Morning Meeting Agenda CB&I Rating: Buy Target: US$41.00 Price: US$34.03 RIC: CBI.N Prior: Not Rated Prior: Not Rated Mkt Cap: US$3.36bn BBG: CBI US

Heavy Construction Analyst: Steven Fisher, CFA Tel: +1-212-713 8634

In the thick of energy markets; Initiate Buy Energy-driven E&C is in the thick of many aspects of LNG and oil & gas We initiate coverage of Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I or “CBI”) with a Buy

rating. CBI is well positioned for growth in LNG, chemicals, refining, oil sands and upstream markets. UBS forecasts a normalized oil price of $95 Brent and $92 WTI, which we think is supportive of projects.

Big backlog provides some visibility to earnings outlook Backlog is up roughly 140% since mid-2009, which gives some confidence in the earnings growth outlook. Backlog could fluctuate in the near term, however, major projects in LNG, oil sands, chemicals and refining could support further growth over the next 12-18 months.

Execution has been a challenge but fixed price mix has changed CBI has had execution challenges in the past, most recently during the 2005-2008 period. However, fixed price mix has declined from 90% lump sum in 2006, to 40% fixed price today, with that 40% a mix of lump sum and hybrid. Additionally, other than parts of Kearl, we do not believe CBI currently has large lump sum process contracts in its CBI Lummus segment. The fixed price risk is mostly in the Steel Plate Structures segment, which should carry lower execution risk.

Valuation: Price target is $41 per share We have used a P/E multiple as our primary valuation, supported by EV/EBITDA and DCF. Our $41 target reflects a 13-14x P/E on our 2012E EPS of $3.05/sh. The hist range is 5-25x with a 14x avg. The stock is currently in line with the E&C group, but has better visibility to earnings growth, given the strong backlog.

MACRO AND STRATEGY RESEARCH US Daily Economic Comment

Economist: Maury N. Harris Tel: +1-212-713 2472

Conference Board confidence likely to drop Preview: Plunge in confidence in Aug, rising home prices through June likely (1) The Conference Board consumer confidence index, although

weak, has not shown nearly the deterioration of the University of Michigan or Rasmussen consumer measures. We expect a decline in August (UBSe 51.0, cons 52.0, after 59.5). (2) Housing demand, supported at the beginning of the year by a pickup in distressed sales, has slackened in Q2. However, prices remain supported, with low rates and less of a drag from distressed sales. We forecast a 0.5%m/m increase in the S&P/Case Shiller home price index (cons 0.0%) in June, following no change in May. (3) Weekly store sales figures will also be released for the week of Aug 27. They softened a bit in the prior week after implying, earlier in August, about the same pace of spending growth as in July. The upcoming data could be boosted by storm preparations. (4) Chicago Fed President Evans, typically dovish, will speak with CNBC at 8:00am. Minneapolis Fed President Kocherlakota, one of the last FOMC meeting’s dissenters, will speak about “Economic outlook and a reconsideration of Leverage Incentives” at 12:15pm. The Aug 9 FOMC meeting minutes will be released at 2pm and will provide a bit more insight into the FOMC decision and dissents.

Review: Texas mfg “largely unchanged”, PHSI -1.3%, strong spending (1) The general business activity index in the Dallas Fed manufacturing survey fell to -11.4 in August from -2.0 in July, but that headline exaggerated deterioration as “activity was largely unchanged” according to the Dallas Fed. (2) The pending home sales index fell 1.3%m/m in July (cons -1.0%, UBSe -0.5%). The decline only partly reversed the prior month's 2.4% rise. (3) Consumer spending rose 0.8% in Jul (cons 0.5%, UBSe 0.7%), and income rose 0.3% (cons & UBSe 0.3%). PCE prices increased 0.4%, and core PCE prices increased 0.2%—in line with expectations

Soft PHSI & Texas manufacturing Pending home sales index, -1.3% in Jul, partly reversing +2.4% in Jun Pending home sales index fell 1.3%m/m in July (cons -1.0%, UBSe -0.5%).

