Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ:STLD)’s shares dropped -0.61% to $17.89.
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (STLD) declared that it purchased from Merged Systems, Inc., certain of its steel decking facilities (counting associated assets) and net working capital of about $30 million, for a purchase price of $45 million in cash. The transaction, which is valued below asset replacement cost, is predictable to be accretive to 2015 earnings and cash flow per share. These assets will become a part of Steel Dynamic’s fabrication operations through its wholly owned partner, New Millennium Building Systems, LLC.
The purchased assets comprise three decking facilities located in Memphis, Tennessee; Phoenix, Arizona; and Terrell, Texas. Producing both standard and premium specialty deck profiles, these assets represented over 8% of 2014 domestic steel decking market share. The new locations will allow for improved geographic reach into the southwestern and western markets, while the higher-margin specialty deck profiles will further diversify NMBS product offerings. The production of specialty deck is presently planned to be concentrated in Memphis, where a paint line is already in place. Business and commercial integration with NMBS will start right away.
Steel Dynamics, Inc., together with its auxiliaries, manufactures and sells steel products, processes and sells recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals, and fabricates and sells steel joist and decking products in the United States and internationally. The company operates in three segments: Steel Operations, Metals Recycling and Ferrous Resources Operations, and Steel Fabrication Operations.
At the end of Friday’s trade, FMC Corp (NYSE:FMC)‘s shares dipped -2.64% to $37.76.
FMC Corporation (FMC) declared that effective October 1, 2015, or as contracts permit, it will enhance prices for its lithium products in all global regions. All products counting lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, lithium hydroxide and all other products except Specialty Organics will enhance by 15 percent. Specialty Organics products, which comprise all grades of butyllithium, will enhance by $3.50 per kilogram on a contained basis. The enhances apply to all standard and non-standard pricing.
FMC Corporation, a diversified chemical company, provides solutions, applications, and products for the agricultural, consumer, and industrial markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Asia Pacific. The company operates through three segments: FMC Agricultural Solutions, FMC Health and Nutrition, and FMC Lithium.
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI), ended its Friday’s trading session with -2.18% loss, and closed at $56.67.
Analog Devices, Inc. introduced a high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs. The JESD204B interface was specifically developed to address high-data rate system design needs, and the 3.2-GHz HMC7044 clock jitter attenuator contains functions that support and enhance the unique capabilities of that interface standard. The HMC7044 delivers 50-fs jitter performance, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of high-speed data converters, and the device provides 14 low-noise and configurable outputs that provide flexibility in interfacing with many different components. The HMC7044 also offers a wide range of clock administration and distribution features that make it possible for designers of base stations to build an entire clock design with a single device.
In base stations applications there are many serial JESD204B data converter channels that require their data frames to be aligned with an FPGA. The HMC7044 clock jitter attenuator simplifies JESD204B system design by generating source-synchronous and adjustable sample and frame alignment (SYSREF) clocks in a data converter system. The device features two phase-locked loops (PLLs) and overlapping, on-chip, voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). The first PLL locks a low-noise, local voltage-controlled clock oscillator (VCXO) to a relative noisy reference, while the second PLL multiplies the VCXO signal up to the VCO frequency with exceptionally little added noise. For cellular infrastructure JESD204B clock generation, wireless infrastructure, data converter clocking, microwave baseband cards and other high-speed communications applications, the architecture of the HMC7044 offers excellent frequency generation performance with low phase noise and integrated jitter.
Analog Devices, Inc. engages in the design, manufacture, and marketing of analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits (ICs) for use in industrial, automotive, consumer, and communication markets worldwide. It offers signal processing products that convert, condition, and process real-world phenomena, such as temperature, pressure, sound, light, speed, and motion into electrical signals.
