12:32 EDTUBSEU bank stress test delayed until 2014 by regulator
The EBA agreed on recommendations to supervisors to conduct asset quality reviews on major EU banks. While banks’ capital positions were significantly strengthened under the EBA’s recapitalisation exercise, the objective of the asset quality exercises will be to review banks’ classifications and valuations of their assets so to help dispel concerns over the deterioration of asset quality due to macroeconomic conditions in Europe. Since appropriately reviewed balance sheets are a key input to an effective stress test, the EBA has also adjusted the timeline of the next EU-wide stress test so to conduct the exercise in 2014 once the asset quality reviews are completed. However, to ensure transparency and comparability over the years, the EBA will provide, in 2H, appropriate disclosure on the actual exposures of the EU banking sector. Reference Link
09:56 EDTFLOFlowers Foods sees regulatory process for Hostess purchase complete in 2H
Flowers Foods said its proposed acquisition of Hostess assets is currently undergoing regulatory review and the company expects that process will be completed in the second half of the year. Flowers sees completing its roll-out of new Sara Lee business in California in early June and notes, when done, more than 77% of the U.S. population will have access to Flowers fresh baked products. Repeats unable to give full year guidance as of now due to Hostess transaction still being under regulatory review, but CEO George Deese said, "I can tell you that I believe it will be a record year and that it will meet or exceed our long-term objectives." Says forecast for FY13 input costs is still to be up approximately 3%-5% on a volume neutral basis year-over-year. Comments from Q1 earnings conference call.

R. Steve Kinsey, executive vice president and CFO, said, "We continue to be very optimistic about the outlook for FY13 and, in Q2, we are continuing to see very good sales growth. Q2 operating earnings also are expected to be strong, although we are experiencing start-up costs related to the integration of the Sara Lee business in California. Given that the Hostess transaction is currently under regulatory review, we are delaying FY13 guidance until the review is completed."

16:25 EDTGSKOn The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were little changed from their opening levels as investors weighed the potential end of the Fed's quantitative easing program against a better than expected report on retail sales. The Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath suggested in a report over the weekend that the Federal Reserve has mapped a QE exit strategy. The report paired with the retail sales data left the market lacking conviction in either direction today, as the averages spent the majority of the session range-bound near the flatline. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., retail sales rose 0.1% in April, which beat expectations for a 0.3% decline. Retail sales excluding autos, gas, and building materials rose 0.6%, which was also better than expected. Business inventories were flat in March, versus expectations for a 0.3% gain. In Asia, Chinese factory output grew 9.3% annually in April, which was up from 8.9% in March but still missed expectations for a 9.5% growth rate. COMPANY NEWS: The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Monsanto's (MON) patented genetically altered soybeans are protected and that farmers cannot use them to create new seeds without paying the company... Dell's (DELL) special committee publicly asked for more information from Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management about their proposed leveraged recapitalization. This request follows television interviews by Icahn last Friday in which he discussed his Dell proposal, as well as a weekend report in Barron's saying the Icahn and Southeastern plan could be a better deal for shareholders. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Theravance (THRX), up $6.26, or 17.92%, to $41.20 after Elan Corporation (ELN) bought a stake in the potential future royalty payments from four respiratory programs partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in exchange for $1B in cash. Also higher was Tesla (TSLA), which rose $11.04, or 14.38%, to $87.80 in its third straight double-digit percentage gain following a better-than-expected earnings report last week. Among the noteworthy losers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), down $2.21, or 9.48%, to $21.10 after the blog InsiderMonkey disputed a previous report about Microsoft's (MSFT) interest in the bookseller's NOOK assets. Also lower was JoS. A. Bank (JOSB), down $3.31, or 7.16%, to $42.90 after the company's first quarter earnings view came in below expectations. INDICES: The Dow was down 26.81, or 0.18%, to 15,091.68; the Nasdaq was up 2.21, or 0.06%, to 3,438.79; and the S&P 500 was nearly unchanged at 1,633.77.
13:51 EDTNOKNokia advances ahead of Lumia event
Nokia shares are higher after it published a YouTube clip to promote its new Lumia device a day before the hand set maker is scheduled to host a product launch event in London. WHAT'S NOTABLE: The YouTube clip is accompanied by text that reads "more than your eyes can see," as it spotlights the camera features of the next addition to the Lumia line-up. PRICE ACTION. Shares of Nokia trading in New York rose 23c, or 6.5%, to $3.90 in early afternoon trading.
