Gannett Co. Inc. (GCI), the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S., recently reported third-quarter 2009 results. Despite a faltering economy and decline in print advertising revenue, the company’s earnings topped expectations, buoyed by effective cost-cutting measures, lower newsprint expense, reduction in headcount and pay cuts. Operating expenses dropped 14.4% to $1,179.6 million. Gannett’s quarterly earnings of 44 cents a share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents as well as the company’s expected guidance range of 39 cents to 42 cents a share. However, earnings fell 42.1% year-on-year from 76 cents reported in the prior-year quarter due to an 18.4% decline registered in the total revenue of $1,336.6 million. On a reported basis, including one-time items, earnings came in at 31 cents a share, down 55.1% from 69 cents posted in the year-ago quarter. Gannett is facing the same dramatic decline in advertising revenue ...

The shares of Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) rallied after the news of its better-than-expected third quarter profit hit the market. The shares of Gannett rocketed to close at $11.74 on Sep 29, 2009 , up nearly 17.6% from the previous day’s close. Gannett, the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S., notified that it now expects third quarter earnings in the range of 39 cents to 42 cents a share, which far outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents. However, this marks a sharp decline from 76 cents delivered in the prior-year quarter. On a reported basis, including special charges like facility consolidations and workforce restructuring, EPS is expected to be between 25 cents and 31 cents. The stringent cost-cutting measures and lower newsprint expenses have helped to drive the bottom-line results. After trimming its work force by 10%, Gannett revealed plans to further slash ...

An unexpected drop in consumer confidence sent U.S. stocks lower Tuesday, as signs of stabilization in housing and Walgreen’s solid earnings failed to convince investors about the strength of an economic recovery.  Although stocks rose slightly after the opening bell, the early morning release of the confidence report took the Street by surprise and signaled the American consumers are not as hopeful about an economic turnaround.

Stocks swung between gains and losses and volume remained light.  Treasury prices declined, with the 10-year off 4/32 and the corresponding yield rising to 3.293%.  The Dow Jones industrial average lost 47 points, or 0.5%. The S&P 500 index lost 2 points, or 0.2%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite retreated 2 points, or 0.2%.  On the New York Stock Exchange, 1.18 billion shares exchanged hands with losers narrowly ahead of winners.

The greenback showed modest gains against a basket of currencies, closing at its

Standard & Poor's Upgrades McClatchy's Corporate Rating

On Tuesday June 30, 2009, Standard & Poor's raised its corporate credit rating for newspaper publisher McClatchy (MNI) to "CC" (highly vulnerable) from "SD," (selective default). The rating agency still holds a negative view on the company on account of its possible restructuring.

Last Friday, June 26, both Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services had lowered their corporate ratings on the company following the debt exchange offer announced by McClatchy. Moody's lowered its corporate rating to "Caa2" from "Caa1", whereas Standard & Poor's lowered its credit rating to "SD" from "CC."
