John Sinkins, CFA Calpine Corp CPN-N BUY Dec 29, 2003

Has restructured its balance sheets significantly. As deregulated power in the US begins to recover, there should be some upside in the next 2/3 years. Risky.

BUY

Refinancing of debt has benefited them. Some risks.

DON'T BUY

Very speculative investment. Could have a little bit of upside, but expect liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of 2004 when they have a $2 1/2-billion convertible bond due.

SELL

Doesn't see it rebounding anytime soon. It’s a merchant power plant constructor and operator. There is now too much supply in the US coming on stream all at the wrong time. Spreads have been collapsing. Large debt.

SHORT

Just announced a $.17 loss for the quarter and gave guidance to break even for the year. Doesn't have a lot of optimism with this company.

TOP PICK

DON'T BUY

Not a fan. Have done a lot of things right over the last year giving them about $2.5 billion of liquidity at year's end. Concerned with how they will finance their gas plants they are building. Margins will come under pressure.

TRADE

Pretty rocky road over the last year or so. Paying down their debt and sold off a buch of assets. Might be a survivor.

TRADE

Model price is $1.75.

DON'T BUY

Chart looks like it's starting to improve, but it still has a ways to go technically before it gets exciting.
