S&P Picks and Pans: Lehman, AT&T, Electronic Arts, CIT Group, Willis Group, Hologic

LEH reports preliminary May-quarter loss of $5.14, vs. EPS of $2.21, wider than our $0.53 loss estimate. Asset and hedge write-downs led to the outsized loss. LEH also announced it will raise $6 billion through sales of common and covertible preferred stock; pricing details are not available. We are encouraged by LEH's moves to shrink its balance sheet and bring leverage down, and we think this capital raise will further that cause. We are lowering our fiscal year 2008 [November] estimate to a loss of $2.60 from EPS of $2.61. We are also reducing our target price by $3 to $35, 1.0 times projected book value. -M. Albrecht

Desktop: Google grief counseling

You never know loss until you experience it. Data loss, that is. While certainly not as traumatic as other kinds of loss, you feel as if a part of you has disappeared when your hard disk or your computer gives up the ghost. It's about more than just having to make up work you lost, or pulling things back onto the disk from the backup (you did make one, didn't you?); it's like a piece of you - your personality, your very being - disappeared along with your desktop wallpaper.