The decline only partly reverses the prior month's 2.4% rise, and the index still gives the impression of a choppy, sideways trend. That said, realtors have been reporting an increase in cancellations—which if sustained mean that existing home sales will be weaker than suggested

by the pending home sales index. (The pending home sales index, based on initially signed contracts, tends to lead existing home sales, based on contract closings, by a month or two.) Furthermore, the mortgage applications purchase index has fallen off in August. We suspect that drop is a temporary effect of market volatility in August, but it also suggests an effect on home sales.

European Equity Strategy

Strategist: Karen Olney, CFA Tel: +44-20-7568 8944

Dividends for all risk appetites How do European equity yields compare to other asset classes? European equities offer a 12m forward yield of c.5%. This is more yield than US

equities, AA corporate bonds, most government bonds and money markets by quite a wide margin on an absolute basis and versus history (see page 2).

Are dividends a safer way to play value? We think so The chart below shows the performance of the key components of a value style from mid February (when value sold off) and shows that high dividend yields outperformed the market. Even in a black-sky world dividends look supported. If we go back to the 1970s they have fallen by less than 10% peak to trough in every recession except 2009. If we exclude the financials from the dividend cuts in 2009, the fall was only 12% - a quarter of the fall in earnings. See page 3.

But avoid the highest yields which often flag distress The highest dividend yields look tempting (page 8). But our quant team show that the highest yields, the 10th decile of dividend yields, actually underperform the slightly lower 9th decile in periods of rising volatility (see chart 8).

Dividends to order: relatively safer ones and those big on cash ‘Safer’ Basket: high yields, durable pay-out ratios and no dividend cuts in the past 10 years: Astra Zeneca, Lagardere, Sanofi, Roche, Wolters Kluwer, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Reed Elsevier, ABB, Reckitt Benckiser, Pearson, WPP and Diageo. Cash rich basket: companies with cash on the books including: Electrolux, DSM, CapGemini, Akzo Nobel, Pearson and MAN (see page 7).

Risk appetite rises; remains low Risk Appetite Indicator recovers from YTD low levels The UBS Equity Risk Appetite Indicator increased last week last week to -2.17 as of Friday’s

close versus -2.48 the week prior, as the MSCI AC World Index increased by 2.5%. Credit & FX component falls The credit & FX component decreased as interest rate swap spreads widened considerably in the US and Euro zone.

Corporate credit spreads also widened in the US. This was offset to some extent by lower FX volatility. Equity option volatility component increases The VIX Index decreased to 35.6 from 43.1 the week prior, which contributed to the rise in risk

appetite. For reference, the high on the VIX for 2011 was 48, reached on August 8th. Equities positioning component also increases The equities positioning component increased marginally as cyclicals, especially the technology

sector, outperformed defensives. On regional performance, US outperformed significantly while the UK was the worst performer. Notes:

BASIC MATERIALS North American Metals Update

Industrial Services Analyst: Shneur Z. Gershuni, CFA Tel: +1-212-713 3974

NLMK Announces $40/ton Hike Second Price Hike led by NLMK NLMK Indiana, NLMK Pennsylvania and Sharon Coatings group announced late last week a price increase of $40

per ton, effective immediately; following a $60/t hike announced three weeks ago. To support the hike, NLMK noted high raw material costs, tight margins, and lead times into October.

Channel Checks- Most Buyers Doubt New Hike Sticks Our calls with steel buyers were mixed- most skeptical of the new hike but a couple expecting prices to head up from here (“the mills don’t have a choice”). All feel the hikes have arrested the most recent decline, most think about half of the original hike has stuck. Sentiment remains that the most recent hike is more about cementing the original $60/ton increase than further increasing prices.

Despite Skepticism, Initial Hike Gained Some Traction Buyers were equally skeptical of the recent $60/ton hike. We continue to hear support, more broad as of late, that this first hike has partially stuck. Buyers are hearing spot HRC between $650-700 (depending on buyer and tonnage); higher than the $640 offers earlier this month. Steel Market Update, our official HRC source, has increased its index to $675 from a recent low of $650.

