Mirant Corp (MIR)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company generates revenue primarily through the production of electricity in the United States, the Philippines and the Caribbean.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Company has been exploring a sale for some time. With power plants increasingly difficult to get approval for the assets of this company are likely significantly undervalued.

Energy is in play.... Just go to any gas station around the world. Despite progress made in alternative energy sources, humans are still extremely reliant on fossil fuel based transportation. I see this being the case for at least the next decade. Mirant stands to profit handsomely from this reality.

Currenty buying back 2-4B of stock, using 4.6B from sales of Phillipine and CAribean Assests. Very low Debt for large private utility. Mixed use of Natural Gas and Coal generation allows use of whichever has best economy. Lot of Coal generation means high Natural gas pricing is a benefit (expect Natural gas pricing to hold in 7$ or higher. Looking for gains after buybacks (they are currently buying back at low stock price $37-38. When outsatnding shares reduced to ~150M, 1B or Earnings will be $8 per share. At 15 PE that is $120/share. Price shoul settle somewere between 40 and that 80? in the next year. That is 100% gain.

11/9 - Returning half its Market Cap to shareholders vs. selling itself off. I like when companies do this - CSC made the same decision and also tumbled after the decision, but recovered nearly immediately.
