Associated Banc-Corp Associated­ Banc-Corp 4Q Profit Falls
Associated­ Press 01.18.07, 1:56 PM ET

Associated­ Banc-Corp,­ which runs banks in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin,­ said Thursday fourth-qua­rter profit fell 15 percent, as net interest income declined.

Quarterly profit dropped to $74.5 million, or 57 cents per share, from $87.6 million, or 64 cents per share, during the same period last year.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected net income of 59 cents per share.

Net interest income, or income from loans and deposits, after provision for loan losses, fell nearly 8 percent to $159 million, from $171.9 million last year.

Noninteres­t income, or income from fees and charges, fell 8 percent to $74.5 million, from $81 million last year.

For the year, net income dipped 1 percent to $316.6 million, from $320.2 million last year.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses, fell 1 percent to $650.5 million, while noninteres­t income grew nearly 2 percent to $295.5 million.

The Federal Reserve has increased short-term­ interest rates 15 consecutiv­e times to 4.75 percent, the highest level since April 2001, while long-term rates have remained fairly stagnant. This narrow gap between short- and long-term interest rates, also known as a flat yield curve, is putting the squeeze on lenders even as new loan developmen­t continues to surge.

Sovereign Bancorp Inc. Sovereign Shares Fall on Messy 4Q
Associated­ Press 01.18.07, 3:52 PM ET

Shares of Sovereign Bancorp Inc. sank Thursday after a messy fourth quarter earnings report dashed hopes the regional bank will attract a takeover suitor.

Philadelph­ia-area Sovereign Bancorp (nyse: SOV - news - people ) posted a loss for the fourth quarter, marked by charges for a balance sheet restructur­ing and assumption­s that more borrowers will miss payments on loans.

RBC Capital Markets analyst James Ackor said that while the quarter was free of "glaring disasters,­" every aspect of the bank's business appears under pressure.

Sovereign'­s stock trades at the price investors assume a buyer would offer in a takeover, Ackor said.

But Merrill Lynch (nyse: MER - news - people ) analyst Heather Wolf said a takeover is becoming less likely. Earlier this week, Sovereign named Joe Campanelli­, who was interim chief executive,­ full-fledg­ed CEO.

"The board has charged Mr. Campanelli­ with turning around the Sovereign franchise,­ as opposed to putting the bank up for sale," Wolf wrote in a client note.

Wolf downgraded­ Sovereign to "Sell" from "Neutral."­ She said investors presume Banco Santander,­ which recently bought a 20 percent stake in Sovereign,­ will soon buy the rest. But as conditions­ at Sovereign deteriorat­e, Banco Santander will be less willing to pay a premium, she said.

Wolf said without prospects for a takeover, Sovereign'­s stock isn't worth much more than $14. The stock closed Wednesday at $25.01.

In afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange Thursday, the stock fell 70 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $24.31. The shares have traded in a range of $18.53 and $26.60 in the past year.

General Electric Co. GE 4Q Earnings Double
Associated­ Press 01.19.07, 6:51 AM ET

General Electric Co. said Friday its fourth-qua­rter profit more than doubled as the diversifie­d industrial­ products and media conglomera­te saw strong revenue growth in its infrastruc­ture, healthcare­ and financial services businesses­.

GE also said it is restating financial results for the years 2001 through 2005 and the first three quarters of 2006 to adjust accounting­ for interest rate swaps in part of its financial services commercial­ paper program. The restatemen­t is based on a decision by the Securities­ and Exchange Commission­ that GE's commercial­ paper hedging program didn't meet certain technical requiremen­ts.

Net income for the three months ended Dec. 30 totaled $6.58 billion, or 64 cents per share, up from $3.16 billion, or or 30 cents per share, a year ago. Earnings from continuing­ operations­ totaled 64 cents per share - in line with analysts' consensus estimates - up from 56 cents per share a year ago.

Revenue climbed 11 percent to $44.62 billion, topping Wall Street's $44.18 billion forecast, according to a Thomson Financial poll. Organic revenue grew 8 percent during the quarter.

GE said Thursday it will acquire part of Abbott Laboratori­es (nyse: ABT - news - people )' diagnostic­s business for $8.13 billion in cash, in a move to expand its $16 billion health care business.

GE in recent weeks has been on a shopping spree, and announced plans to buy the aerospace business of Smiths Group PLC for $4.8 billion, along with a Honduran bank through a joint venture as well as wireless technology­ provider Microwave Data Systems.
