Analyst Update: Quarterly Results, New Orders, Operational Updates and Recognitions
Reviewed  by:  Rohit  Tuli,  CFA®

The U.S. stock market on Thursday rebounded and ended the day on positive note as a solid report on US retail sales lifted the investor sentiment.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.36%, the S&P 500 was up 0.45%, and the NASDAQ Composite edged 0.52% higher. The retail sales in the U.S. for the month of November 2014 increased 0.7% MoM and 5.1% over the year; further, jobless claims fell by 3,000 to 294,000 in the week that ended December 6, 2014 indicating the U.S. economy is on road to recovery. The European markets ended the day on a mixed note after lending data from the European Central Bank (ECB) buoyed sentiments as the uptake of the low-rate loan program by the ECB  met market expectations. The Asian stock markets ended the day in red as investors raised concerns over the political situation in Greece, while declining oil prices also dented investor's confidence.

AK Steel Holding Corporation (AK Steel Holding) successfully completed the relining of the blast furnace hearth at its Ashland, Kentucky Works. The blast furnace has resumed full production following an approximate four week, planned outage for maintenance work.

Alamos Gold Inc. (Alamos Gold) reported weak third quarter 2014 financial results, as the Company incurred losses compared to profits reported previous year quarter. Gold production for the quarter declined 34.9% YoY dragged by less high grade mill production and higher than normal rainfall, which resulted in leach pad dilution and lower crusher throughput.

Albany International Corp.'s (Albany International) President and CEO, Joseph G. Morone, along with French President François Hollande, and Jean-Paul Herteman, Chairman and CEO of Safran inaugurated a new production plant in Commercy, eastern France. The new production plant, which was opened in May 2014, is within the scope of the industrial partnership between Safran and the Company.

Albemarle Corporation (Albemarle) won the Diamond Award for Excellence in Environmental Leadership by the Arkansas Environmental Federation for the second time. The Company's' shareholders and shareholders of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. have approved the proposed Albemarle's acquisition of Rockwood at their respective special meetings held on November 14, 2014.

Allegheny Technologies Incorporated's (Allegheny Technologies) Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on December 24, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2014.
