搂 New $1.0 billion share repurchase program authorized

搂 Increased regular quarterly dividend by 20% to $0.30 per share

"Our results from continuing operations for the quarter are improved meaningfully over last year reflecting the addition of the Los Angeles refining, marketing and logistics assets and delivery of about $200 million of EBITDA improvements through a combination of synergy capture and other business improvements," said Greg Goff, president and CEO. "Our year-over-year performance for the second quarter clearly demonstrates the value we're delivering through our strategic initiatives and our commitment to delivering on our California synergy and other business improvement objectives. This is especially important when you consider that the Tesoro Index is down over $2.00 per barrel and our stock based compensation expense is up $0.14 per share from a year ago."

    Meanwhile, among precious-metals miners, fundamentals and earnings-related news are playing a vital role. For instance, Coeur Mining (NYSE: CDE  ) jumped 7% after the company said that its proven and probable silver reserves jumped 16% and gold reserves rose 12% in 2013. Measured and indicated silver resources jumped 27% as well, with even larger jumps in inferred resources in both silver and gold. With earnings due out later this week, Coeur is putting itself in position to benefit greatly if precious metals can rebound further.

    In the following video, Dan Caplinger, The Motley Fool's director of investment planning, looks at three stocks that have solid dividend yields and reasonable valuations. Specifically, Dan looks closely at AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV  ) , AT&T� (NYSE: T  ) , and ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP  ) all of which have yields above 3% and none of which trades at more than 12 times trailing 12-month earnings. Dan goes through the pluses and minuses of all of those stocks, noting that the telecommunications company from the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) has the highest yield of the three but that all of the stocks have good growth prospects as well as income. Dan concludes that these three stocks make a good place to start for those looking for dividend stocks at reasonable prices even after the Dow's record-setting run in recent years.

    Recently giant food conglomerate, Cargill announced it had partnered with the Swiss biosynthetic pharmaceutical company, Evolva (EVE:SW), to develop a more consistent and less expensive stevia sweetener via Evolva�� microbial fermentation-based process.� This is big news for the future of stevia because a microbial fermentation-based process does not have to rely on soil conditions or weather, and stevia can be manufactured anywhere, thus having the potential of guaranteeing an endless supply line of stevia.� Through the microbial fermentation, the manufacturer has the capability to process the key sweet individual components of stevia using low-cost plant sugars, and allows for the individual components of stevia, regardless of how minute, to be developed creating blends in any volume, which then could open the door for these manufacturers to fine-tune its stevia to local tastes.� But what would be most attractive is that, because the fermentation process does not require the entire plant, the method could conceivably shave upwards of 70% off the cost of producing stevia extracts.�
