good N8  

Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK) opened at $1.35. So far today, the stock has hit a low of $1.25 and a high of $1.35. EK is now trading at $1.26, down $.04 (-3.2%). Over the last 52 weeks the stock has ranged from a low of $.54 to a high of $5.95. Call players found something to like about the beleaguered imaging products company as the put-call volume ratio hit 0.24 with 2,656 put contracts and 11,022 call contracts changing hands. Technical indicators for the stock are neutral and S&P gives EK a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking. If you are looking for a hedged play on EK the stock seems like it could be a candidate for an April out-of-the-money bear-call credit spread above the 2.00 range.

Business Wire
Kodak Installs 15,000th Computer-To-Plate Device at Commercial Printer in China
Customer adds complete Kodak workflow, CTP, and digital print solution

Wuhan JinGang, the largest commercial printing company in Hubei Province, China, recently installed a KODAK TRENDSETTER 800 Platesetter, marking a significant milestone for Kodak as it is the company's 15,000th Thermal Computer-To-Plate (CTP) device installation to date.

Kodak was the first company to commercialize thermal CTP in 1995, and has since continued to develop new technologies that make these devices faster, more automated, and more sustainable. Thermal CTP devices enable printers to image press-ready thermal printing plates directly from computer files. Thermal imaging technology provides the stability printers need to produce high-quality printing. Wuhan JinGang installed the 34 plate-per-hour,V-speed KODAK TRENDSETTER 800 Platesetter with autoloader, which is a thermal 8-page CTP device offering outstanding image quality, stability, and maximum efficiency with advanced automation.

In addition, Wuhan JinGang is also contracted to purchase KODAK Thermal Plates, KODAK PRINERGY CONNECT Workflow, KODAK MATCHPRINT Inkjet Proofing System and Konica-Minolta's BizHub PRESS C6000, a mid-volume digital press sold by Kodak.

For the last five years, Wuhan JinGang has held the largest market share in Hubei and hopes to continue improving the image quality of its books, posters, and other printed materials by implementing KODAK Solutions. The company purchased its first Kodak CTP device, a V-speed KODAK TRENDSETTER 800 Platesetter with PRINERGY CONNECT Workflow, in 2009.

Wuhan JinGang recently elected to discontinue its use of competitive products in favor of using Kodak CTP products exclusively.

"Our company chose Kodak because of its ability to offer a total, integrated solution for CTP, color management, proofing, and digital print," said Wu Shaoguo, Chief Executive Officer of Wuhan JinGang. "We have improved our automation and efficiency, which means we can deliver jobs more quickly and with higher image quality. By installing these products, we have been able to keep up with the growing demands of the marketplace."

Many printers in emerging markets are just now converting over to CTP devices, while developed markets are replacing their aging equipment to become more competitive.

"The installation in Wuhan JinGang is a great achievement for Kodak and we are expecting to see an increase in both CTP and digital printing across China," notes Richard Chang, Sales Director of Prepress Solutions and Unified Workflow Solutions, Greater China Region, Kodak.  

haha, klagen sind populär in US. bald klagt jeder jeden!  

 

 Der schwer angeschlagene US-Fotokonzern Eastman Kodak hat einem Bericht zufolge in dieser Woche mit mehreren Hedgefonds über Notkredite verhandelt. Nach Agenturmeldungen soll es dabei um Beträge bis zu 900 Millionen Dollar gehen.

von einem US board entnommen (nicht iHub) bzgl. jüngster gerüchte!
==========================================

Some of the Bond holders who own secured bonds with a 2nd LIEN on EK's assets have been AGAIN spreading BS rumors.

In my opinion, LAZARD is very close to finishing the PROCESS of selling the EK digital patents.

I have MULTIPLE reasons for my conclusions:

1) At an EK Town Hall meeting on Wed. Sept 28th, EK said that the first round of bids were expected around the middle of Oct.


2)EK always issues 3rd quarter earnings the last week of Oct..... EXCEPT this year they moved that back 1 week to Nov. 3. This indicates that the timeline for the sale PROCESS is for a deal to be signed the last days of Oct., and EK wants to have their earnings call AFTER the patent sale has been announced.

