Sirius Misses View; Shares Down 18% – Zacks Tale of the Tape

Zacks Market Commentaries (May 7th, 2009) Writes:
Sirius XM Radio Inc. (SIRI) today announced a first-quarter loss of 7 cents per share, which was wider than the consensus estimate for a 3-cents loss.

Revenues for the provider of satellite radio service rose 5% to $605.5 million.

Meanwhile, the company boosted its full-year adjusted income guidance to more than $350 million, compared to earlier guidance of $300 million.

Analysts expect a loss of 12 cents per share for this year, but that has narrowed by 2 cents over the past 2 months.

Sirius XM, created by the merger of Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio, received a loan of $530 million earlier this year from Liberty Media Corp. to avoid a possible bankruptcy filing.

SIRI, a Zacks #3 Rank ("Hold") stock, has slipped more than 18% today on higher-than-usual volume of approximately 109 million, compared to average volume of about 64.7 million.

FCC Chairman Backs Sirius-XM Merger; Awaits Commissioner Approval

Money Morning (June 16th, 2008) Writes:
By Mike Caggeso Associate Editor The dormant, yet important, proposed $5 billion merger of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI) and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (XMSR) cleared a major hurdle, as Federal Communication Commission Chairman Kevin Martin backed the merger - with stipulations. Concessions Martin recommended include: the stations turn over 24 channels to noncommercial and minority programming as well as a three-year freeze on prices and packages. Both satellite stations have already accepted Martin’s conditions. “As I’ve indicated before, this is an unusual situation,” Martin said in a statement. “I am recommending that with the voluntary commitments they (the companies) have offered, on balance, this transaction would be in the public interest.” Martin said Monday that he would propose the FCC approve of the conditional merger. Reuters reported that the proposal could be as early as this week, ...