Cost Pressure Adds Support Current pricing for HRC ($675 per SMU) is still below the UBS Generic Integrated Mill cost curve (Chart 1) at $740, or $710 cash costs; not unprecedented but rarely sustainable. The “Generic Margin” (HRC less Generic Cost Curve) appears low considering increasing industry utilization, seen in Chart 2.

ENERGY PG&E Corp. Rating: Neutral Target: US$42.00 Price: US$42.15 RIC: PCG.N Prior: Unchanged Prior: Unchanged Mkt Cap: US$15.6bn BBG: PCG US

Electric Utilities Analyst: Jim von Riesemann Tel: +1-212-713-4260

Pipeline plan unveiled PCG files pipeline modernization and safety plan On Friday, PCG submitted its pipeline modernization plan to the CPUC that the company hopes

to complete over two phases. The first phase is expected to be completed at a capital cost of $1.4B and is earmarked for high priority items (older pipe + densely populated areas) while phase 2 is for rural areas, newer pipe with a timeframe and cost still TBD. The California regulators are expected to begin hearings in November; a final decision is likely sometime in the 1H-2012.

We see asymmetrical EPS risk / reward with PCG’s proposal In our view, this adds incremental regulatory risk to the PCG story. Based on our analysis, PCG’s proposed plan offers about $0.05 a share upside potential but perhaps as much as $0.10 a share in potential dilution to 2015 EPS. PCG does not have a tracking mechanism in place, the recovery of these costs is not assured, and the CPUC still appears to have great latitude in determining the allocation of who will bear the expenses, shareholders vs. customers. Our view of the CPUC continues to remain cautious in nature.

Long-awaited NTSB report due tomorrow The National Transportation Safety Board is scheduled to present its final report and is expected to discuss the probable cause of the San Bruno accident and proposed safety recommendations beginning at 9:30 am (ET) on August 30.

Valuation – Neutral rating remains as does $42 target price Our PT reflects a regulated group median P/E multiple on our 2013E. Our 2013E reflects an earned ROE of 10% at the utility based on current capital structure.

US Oil Service & Drilling

Oil Drilling, Equipment & Services Analyst: Angie Sedita Tel: +1-212-713 3587

Angie’s Oil Service and Drilling Weekly HAL: Key takeaways following meetings with CFO, Mark McCollum We spent three days on the road with HAL last week. Investor interest was

high. HAL’s positive commentary alleviated the worst of investor fears, in our view. In North America, the company has not seen any change in customer behavior at this time. In our view, the key will be E&P cash flows for 2012, and thus upstream CAPEX for 2012. Notably, HAL believed that even in a flat rig market in 2012 pressure pumping demand would still exceed supply given a severe shortage. Today, HAL is still adding incremental 24hr frac crews, signing term contracts, w/ the first free frac spread not available until Feb-‘12. Internationally, HAL continues to expect a “slow and steady” recovery in activity and pricing in 2012. Iraq, Libya, Algeria and Angola are still impacting Q3 international margins, but will likely improve in Q4 and 2012. Overall, we believe the sell-off is over done and still have confidence in NAM for 2012; however at $80/bbl (and below) we believe activity would decline from today's levels. See full note on page 4 for additional details.

NE: Signed one year contract for moored deepwater rig in the GOM Noble’s fleet status last week was a modest positive, particularly given a new one year contract for the Amos Runner (4th gen EVA semi - 8,000 ft) in the Gulf of Mexico at a $360k rate vs our forecast of $250k. August has been a strong month for GOM permit issuances so far and although it is still too early to call a potential turnaround, we view this contract as a positive indication of operator demand in the GOM. NE maintained guidance for 2011 total fleet downtime of about 3% (implies about 650 days of downtime). Additionally, Noble has changed the format of the Fleet Status report to provide information in a more “consolidated and transparent manner”. See update on page 9 for additional details.