3) The filing of the Law suit by Fujifilm indicates that they learned from Lazard, that their bid for the EK digital patents was greatly exceeded by others.

4) The sale PROCESS run by LAZARD is similar to that for an ART auction, except with more details and a longer amount of time. In an art auction, a date is announced which gives plenty of time for the buyers experts to fully examine the art.

Once the actual auction starts it moves relatively quickly, after the initial formalities.

In a LAZARD run PROCESS, the first round of bids essentially separates out the REAL serious bidders from all the rest.

Then the major bidders are given another week or so to submit their next round of bids. Then the rest of the rounds are usually concluded over the next few days.

Then the winning bidder or consortium of bidders, and the seller must draw up the final papers.

Then Boards of both companies must sign off on the deal.

I EXPECT:

1)The subsequent rounds of the EK digital image patents to be concluded by early next week.

2)The deal details to be completed by the legal teams by late next week.

3) The Boards of both companies to sign off on the deal by Oct. 31.

4) The announcement of the deal by Nov. 1st


I do NOT have any inside info, and I am ONLY relying on the public info that I disclosed above, and my general knowledge of how a corporate sale process is run by a top M & A firm such as LAZARD.

I believe the bidding for these patents will be FEROCIOUS between APPLE and the GOOGLE/Android consortium, which includes Samsung,LG,HTC, and Intel.

Microsoft is also a VERY serious bidder, but they may NOT be allowed to join with Apple as they did in the Nortel deal.

EACH of the 3 major bidders, has over $50 BILLION in cash.

NONE of the EK digital image patents are FRAND encumbered, unlike the Nortel patents.

For this reason, I believe that the EK digital image patents are worth MORE as strategic weapons than the Nortel patents.

THEREFORE, I expect the EK digital image patents will sell for more than $ 4.5 BILLION.

EACH of the 3 bidders can easily pay $5 BILLION for the EK digital patents, BECAUSE they are FOUNDATIONAL and can be used to stop a competitor from selling their product.

Steve Jobs vowed a couple years ago to use ALL the $40 Billion in cash to KILL ANDROID.

Now APPLE has over $81 BILLION in cash!!!!

The GOOGLE/ANDROID consortium will test Apple to see if they will still bid aggressively in a POST JOBS era.

MSFT will ALSO be bidding aggressively since Bill Gates has already shown his interest in controlling the EK digital image patents because of his purchase of 4.9% of EK at $6/share.

If I am correct, then EK stock will trade up to over $10/share within a few days of the patent sale announcement.

DO NOT let the MANIPULATIVE RUMOR mongers convince you to sell your shares before the patent sale announcement.  

 

Kodak and Canon Seek Alternative Revenue Drivers
Eastman Kodak (NYSE:EK)
Today : Saturday 22 October 2011

The rapidly growing presence of high quality digital cameras in mobile devices like smartphones and tablets continues to threaten revenues of camera makers. Several companies within the photographic equipment and supplies industry are seeking alternate revenue streams to compensate for the weakened market. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Photographic Equipment & Supplies Industry and provides equity research on Eastman Kodak Co. (NYSE: EK) and Canon, Inc. (NYSE: CAJ). Access to the full company reports can be found at:

Over the last few years, smartphones such as the BlackBerry and iPhone have slowed the purchase rate of "point and shoot" cameras significantly -- particularly entry level compact cameras which have relatively the same features as smartphones. According to the market research firm NPD Group, Point and shoot camera revenues have slipped 24 percent to $1.9 billion, from $2.4 billion since 2008. While easy to blame it on the recession, sales are still falling since the recession eased.

Kodak received a recent revenue boost from a licensing deal with IMAX though. Kodak agreed to provide laser projection technology to IMAX in a10-year deal. Kodak will also receive an upfront payment in excess of $10 million. The move is line with the company's aim of raising $250-$350 million this year by licensing intellectual property.
