DDR Corp. (DDR) announced an agreement to acquire a portfolio of prime power centers from its existing joint venture with Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII (BX). The acquisition, which is expected to close in Q4 subject to customary closing conditions, will significantly increase DDR's cash flow generated by very high quality, large format prime power centers located in top MSA's in the United States. The joint venture between Blackstone and DDR currently owns 44 shopping centers, and DDR has executed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire Blackstone's 95% common equity ownership interest in 30 of these shopping centers for $1.46B. DDR intends to fund this acquisition through a combination of the assumption of $398M in existing debt, nearly $150M from the repayment of preferred equity and mezzanine loans previously funded by DDR and proceeds from the issuance of common equity and unsecured debt. As part of the consideration, DDR has the right, subject to certain conditions, to issue common shares to Blackstone in an amount not to exceed $250M. | | | 16:09 EDT | | CSCO | Cisco Q3 cash flows from operations $3.1B vs. $3B a year ago

Cisco (CSCO) is set to report Q3 earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, May 15, with a conference call scheduled for 4:30 pm ET. Cisco manufactures and sells IP-based networking products and services. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of 49c on revenue of $12.18B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 47c-51c on revenue of $12.05B-$12.29B. On its Q2 earnings conference call, the company said it sees Q3 adjusted EPS 48c-50c on revenue growth of 4%-6% year-over-year. The company also said it sees Q3 adjusted gross margin approximately 61%-62%, and non-GAAP operating margin of 26.5%-27.5%. LAST QUARTER: Cisco reported Q2 EPS of 51c against estimates for 48c on revenue of $12.1B against estimates for $12.06B. In mid-March, Cisco was found not to have infringed patents held by VirnetX (VHC), and on March 22, Bloomberg reported that Cisco was ordered to pay $70M in fraud damages to XpertUniverse. On March 28, the company announced a 3c increase in its dividend to 17c per share. On April 3, Cisco announced its intent to acquire Ubiquisy, a provider of 3G and LTE small-cell technologies, for $310M, and the transaction is expected to close in Q4. STREET RESEARCH: Street research has been mixed on Cisco, with shares of the company losing more than 3% on March 21 following a downgrade to Underperform from Market Perform at FBR Capital. With its March 21 downgrade, FBR cut its price target on shares of Cisco to $17 from $22, saying the company would be challenged to offset declining routing and switching demand. Earlier this week, however, FBR reversed its March call, upgrading Cisco to Market Perform from Underperform and bumping its price target to $19. Earlier this week, Piper Jaffray said it expects Cisco to report Q3 EPS in-line with estimates, though the firm lowered its revenue estimates for the company. In its note, Piper said macro headwinds will offset favorable data center and switching demand, leaving Cisco with a mixed Q3 report, though the firm reiterated its Overweight rating and $25 price target on shares. Coverage on Cisco shares was also initiated by at least two firms during the quarter, with Cowen initiating coverage with an Outperform rating earlier this month and Northland Securities initiating coverage on Cisco with an Outperform rating and a $25.50 price target the day after Cisco's Q2 report. PRICE ACTION: Shares of Cisco have traded in a narrow range between $20-$22 per share since its Q2 report, gaining a scant 0.4%. Shares of Cisco, which are up about 8% year-to-date, are near flat in afternoon trading ahead of its Q3 report. | | | 11:48 EDT | | ORCL | Appaloosa reports new stakes in Comcast, Ashland, sells Oracle

Stocks on Wall Street were higher on a Tuesday again, keeping the strange "Tuesday in 2013" streak alive. Some positive domestic economic data and bullish commentary from Appaloosa Management's David Tepper set the tone early and the averages traded with an upward bias for almost the entire trading day. Today's advance means that every Tuesday this year has seen the market log gains, and investors will have to wait another week to see if the pattern continues. ECONOMIC EVENTS: The NFIB small business optimism index for April rose to 92.1, versus expectations for it to climb to 90.3 from its prior 89.5 reading. Import prices were reported to have declined 0.5% in April, which was in-line with expectations. Export prices declined 0.7%, versus a forecast for a 0.1% drop in the month. COMPANY NEWS: Dell (DELL) shares lost 6c, or 0.44%, to $13.46 after Dow Jones said the company will report first quarter non-GAAP earnings of 20c per share, 15c below current consensus estimates. That followed an earlier report from CNBC's David Faber, who also said the company will report earnings that miss expectations and accurately called that Dell has moved its report to Thursday, which is earlier than had been expected... Sony (SNE) shares added $1.87, or 9.9%, but closed off their best levels at $20.76 after the New York Times reported that Dan Loeb of Third Point has built a 6.5% stake and proposes that the company take its entertainment unit public. MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was InterOil (IOC), up $7.46, or 9.57%, to $85.39 after reporting its earnings and saying its talks with "major oil companies and a national oil company" about a potential LNG partnership are in the final stages. Also higher was SodaStream (SODA), up $6.79, or 11.85%, to $64.08 after at least two analyst firms raised their price target on shares following yesterday's analyst day presentations. Among noteworthy losers was Solar City (SCTY), down $4.44, or 12.37%, to $31.44 after the company's first quarter earnings missed expectations and the stock was downgraded by at least two firms. Also lower was Velti (VELT), down 29c, or 14.5%, to $1.71 after its revenue outlook fell below estimates. INDICES: The Dow was up 123.57, or 0.82%, to 15,215.25; the Nasdaq was up 23.82, or 0.69%, to 3,462.61; and the S&P 500 was up 16.57, or 1.01%, to 1,650.34. | | | 16:01 EDT | | ACAD | ACADIA files to sell common stock, no amount given
