Earlier today, Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) -- the largest independent refiner in the U.S. -- reported a weaker-than-expected third-quarter 2009 loss, reflecting depressed refining margins and lower throughput on the back of weak fuel demand and high inventories. This was partially offset by lower operating costs. The loss per share, excluding one-time items, came in at 39 cents, well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 26 cents. In the year-ago period, the Texas-based marketer of petroleum products earned $1.91 per share. Revenue was down 45.8% year-over-year to $19.5 billion. Operating loss for the quarter was $579 million ($162 million excluding one-time items), compared to operating income of $1.8 billion ($1.6 billion excluding one-time items) in the year-earlier quarter. The main factors causing the operating loss were lower diesel and jet fuel margins, coupled with smaller discounts on sour crude oil and other feedstocks. Throughput Volume...

Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) reported its third quarter results of 40 cents per limited partner unit versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents and year-earlier earnings of 54 cents. All the business segments experienced year over year growth except for the CO2 business, which was negatively impacted by significantly lower crude oil prices. Importantly, the partnership increased its quarterly distribution by 3% to $1.05 per unit ($4.20 annualized) from $1.02 per unit ($4.08 annualized) in the year-ago quarter. The new distribution is payable on Nov 13 to unitholders of record on Oct 30, 2009. Kinder Morgan’s distributable cash flow for the quarter before one-time items was $320 million, up 14% year over year. Distributable cash flow per unit was $1.12, up nearly 3% year over year. The Product Pipeline segment registered earnings before depreciation, ...

Marshall & Ilsley Corp. (MI) said on Tuesday that it anticipates a third-quarter loss due primarily to a higher loan loss provision for bank holding company loans.   The company expects to report a loss of 68 cents to 70 cents per share for the quarter as its allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases is expected to rise slightly over 3%.   The firm said that it will make a loan loss provision of $390 million to $400 million for the quarter and would make a special provision of about $185 million for certain bank holding company loans.   As a result of delays in raising capital, deterioration in loan portfolios and regulatory actions against some bank holding companies, total amount of loan and lease losses for the quarter are expected to range between $575 million and $585 million.   The ...

Yesterday, after the market close, Chevron Corp. (CVX) released its third-quarter interim update, covering the first two months of the quarter. On the whole, the update is positive, with earnings expected to be higher than in the previous quarter. The company expects the upstream segment to benefit from an increase in crude oil prices as well as from gains of about $400 million associated with asset sales and tax items. Downstream results are likely to be relatively flat, as it continues to be hurt by weak refining margins. Chevron further said that unfavorable foreign currency movements will affect the segment profitability. Upstream The best part of the update pertained to upstream volumes, highlighting Chevron’s attractive growth profile among the super-majors. The company reported that oil and natural gas production average 2.687 million oil-equivalent barrels per day – better than estimates and nearly 10% above ...

The St. Joe Company (JOE), a publicly held operationally diverse real estate company, has recently sold its property in Perico Island, Florida for about $8 million to Minto Communities LLC, the U.S. subsidiary of the Canadian real estate company Minto Group Inc.   St. Joe had earlier halted work on the 684-unit residential condo project on the island as substantial units were not sold to warrant construction. Furthermore, St. Joe had also completed a corporate reorganization and exited the home building business during the third quarter of 2006. Consequently, the company decided to get rid of its Perico Island property.  Initial infrastructure of the project has already been put in place, including a 32-acre man-made lake. The Minto Group plans to continue the development work on the island in 2010. Minto Communities had built approximately 19,000 homes across Southeast Florida and the recent acquisition is the largest ...

The inflation/deflation debate is hot… It crackles and pops like a pine fire. But it gives off little helpful light. Abe Lincoln may have read by the light of an open fire. But when we tried it, we singed our eyebrows. It made us suspicious of Old Abe; maybe he wasn’t quite as truthful as he pretended to be. Later, we realized he was a mountebank. But that’s another story…

Today, we light a candle and try to interpret the shadows on the wall…

Yesterday, the Dow fell 81 points. Gold dropped $5 to $1009.

Will the feds succeed in causing inflation? Or will they fail? Will the dollar continue to go down? Or will it prove to be a safe haven currency in a time of deflationary trouble?

According to the papers, the feds have already done it. “Fed says recovery underway,” says a headline from yesterday’s press.

Another headline tells us that