Pulling levers available to shore up capital BofA completes sale of half its CCB stake As anticipated, BofA announced the sale of 13.1 billion shares of China Construction Bank (CCB), in a

private transaction for $8.3 billion, a 10.9% discount to CCB’s closing price. BofA was carrying its CCB stake as available for sale, so the transaction will have a modest effect on book value, but will increase Tier 1 common equity by $3.5 billion. The sale represents slightly greater than half BofA’s total interest, and the bank will continue to own a 5% interest in CCB.

Modest benefit to Basel III capital, may already be included in guidance We estimate the sale will have a ~20bps positive impact on the bank’s Basel III capital ratios. However, BofA has highlighted managing equity investments as part of its plans for meeting Basel III targets, suggesting this sale may have already been considered in management’s fully phased in Basel III guidance of 6.75%-7% for 12/31/12.

BofA moving quickly, but concerns remain BofA has aggressively moved to ease capital concerns in recent weeks, and while these moves have been welcomed by investors, we believe questions will continue to weigh on the stock until further progress is made on resolving BofA’s large mortgage related liabilities.

Valuation Reiterating our Neutral rating and $10.50 PT, which assumes BAC will trade at 0.8x our TBV estimate in 12 months (historical avg of 2.8x). We expect BAC could remain under pressure so long as questions about its capital position persist.

Good News on Copaxone What’s new? District Court issues favorable claim constructions for Teva The US District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a

favorable set of claim construction rulings in Teva’s patent infringement lawsuit against Sandoz/Momenta and Mylan/Natco regarding Copaxone. The Court adopted all relevant Teva claim interpretations while rejecting the interpretations set forth by Sandoz/Momenta and Mylan/Natco. The Court also denied Mylan’s motion for summary judgement that the patents were invalid for indefiniteness. The trial will start on September 7, 2011.

Our takeaway: More good Copaxone news This is good news and in line with our legal consultant’s expectation. However, while as expected, this has been a significant investor concern and thus should be viewed positively by the investment community.

Thoughts on TEVA/MNTA: For TEVA, we continue to believe that investors will choose to focus on the Copaxone litigation and watch from the sidelines. However, for investors with a long term view, we still believe this stock is undervalued. Regarding MNTA, we expect the stock to remain range-bound as investors continue to look for clarity surrounding the outcome of this litigation.

INDUSTRIALS USDA Crop Progress Report

Heavy Machinery Analyst: Henry Kirn, CFA Tel: +1-212-713 4895

Corn crop condition deteriorates further Corn crop at 54% in “good” or “excellent” condition Today, USDA reported 54% of the corn crop is in “good” or “excellent” condition, down from

last week’s 57%, as well as last year’s 70%. See page 2 for a chart depicting this year’s corn crop condition compared with that of prior years. Corn, soybeans and wheat futures prices rose last week Corn prices increased 5% last week and are 78% above year-ago levels, while soybean

prices rose 4% last week and are up 41% YoY. Wheat prices were 3% higher over the past week and are up 13% YoY. We see solid farm profitability as catalyst for farm equipment demand We note corn, soybean, and wheat prices remain well above historical

averages. USDA forecasts farm cash net income to increase 8% YoY in 2011, and we see the strength in farm profitability as likely to drive strong farm equipment demand through 2012.

We continue to favor Key Call Buy-rated DE for exposure to the NA ag cycle We remain bullish on the farm equipment cycle, as our channel checks indicate both improving demand and pricing. DE remains a UBS Key Call and our preferred way to play the farm equipment cycle as we continue to see beats over the next few quarters as a catalyst for outperformance. Additionally, we maintain our Buy ratings on AGCO and CNH as we expect strength in farm commodity prices as a positive catalyst.

Lowering Estimates and Target Slightly Lower 2012 Growth Estimates on Tougher Macro We slightly lower our 2012 growth estimates for Juniper, now expecting CY12 revenue

growth of ~13.5% vs. our prior 15% (Street consensus at 15%). Our lower estimates are the result of a slowing macro environment with the UBS economic’s team recently lowering its 2012 global GDP growth estimate to 3.3% from 3.8%.

Juniper May Be Planning Deeper Workforce Reduction Following further industry checks, we believe Juniper may be planning a deeper workforce reduction than we previously anticipated, perhaps ~10% of its total headcount of around 9,300 as of quarter end 2Q11. To us the potential workforce reduction signals a greater focus on maintaining profitability, but also the risk of lower near-term company growth.

