%.

Sin embargo, Sears Holdings Corp. perdía un 4,96%. Más temprano, la empresa informó que su ganancia neta cayó un 13% al tiempo que menores ventas en sus tiendas del mismo nombre siguieron opacando el crecimiento de su cadena Kmart.

General Motors informó una ganancia neta de US$510 millones para el cuarto trimestre, levemente por debajo de lo esperado por un aumento del gasto. Sus acciones caían un 4,19%.

TODAY'S MARKETSFEBRUARY 24, 2011, 1:40 P.M. ET
Shares Slide for a Third Session
By DONNA KARDOS YESALAVICH

NEW YORK—Stocks fell for a third straight day on Thursday, as worries persisted over turmoil in Libya and how the resulting surge in oil prices might affect the U.S. economic recovery.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, having fallen steeply in the two previous sessions, lost another 64 points, or 0.5%, to 12042, in midday trading. The decline put the measure on pace for its biggest three-day drop since mid-August.

All but a handful of the Dow's 30 components were in the red, led by a 2.4% drop in Hewlett-Packard and a 2.3% decline in Bank of America. Travelers shed 2%, Wal-Mart Stores declined 2%, and DuPont fell 1.8%.


Crude-oil futures traded above $100/barrel for a second day as the Libyan uprising continues to spook investors, and people start to look at the broader economic effects of $100 oil. Donna Kardos Yesalavich, Jerry DiColo and Paul Vigna report.

The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index shed 0.5% to 1301, with every sector in the red.

Price of Oil Prompts Concern for Stocks
The energy sector posted the steepest drop, weighed down by refiners. Oil is a refinery's largest cost, so rising crude prices can weigh on profits if refiners aren't able to pass those costs on to customers through higher gasoline or heating oil prices. Tesoro tumbled 5.6%, while Sunoco fell 3.6%.

The declines came as crude-oil futures climbed above $99 a barrel as Libyan rebels controlling large swaths of the country promised an offensive against the capital, Tripoli. Analysts expressed concern that the turmoil could spread to other oil exporters in the region.

Investors fretted that the rising crude prices could hurt consumer spending and ultimately slow down the recovery of the U.S. economy.

"Higher crude prices will shift around where people have to spend their money," said Hank Herrmann, chief executive of Waddell & Reed Financial Inc. and the investment-policy committee of Ivy Investment Co. "Higher crude prices, especially if they go much higher, [are] going to correlate to slower economic growth and a higher inflation rate."

He added that the market is now being hit with "a double whammy: confidence eroding and the cost of energy going up," noting that "confidence has played an important role in the economic recovery."

U.S. economic data came in mixed. Initial jobless claims fell more than expected. But while durable-goods orders rose a bigger-than-expected 2.7% in January after three straight declines, the gain was driven mostly by a surge in demand for airplanes. New orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft declined 6.9% last month.

In addition, sales of new homes tumbled last month, reversing most of the previous month's gains as the housing market started off the year on a weak footing.

The latest round of U.S. corporate earnings also was mixed.

Priceline.com posted a 73% jump in fourth-quarter profit as a rise in international bookings fueled top-line growth and margins surged. The company's core earnings topped analysts' estimates, and it gave upbeat guidance. The stock jumped 8% and helped lift the Nasdaq Composite, which edged up 0.1% to 2726.

Target climbed 2.9%. The retailer's fourth-quarter earnings rose 11% as revenue improved. The company also benefited from sharply lower bad-debt expense at its credit-card arm.

Kohl's climbed 1.6%. The company projected 2011 earnings below Wall Street views, but investors were heartened to see the department-store operator's board authorize the first dividend in the company's history. It also increased the company's stock-buyback program.

General Motors reported $510 million in net income for the fourth quarter, a slimmer-than-expected profit because of increased spending on new vehicle programs, scaled back production of high-margin trucks and charges attached to last year's initial public offering. Its shares fell 5.4%.

