Why Reiterated?
MeadWestvaco�� first-quarter 2013 earnings plunged 52% y-o-y to 16 cents per share due to lower sales of beverage packaging, home and garden packaging, and asphalt paving chemicals. The lower sales were in turn a result of colder weather as well as lower consumer spending in Europe.
MeadWestvaco has stepped up its capital improvement plans and is updating its facilities more aggressively. Over the past two years, the company has been making significant investments in two of its core Packaging businesses - Food & Beverage (Covington boiler project) and Industrial (Rigesa containerboard expansion). Cost savings and volume expansion from these initiatives will significantly aid margin expansion in both the segments in the next two years. MeadWestvaco also continues to expand its presence in the emerging markets as these markets provide a larger platform for growth where the growing middle class is increasingly demanding higher-quality goods and packaging.

Good news for deep-sea sharks: Synthetic biology pioneer Amyris (NASDAQ: AMRS ) has engineered yeast to create the hydrocarbon farnesene, which can then be processed into large amounts of high-quality squalane. The emollient is naturally produced by your skin to prevent moisture loss; thus, it's an important ingredient for numerous global cosmetic brands offering skincare lotions, hair care creams, hand washes, lipsticks, and various other personal-care products. In fact, you may have used a product containing squalane today. Several�Avon (NYSE: AVP ) products, the St. Ives brand from Unilever (NYSE: UN ) , the Cover Girl and Olay brands from Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG ) , the Nivea brand from Beiersdorf, the Dial brand from Henkel, the Aveeno and Johnsons brands from Johnson & Johnson, and many others list squalane as an ingredient. �
