CORPORATE FINANCING NEWS: MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

By Gordon Platt

The total value of US oil and gas deals in the quarter rose by 135% from the same period a year earlier, with 46 deals totaling $48.8 billion.

“Despite a number of headwinds in the third quarter, with volatile global equity markets and commodity prices, deals in the energy sector continued, as companies sought to take advantage of opportunities in shale to gain technology know-how and diversify service offerings,” says Rick Roberge, a principal in PwC’s energy M&A practice. “Large multinational corporations are able to withstand market volatility, and we’re continuing to see them push through and get deals done, with their focus primarily in the upstream sector and shale-related plays.”

The upstream sector includes exploration, development and production of oil and gas. Downstream involves transportation, refining, petrochemicals, distribution and retail.

With private equity deals on the rise and corporations focused on energy and maximizing the value of current assets, “we expect energy to remain one of the hottest sectors for deals,” Roberge says.

The energy and power sector was the most active worldwide in the first nine months of 2011, followed by financial companies, according to Thomson Reuters. Some 17.2% of all M&A

Yahoo lists the average credit scores by age as follows:

• 18-24 years old; Average credit score: 638
• 25-34 years old; Average credit score: 652
• 35-44 years old; Average credit score: 659
• 45-54 years old; Average credit score: 685
• 55+ years old; Average credit score: 724

Obviously credit scores get higher as people get older. They end the piece by offering these thoughts:

The study found that people in the 18-39 age group had the greatest number of late payments during the previous 12 months; that the 40-59 age group held the greatest amount of debt; and the 60+ age group had the lowest average credit utilization (used the least amount of credit that was available to them).

Though it is not unheard of for a young person to have a stellar credit score, more commonly these ratings rise as people acquire credit, make careful credit decisions, pay bills on time, and gain depth and length in their credit histories.

Last time I checked (which was a couple years ago) my credit score was just under 800. Not sure where its gone since but my guess would be that its been pretty consistent. I havent borrowed, missed any payments, etc.

W. Lafayette, IN – The pork industry is expected to have a profitable year in 2012! In fact, the level of profitability could be the most favorable during the high priced feed era. Profits in 2012 are currently forecast to be near $17 per head, which would be the highest since 2006.  That was the last year of the low feed price era when corn prices received by farmers averaged about $2.30 per bushel for the calendar year and estimated hog profits were $27 per head.

While a return to profitability is welcome news, there are deeper and more important implications. The first is that the pork industry, like most other animal industries, has made the adjustments necessary to live in a world of high priced feed. The second is that the pork industry probably has “turned the corner” on high feed prices as one looks to 2012 with abundant and cheap feed wheat, prospects for moderation in the rate of growth in corn use for ethanol, the potential for a larger South American soybean crop, and hope for a return to higher U.S. corn and soybean yields.

The pork industry had a difficult road making the transition to the high feed price era, as did all animal industries. High feed prices and recession in 2008 and 2009 and “H1N1″, unfortunately termed “swine flu”, led to large losses in 2008 and 2009, estimated at $17 and $24 per head, respectively. Thes