Sears Holdings fell 4.7%. The retailer's fourth-quarter earnings slipped 13% as declining sales at its namesake stores continued to more than offset growth at its Kmart stores. The company on Wednesday announced a new chief executive after a three-year search: Lou D'Ambrosio, a long-time technology executive who had been consulting with the company.

Stocks have fallen in the past two sessions as oil prices soar.

Earnings Preview: AIG Looks to Return to Normalc
By SERENA NG

American International Group Inc.'s financial performance has been an anomaly in the insurance sector over the past few years, and its fourth-quarter results released later today will again buck the industry trend.

However, as the bailed-out insurer re-engages with Wall Street analysts this week, it will likely try to convince them why its future performance could be similar to its peers.

AIG is scheduled to report fourth-quarter and 2010 results after the market closes today. On Friday morning, company officials led by Chief Executive Robert Benmosche will host AIG's first earnings conference call in two years to discuss the company's performance and outlook for its businesses, which now chiefly comprise a global property and casualty insurer, a large domestic life insurer, a mortgage insurer and an aircraft-leasing business.

Many Wall Street analysts dropped coverage of AIG after it was rescued by the U.S. government in late 2008. Most are likely to publish research on the company again as AIG prepares for a large stock offering in the spring that could top $20 billion in size and bring the government closer to recouping its massive AIG investment.

"Explaining to the investment public who AIG is today, and what it's no longer, is a key challenge for the company," James Millstein, the Treasury Department's chief restructuring officer, said in an interview on Wednesday afternoon. "This company has been massively transformed from the company that knocked on the door of the Federal Reserve in September 2008," he added.

Mr. Millstein is leaving the Treasury this Friday after spending most of the past 21 months working on AIG's restructuring. The government is now largely a passive shareholder in AIG, having converted its preferred shares into common shares representing a 92.1% ownership of the company. It is planning to sell a chunk of its stake in the coming stock offering.

Vote: Was the government rescue of AIG in 2008 worthwhile?
AIG's fourth-quarter results will include various charges, the most significant being a $4.1 billion net charge to reflect an increase in loss reserves for its property- and casualty-insurance business. AIG earlier this month said it raised claims estimates for "long-tailed" insurance policies previously sold by the business, now known as Chartis, following a year-end review of its liabilities. The charge will wipe out virtually all of the unit's operating profit for 2010. The revised estimates also prompted AIG to pump $2 billion into Chartis to support its capital position.

Chartis is taking the big hit to earnings while other large property and casualty insurers like Travelers Cos. and Chubb Corp. have been reducing their overall estimates of future claims, boosting their reported profits.

Analysts have flagged the volatility of AIG's reserves as a major concern for investors, making it difficult for them to gauge the insurer's earnings outlook.

"The truth of the matter is that AIG wrote some very long-tailed policies, and a lot of factors influence the creation of appropriate reserves," Mr. Millstein said in the interview. "It's a big charge, and hopefully they've cleaned up their positions so that they don't have to do this again."

Going forward, Chartis is expected to produce roughly half of AIG's annual operating earnings, with the other half mostly coming from SunAmerica Financial Group, the company's domestic life-insurance and retirement-services business. In the first nine months of 2010, SunAmerica reported "core" operating earnings of about $3.1 billion, and its sales of products like variable annuities and life insurance have rebounded strongly from crisis lows.

The fourth-quarter results are also likely to include restructuring-related gains or losses. During the period, AIG completed the sale of a large overseas life insurer to MetLife Inc., closed a deal to divest itself of a majority of its consumer-finance business, and sold a majority stake in pan-Asian life insurer AIA Group Ltd. via an initial public offering in Hong Kong. AIA Group is scheduled to release its full-year results before the market opens in Hong Kong on Friday morning.

AIG's aircraft-leasing business, International Lease Finance Corp., could also report impairment charges on parts of its large fleet of aircraft, as it did during the third quarter.
