Here are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:

GM May Face Bankruptcy

General Motors Corporation (NYSE: GM) is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world. But weak North American sales, falling production volumes and rising raw material costs are increasing our concern for the stock. The company might face bankruptcy if it does not receive any government aid. These issues compel us to rate the shares a Sell with a six-month target price of $2.

GM states that despite implementing the planned operating actions, the company’s estimated liquidity during the remainder of 2008 will approach the minimum amount necessary to operate its business. Looking into the first two quarters of 2009, even with its planned actions, the company's estimated liquidity will fall significantly short of that amount unless economic and automotive industry conditions improve significantly.

GameStop Adjusted, Still a Buy

GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) sells software, hardware and game accessories for video game systems and personal computers. While we remain long-term bulls on video game sales and GameStop, we believe that macro headwinds are beginning to take a bite out of the company’s near-term results.

The worsening economic conditions appear to be picking up steam as we approach the important holiday shopping season. As a result, we are lowering our estimates for GameStop ahead of its third-quarter results.

Web.com a Real Winner

Web.com (Nasdaq: WWWW) is a leading provider of website services for small and medium businesses (SMBs). The company uses a factory approach that it can leverage over thousands of customers.

Although the company is currently feeling a pressure from a slowing consumer market, which many of its customers cater to, the long-term outlook still looks bright.

Vivo a Brazilian Wireless Play

We are keeping our Buy recommendation on Vivo Participacoes SA (NYSE: VIV). The company has a dominant position and a strong brand in the fast-growing Brazilian wireless business. Third quarter results were encouraging together with positive developments like continued subscriber growth and the leadership in post-paid new additions.

Despite the weak economic conditions throughout the world, the short-term outlook remains encouraging due to positive industry trends in Brazil. Finally, we are optimistic about the acquisition of Telemig Celular Participacoes SA (NYSE: TMB), the launching of the northeast operation, the coverage leadership in 3G, and the continued expansion in GSM [global system for mobiles] operation.
