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.

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.

Stick to the Smoothies, Not the Stock with Jamba
We don't find Jamba that compelling and encourage investors to steer clear of this penny stock. We think it is priced appropriately on the basis of option value, considering its debt-free balance sheet and still-improving same-store-sales trends.

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.

A Name for Your Radar: Collector's Universe (CLCT)
We dig into the investment case of Collector's Universe. Though its yield is attractive at almost 9%, we'd only grow constructive on the shares if they fell into the single digits.

Yahoo Mulls Asian Asset Swap; Risk Remains to the Downside
Yahoo reportedly has plans to engage in a tax-free asset swap with its Asian assets. We think the move, if completed, will shore up the firm's finances. However, long-term investors can find better firms in the Internet sector than the beleaguered search-engine company.

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.
