theflyonthewall.com: Baxter’s low glucose PD solutions favorably impact metabolic measures in trials
Baxter International announced results from two large, international multicenter trials demonstrating that a low glucose peritoneal dialysis, or PD, regimen favorably impacted metabolic measures important for end-stage renal disease, or ESRD, patients with diabetes, including blood glucose control and selected lipids -- fats and cholesterol. The combined results were presented as a late-breaking presentation at the 49th Annual European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association, or ERA-EDTA, congress in Paris. Results from the combined IMPENDIA/EDEN trials showed that a low-glucose PD regimen led to clinically and statistically significant reductions in serum levels of HbA1c - the standard marker for assessing blood glucose control - in adult PD patients with diabetes. In the studies, significant reductions also were seen with certain lipid parameters including serum triglycerides - type of lipid or fat found in the blood, VLDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B, a protein that helps form LDL, or bad cholesterol, in blood, following a low-glucose PD regimen. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher in spite of Facebook (FB) breaking its IPO pricing. Stock futures were higher throughout the premarket trading session as the market got ready to bounce from its two week tailspin. There was little reaction to the better than expected Chicago Fed National Activity Index but the futures action led to a higher open for the broader market. The averages began the day slightly higher but moved firmly into the green shortly after midmorning. The market then moved in a narrow range for most of the session, but with an upward trend, as the market finally broke its losing streak... ECONOMIC EVENTS: Domestically, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index rose to +0.11 for the month of April from -0.29 in March... COMPANY NEWS: Facebook shares fell below their $38 issue price in premarket trading and continued to slide as much as 13.7% before finding a level near $33. In its second day of trading the stock closed down $4.20, or 10.99%, at $34.03... Yahoo! (YHOO) agreed to sell half of its 40% stake in Chinese e-commerce group Alibaba for about $7.1B and laid out a joint agreement for a plan to dispose of the remainder of its stake over time. Yahoo did not give exact plans for what it will do with the proceeds, expected to be about $4.2B after taxes, but did increase its share repurchase authorization by $5B concurrently with the transaction... JP Morgan (JPM) slid close to another 3% as the company's CEO Jamie Dimon announced at an investor conference that the bank is suspending its share repurchase program for the time being as it works to strengthen its capitalization ahead of new regulations... MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were Cooper Industries (CBE), up $14.04, or 25.14%, to $69.88, after agreeing to be acquired by Eaton Corporation (ETN) in a cash and stock deal valued at $72.00 per share, and Krispy Kreme (KKD), up 61c, or 10.15%, to $6.62, following its report of better than expected earnings. Also higher were shares of Westport Innovations (WPRT), up $2.83, or 11.93%, to $26.56, as Craig-Hallum said in a note to investors that the firm sees more catalysts heading into Westport's analyst day later this week and continues to recommend the stock as the shift towards natural gas in trucking is hitting a tipping point. Noteworthy losers included Lowe's (LOW), down $2.88, or 10.11%, to $25.60, after its sales and profits beat estimates but its yearly earnings guidance came in below consensus, and BlackRock (BLK), down $4.18, or 2.43%, to $167.73, as Barclays (BCS) announced plans to sell its entire 19.6% stake in the alternative investment manager... INDICES: The Dow gained 135.10, or 1.09%, to 12,504.48; the Nasdaq rose 68.42, or 2.46%, to 2,847.21; and the S&P 500 added 20.77, or 1.60%, to 1,315.99. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: Eaton sees Cooper acquisition accretive to EPS by 35c in 2014
The acquisition is expected to be accretive to operating earnings per share by 35c in 2014 and by 45c in 2015.

theflyonthewall.com: Eaton to buy Cooper Industries for cash and stock valued at $72
Eaton Corporation (ETN) and Cooper Industries plc (CBE) announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Eaton will acquire Cooper in a transaction that will significantly increase the capabilities and geographic breadth of the combined company’s power management portfolio and electrical business. At the close of the transaction, which is expected in the second half of 2012, Eaton and Cooper will be combined under a new company incorporated in Ireland, where Cooper is incorporated today. The newly created company, which is expected to be called Eaton Global Corporation Plc or a variant thereof, will be led by Alexander M. Cutler, Eaton’s current chairman and CEO. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Cooper Shareholders will receive $39.15 in cash and 0.77479 shares of New Eaton for each Cooper share. Based on the Closing Price for Eaton common stock on Friday May 18, Cooper Shareholders will receive cash and shares valued at $72.00 per share, representing a premium of 29% and a total transaction equity value of approximately $11.8B. Eaton Shareholders will receive one share of the new company for each share of Eaton that they own upon closing. The transaction will be taxable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to both the Eaton Shareholders and the Cooper Shareholders. Eaton Shareholders are expected to own approximately 73% of the combined company while legacy Cooper Shareholders are expected to own approximately 27%. Shares of New Eaton will be registered with the U.S. SEC and are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ETN. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: Amylin takeover could get done in mid-$30's per share, says Leerink
Leerink is not surprised by the number of potential bidders reportedly interested in Amylin (AMLN) and says a deal for the company could get done reasonably in the mid-$30 per share range for the right acquirer. The firm thinks a bidding war could push the takeover price even higher. Leerink views Amylin as being the most strategic for Sanofi (SNY), followed by Merck (MRK), and believes and Bristol-Myers' (BMY) purported $22 per share bid sets a floor for any acquisition offer. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: LTE could help Verizon and AT&T, hurt Sprint-Nextel, Barron's reports
Barron’s Technology Trader columnist Tiernan Ray went out on a limb and predicted that we'll see the end of the traditional phone company over the course of the next several years. His reasoning is that the fast pace at which data -- e-mails, text messages, Web pages, tweets -- happens with displace plain old phone calls. Over the next couple of years, 4G/ LTE, or long-term evolution, will move cellphone voice calls from traditional cellular networks to the Internet. The phone companies won't go away, but Ray contends that they'll be challenged to make the economics work without the assurance of a monthly tax on your phone calls. The dominant carriers, Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) in this country, would see their relative positions improve. While Ray believes the smaller ones, such as Sprint-Nextel (S) and Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGY) T-Mobile USA, could suffer. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com
