Lockheed now has an ordsprog

Lockheed now has an additional $1.7 billion of cash to deploy, and its use of it should be a key to the performance of the stock. We view the repurchase of stock as the best use of cash given its low valuation.

Our ongoing stock repurchase program demonstrates the confidence we have in our company and shows our commitment to deliver long-term stockholder value. Our strong balance sheet and cash generation capability allow us to simultaneously invest in our current business and repurchase stock.

[Richard Williams, analyst with Summit Analytic Partners, said he wouldn't rule out yet another higher offer made up of both cash and Oracle stock.] If they were to throw stock in, they could go a lot higher, ...

If you look at the cash on hand and the market value of the stock, it means that investors' view of the company is that it has no value if you take out the cash.

Kmart is generating well over $500 million a year in cash flow. They have over $2 billion in cash. That, combined with their real estate value, should provide higher support for the stock.

The hotel business is on fire. I mean, you look at every major city, and the Four Seasons continues to widen its gap over Ritz-Carlton and other premium brands that are out there. But the reality is, you know, the stock is trading at a huge valuation multiple, over 20 times cash flow.
