General Electric (GE) is arranging to sell its security business, which makes alarms, surveillance systems and other safety products, and hopes to attract bids in the range of $2 billion for the unit. This move represents GE’s strategy of exiting from non-core businesses. GE has hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) to sell the portion of its business that makes security products. The business has drawn interest from GE’s rivals United Technologies Corp. (UTX) and Tyco International (TYC). Security assets have traditionally attracted private equity buyers, but due to the difficult economic environment and an expressed interest by GE in selling these assets to a strategic buyer, bid amounts could be depressed for such a product portfolio. It remains in question whether acquirers will be interested in GE Security’s full portfolio of products, or only bits and pieces of the business. General ...

Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB) announced plans to reduce its salaried workforce by approximately 1,600 positions (or 3%) by the end of 2009, which management believes will yield annualized savings of $150 million.

The organizational changes will require charges of $140 million to $150 million (or between $0.24 and $0.26 per share), mostly in the second quarter of 2009 (about $0.19 per share). Management expects to achieve $0.10 per share in savings during the second half of 2009.

The reduction of the workforce will not only further streamline the company, but also accelerate the implementation of the company's other cost reduction programs, namely the FORCE (Focused on Reducing Costs Everywhere) program and the Strategic Cost Reduction Plan, which target savings from sourcing and supply chain activities.

The workforce reductions will primarily affect salaried and non-production jobs. Management does not plan to close any manufacturing plants as part of the workforce

Equity income is a good choice for conservative investors who need to rely upon their portfolio to provide income to support their lifestyle.

Equity income investing tends to involve a trade-off between capital gains potential and current cash flow to the investor.  In a depressed market such as the one we are in now, equity income in “safe” companies offers more potential for capital gains than usual, making dividend investing all the more attractive to the conservative investor.

What About Bonds?

Bonds are good for income too, but the income does not increase (with the possible exception of inflation protected bonds and perhaps some variable rate bonds).  Bonds have a definite capital preservation and volatility reduction role in portfolios — and a tax reduction role in the case of municipal bonds.  Dividends from successful companies, however, tend to increase over time, helping the portfolio maintain the purchasing power of its cash income stream.

Here’s his review.

“DuPont offers the potential of significant gains once the major weak links in the U.S. economy — namely housing and the automotive sector — rebound from their funks and eventually begin to grow.

“DuPont turned in a solid performance in the second quarter, posting a profit of $1.08 billion, or $1.18 per share, up from $972 million, or $1.04 per share, a year ago.

“The bottom line was enhanced by 7 cents a share as the result of a lawsuit settlement and a lower tax rate that resulted from a one-time tax settlement. The company cited

The problems plaguing the Big Three American auto makers in 2008 have been well-documented.  The push for flashy SUVs that guzzle gas but impress at the suburban strip mall caused Ford, GM, and Daimler to shift production towards these bigger cars, but these divisions have become huge drains on profits in recent quarters.  Consumers have responded to the explosion of oil and gas prices and stopped buying trucks and sport utility vehicles, looking instead toward more fuel-efficient and hybrid vehicles.

Europe drank the renewable energy Kool-Aid long before it reached America, and the big car companies have already focused their European and international production on smaller cars that consume less gasoline.  As the global economy sags, these economical cars have continued to sell, and results abroad have been the lone bright spot for Ford, GM, and lower-profile players in the auto manufacturing industry.

Autoliv Inc. (ALV) is witnessing positive earnings growth by shifting production to low-cost regions and increased safety needs. Shares in global markets are increasing. However, difficult conditions in North American and West European automotive markets, as well as pricing pressure from original equipment manufacturers (OEM), are undermining Autoliv’s near-term prospects. Hence, we rate the stock a Hold with a target price of $34.50.

Autoliv is set to grow globally by entering into partnerships and making acquisitions while introducing new safety products and streamlining its operations to cut costs.
