Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on Dell to 'BBB' from 'A-', and its commercial paper rating to 'A-2' from 'A-1'. All ratings remain on CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on Feb. 5. The initial CreditWatch listing reflected S&P's assessment that the $24.4B going private transaction, which includes a substantial portion of debt financing, will materially degrade Dell's financial risk profile, which S&P currently view as modest. Although Carl Icahn submitted a non-binding alternative acquisition proposal, the Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners LBO proposal remains the only transaction that has been approved by Dell's board of directors. S&P's review of the LBO transaction terms and the company's ownership, business and financial strategy may also result in a downward revision of its assessment of Dell's business risk profile. | | | 11:14 EDT | | DELL | Dell to deliver public cloud through partner ecosystem

The Energy Department announced on Friday that it has conditionally authorized Freeport LNG Expansion, and FLNG Liquefaction, Freeport, to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas, LNG, to countries that do not have a Free Trade Agreement, FTA, with the United States from the Freeport LNG Terminal on Quintana Island, Texas. Freeport previously received approval to export LNG from this facility to FTA countries on February 10, 2011. Subject to environmental review and final regulatory approval, the facility is conditionally authorized to export at a rate of up to 1.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day, Bcf/d, for a period of 20 years. The Department granted the first authorization to export LNG to non-FTA countries in May 2011 for the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana at a rate of up to 2.2 Bcf/d.

Dell (DELL) is set to report Q1 earnings after the market close on Thursday, May 16, with a conference call scheduled for 4:45 pm ET. Dell is a global IT company that operates enterprise, business, and consumer segments. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of 35c on revenue of $13.52B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 28c-42c on revenue of $12.6B-$14.22B. A report by Dow Jones earlier this week said Dell will report non-GAAP EPS of 20c on revenue of about $14B. LAST QUARTER: Dell reported Q4 adjusted EPS of 40c against consensus for 39c on revenue of $14.3B against estimates for $14.12B. On its Q4 earnings conference call, the company said it expects continued margin pressure and market competitiveness in 2013. GO-PRIVATE NEWS: On February 5, Dell officially announced that it had agreed to be taken private for $13.65 per share by a consortium lead by Silver Lake. On March 25, Dell announced it had received two alternative proposals during its go-shop process, which began following its February 5 announcement. These proposals included a $14.25 per share offer from Blackstone (BX), and a $15 per share offer from Carl Icahn and affiliated funds, including Icahn Enterprises (IEP). On April 19, Dell announced that Blackstone decided not to submit a bid for the company. Last Friday, Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management, which collectively hold about a 13% stake in Dell, submitted an alternative proposal to Dell's board. The Icahn and Southeastern proposal would allow Dell shareholders to receive a $12 per share cash distribution or $12 of additional shares valued at $1.65 per share. On Monday, the special committee of Dell's board asked Icahn and Southeastern for more information related to proposal, while Icahn and Southeastern proposed a slate of directors to the company's board that same day. COMPANY NEWS: In addition to news surrounding the company's go-private proposal, data regarding global PC demand has also weighed on Dell. On April 10, data from IDC said worldwide PC shipments totaled 76.3M in Q1, a 13.9% decline from the prior year period, which was worse than the expected decline of 7.7%. IDC also added that this year-over-year decline was the worst since the firm began its quarterly tracking of the PC market in 1994. On March 28, data released by Gartner said worldwide IT spending is projected to increase 4.1% in 2013 to $3.8T. PRICE ACTION: Shares of Dell have slid more than 2.5% since the first day of trading following its Q4 report. Following the March announcement that Dell received alternative proposals from Blackstone and Icahn, shares closed as high as $14.51 per share. Through April, however, shares of Dell slipped, including a sharp decline after disclosing Blackstone withdrew its offer, with shares closing as low as $13.09 per share. In afternoon trading ahead of its Q1 report, shares of Dell are down 0.2%, to about $13.42. | | | 13:57 EDT |  | DELL | Dell May 13 straddle priced for 1.7% move into Q1
