| theflyonthewall.com: | VeriFone climbs after MasterCard introduces new card technology | | VeriFone (PAY), which provides retail electronic payment devices that process credit cards, is advancing after MasterCard (MA) indicated that it would seek to introduce in the U.S. a new credit card standard, known as EMV technology. EMV technology, which would replace magnetic stripes, is currently available on credit cards with chips, the company said. Furthermore, MasterCard said that it would incentivize merchants to implement new EMV-compatible payment terminals. "We're moving toward a world...where consumers will shop and pay in a way that best fits their needs and lifestyles with a simple tap, click or touch in-store, online or on a mobile device," said Chris McWilton, President, U.S. Markets, MasterCard. In a note to investors, JP Morgan said that MasterCard's announcement is positive for VeriFone because MasterCard, unlike Visa (V), is providing incentives for adopting "chip-and-PIN" technology. In mid-morning trading, VeriFone jumped $3.20, or 8.12%, to $42.61. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | On The Fly: Closing Wrap | | Stock futures were quiet during the pre-market trading session, but weakened just prior to the open after the euro hit its lowest level in the past 22 months. Stocks opened lower and drifted in a narrow range for most of the morning. Around 1pm, S&P downgraded ratings on five Spanish banks which only added to the uncertainty over Europe. The selling momentum increased, pushing the averages to session lows. As the news flow slowed to a trickle ahead of the holiday weekend, the averages struggled to keep from undergoing a major sell-off. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the University of Michigan consumer confidence reading for May was 79.3, versus consensus of 77.8...COMPANY NEWS: VeriFone (PAY) was among the day's biggest decliners after reporting stronger than expected Q2 results, but providing disappointing Q3 guidance. VeriFone's rationale that its results would be hurt by the projected strength of the dollar against the euro contributed to Deutsche Bank (DB) reiterating its Sell rating on the stock. The firm noted that the company had previously indicated that its results were not significantly affected by foreign exchange issues. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were Tempur-Pedic (TPX) which jumped 3.9% to $48.95 and Select Comfort (SCSS), which rallied 5.5% to $28.04, after a trade group reported that mattress industry sales grew by double digits in April. Noteworthy losers included Talbots (TLB), which tumbled about 41% to $1.51, after the company said it had ended exclusive acquisition talks with Sycamore Partners, and VimpelCom (VIP), which dropped 16.4% to $7.30, after the company reported a Russian court issued a new injunction against it and it may defer the payment of a previously declared dividend. INDICES: The Dow fell 74.92 to 12,454.83, the S&P lost 2.86 to 1,317.82, and the Nasdaq shed 1.85 to 2,837.53. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | VeriFone tumbles after blaming currency for guidance miss | | VeriFone (PAY) is slumping after the company last night reported stronger than expected Q2 results, but provided weaker than expected Q3 guidance and reiterated its outlook for FY12. VeriFone said that it expected strong demand for its products, but added that its results would be hurt by the projected strength of the dollar against the euro. Following VeriFone's results, Deutsche Bank reiterated its Sell rating on the stock, and seemed to question the reliability of the company's statements. Deutsche Bank said that the company identified foreign exchange fluctuations as the reason for the lackluster guidance, even though it had previously indicated that its results weren't significantly affected by foreign exchange issues. VeriFone showed "a lack of transparency," according to Deutsche Bank. The firm also noted that VeriFone's free cash flow sank to $13M in Q2 from $25M during the previous quarter. On the other hand, Barclays defended VeriFone, as that firm believes that the company's fundamentals are strong, and that foreign exchange fluctuations did prevent the company from raising its guidance. Without the impact of expected currency fluctuations, VeriFone would have increased its FY12 revenue guidance by $10M or more, asserts Barclays, which recommends buying the stock on weakness. In mid-morning trading, VeriFone sank $5.02, or 11.16%, to $39.98. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | The dip in MasterCard's shares provides a convenient entry point, Barron's says | | MasterCard''s (MA) shares trades more cheaply than Visa's (V) at 15.2x forward earnings, a discount to the company's almost 20% long-term earnings growth rate. MasterCard has a debt-free balance sheet, and sports a 35% return on equity -- more than double Visa's, Barron's reports. Unlike banks, MasterCard doesn't take on any credit risk, and even in a mature market like the U.S., just over half of all transactions are electronic, providing a long runway for growth.
