Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog:

UBS Slogs Through Credit Market

We are maintaining our Hold on UBS AG (NYSE: UBS). The company
posted a first quarter net loss of CHF11.6 billion, due to CHF19.5
billion in writedowns in its US real estate and related structured
credit positions. To counter the effects of these writedowns on its
capital base, UBS completed a CHF15.97 billion rights offering in
June, significantly diluting existing shareholder interests.

Positively, UBS continues to reduce its credit market risk
positions, including the recent $15 billion sale of mortgage
securities to a newly created distressed asset fund that will be
managed by BlackRock (NYSE: BLK). Further writedowns and losses are
likely given turmoil in the credit markets. UBS replaced its cash
dividend with a 5% stock dividend.

Full Value for Electroglas Semi

Electroglas Inc. (Nasdaq: EGLS) is an original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) of wafer prober and wafer test handling systems.
February top and bottom-line results were in-line with consensus
estimates. While the long-term outlook in probers for EGLS is
positive, the short-term cash burn is concerning.

The firm recently signed new volume purchase agreements with Amkor
Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) and Broadcom Corp. (Nasdaq: BRCM). The
management has embarked on a new aggressive plan to lower breakeven to
$14-$15 million (from $18-$19 million). We continue to rate shares of
EGLS a Hold.

Electroglas has launched several prober products, including a more
competitive 300mm wafer prober system and a newly revised 200mm wafer
prober with an upgrade option. The Sidewinder product has been halted
and the management changed accounting auditors in an effort to lower
expenses.