Ramp of New Products Still Unclear The ramp of Juniper’s new products is still unclear, in our view, and unlikely until 2Q12. Importantly, we see Juniper’s new product launches as a likely catalyst for valuation/ multiple expansion, with more positive investor sentiment possibly delayed until visibility improves—note new QFabric, MobileNext and PTX.

Valuation—Neutral Rating We now lower our Juniper price target to $24 based on ~16x our lowered CY12 EPS estimate of $1.53 ex options. Our lower estimates and multiple is reflective of a slower economic environment, likely lower near-term growth for Juniper, and fewer catalysts on the horizon with uncertainty on new product revenue ramps. Prior target of $31 was based on 20x our prior CY12 EPS of $1.55.

We Caught Up With One of QLIK’s Competitors We spoke to the CEO of Jaspersoft, a Leading Private BI Vendor The Business Intelligence (BI) industry is highly fragmented beyond the top 5

incumbents. Over 45 vendors make up the remaining 28% market share, with MicroStrategy (MSTR) as the only vendor with >3% share (Gartner). While we don’t see heavy competition between vendors in the industry now, the landscape could change if vendors become more aggressive to grab market share.

Jaspersoft vs. QLIK: Higher Growth (Off a Smaller Base) and Lower Cost Jaspersoft’s approach to tackling business intelligence (BI) has proved successful thus far, with 50%-60% annual sales growth from FY09-FY11. Jaspersoft leverages an open source business model to provide a more flexible, cost effective (~20% of the average BI vendor) way to help companies report and analyze data.

Similar Customer Profiles, Different Pricing Structure (SaaS) Jaspersoft customers range from large, sophisticated organizations (US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, British Telecom, General Dynamics, McKesson) to smaller customers. Jaspersoft has 1,000+ subscribers, 14k paying in some form and 14M product downloads vs. QLIK’s 21k customers. While QLIK prices on a license basis, Jaspersoft uses a SaaS pricing model. Contracts are typically 1-3 years and are approximately 90% subscription and 10% services.

Valuation: QLIK’s $26PT is based on 4.7x Forward NTM Sales We don't think competition from Jaspersoft will have a near term implication on QLIK's valuation, but would keep our eyes out for long term effects.

KEY DEFINITIONS Forecast Stock Return (FSR) is defined as expected percentage price appreciation plus gross dividend yield over the next 12 months. Market Return Assumption (MRA) is defined as the one-year local market interest rate plus 5% (a proxy for, and not a forecast of, the equity risk premium). Under Review (UR) Stocks may be flagged as UR by the analyst, indicating that the stock's price target and/or rating are subject to possible change in the near term, usually in response to an event that may affect the investment case or valuation. Short-Term Ratings reflect the expected near-term (up to three months) performance of the stock and do not reflect any change in the fundamental view or investment case. Equity Price Targets have an investment horizon of 12 months. EXCEPTIONS AND SPECIAL CASES UK and European Investment Fund ratings and definitions are: Buy: Positive on factors such as structure, management, performance record, discount; Neutral: Neutral on factors such as structure, management, performance record, discount; Sell: Negative on factors such as structure, management, performance record, discount. Core Banding Exceptions (CBE): Exceptions to the standard +/-6% bands may be granted by the Investment Review Committee (IRC). Factors considered by the IRC include the stock's volatility and the credit spread of the respective company's debt. As a result, stocks deemed to be very high or low risk may be subject to higher or lower bands as they relate to the rating. When such exceptions apply, they will be identified in the Company Disclosures table in the relevant research piece. Research analysts contributing to this report who are employed by any non-US affiliate of UBS Securities LLC are not registered/qualified as research analysts with the NASD and NYSE and therefore are not subject to the restrictions contained in the NASD and NYSE rules on communications with a subject company, public appearances, and trading securities held by a research analyst account. The name of each affiliate and analyst employed by that affiliate contributing to this report, if any, follows.
