Lennar's Order and Backlog Growth Impressive; Housing Market on the Mend
Homebuilder Lennar reported fourth-quarter results that showed solid increases in new home orders and backlog. Though its financial services and distressed asset management arms hurt earnings, we think the firm's results reveal a unique and long-awaited firming in housing demand.

Life Technologies Unveils One-Day Genome Sequencer Product; Shares Jump 8% to Our $47 Fair Value Estimate
Life Technologies announced that it has begun accepting orders for a product named the Ion Proton Sequencer that could sequence a person's entire genome in just one day (more expensive, competing machines can take weeks or longer to do the same procedure). We had been expecting valuation upside from the firm, and its shares have now converged to our $47 fair value estimate.

WebMD Cuts Through Our Fair Value Estimate; Falls Almost 30% Today
WebMD surprised investors this morning. The company said it is no longer 'for sale', disclosed that its CEO had resigned, and warned that 2012 profits would disappoint. Our discounted cash-flow process had identified a buy-out premium in the shares, and we had been expecting a significant move lower into the high $20s based on our fair value estimate. We think WebMD's shares are fairly valued after the move.

Alcoa Posts Weak Fourth-Quarter Results, Will Focus on Preserving Cash Balance in 2012
Alcoa posted weak fourth-quarter results, though its outlook for the aerospace and automotive end markets remain strong. The aluminum giant will manage operations to maximize cash flow during 2012 amid ongoing weakness in aluminum pricing.

Macy's Hits Multi-Year High; Continues to Converge to Our $42 Fair Value Estimate
We initiated coverage of Macy's in early October with a fair value estimate of $42 per share and a VBI rating of 9. The stock has since rallied nearly 30% to the mid-$30s to hit a multi-year high, and we think further valuation upside remains in the name.

Alcoa Cuts Smelter Capacity on Reduced Aluminum Prices
Alcoa plans to scale back smelter capacity by 12% in the wake of weak aluminum prices, which have fallen by almost 30% since the peak last year. We remain on the sidelines with respect to Alcoa's shares and point to Precision Castparts as a better metals play.

Sears Converges to Our $36 Fair Value Estimate; Shares Off Nearly 25% Today
Sears announced today that it would close between 100 and 200 stores (both of the Sears and Kmart variety) in an effort to shore up its finances as it struggles to compete with big-box retailers like Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Target. The troubled retailer also said that comparable same-store-sales continue to fall and that its earnings for the fourth-quarter would come in at less than half of last-year's levels. Valuentum subscribers were well aware of Sears' overvaluation as the firm now trades in-line with our $36 fair value estimate, after falling by roughly half since we initiated coverage of the retailer in early October.

Oracle Issues Poor Fiscal Second-Quarter Results; Customers Delay Purchases
Oracle posted disappointing fiscal second-quarter results that sent the shares tumbling by almost 15% today. The firm noted that weakness in software license sales was caused by customers putting off purchases. However, we think there may be more to the poor results than a timing issue and remain on the sidelines with respect to the shares.
