NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- FuelCell Energy (FCEL) hit a one-year high of $2.20 as of 3:30 p.m. on Monday as the battery maker rose in sympathy with peer company Plug Power (PLUG), which continued to benefit from its recently announced Wal-Mart (WMT) deal.

The firm stated that the deal with Wal-Mart, in which Plug Power will roll out more than 1,700 hydrogen fuel cell solutions to power electric lift truck fleets at six of Wal-Mart's North American distribution centers, could lead to deals with other customers, including Coca-Cola (KO), Procter & Gamble (PG), Sysco (SYY), Kroger (KR) and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG.

Hyundai (NASDAQOTH: HYMTF ) hasn't been much of a player in the green-car wars. It offers a hybrid version of its Sonata sedan, but it's just so-so -- not up to the standard set by class leaders Toyota (NYSE: TM ) and Ford (NYSE: F ) , say reviewers.

Although Camry�� been the highest selling model in the U.S. in the past 12 year, competition is tightening as Ford (F), Nissan (NSANY), Honda (HMC), and Hyundai (HYMTF) are luring customers with their stylish offerings. Honda last redesigned its Accord in 2013, and this year it�� Hyundai, which unveiled the all new 2015 Sonata. What�� challenging for Toyota is that German luxury giant Mercedes-Benz has introduced cars within the $30,000 range that invades the territory of the Camry. Ford Fusion and Nissan Altima have earned positive response from buyer and critics as well. Credit goes to the car engineers who have paid great attention in designing the car, making it look stylish.

Honda (HMC) recorded sales increase of 1% to 132,456 vehicles, while Hyundai Motor (HYMTF) volumes rose 4% - thanks to its subcompact Accent, Sonata sedan, and Sante Fe sports vehicle. However, German auto major Volkswagen (VLKAY) continues to struggle in the U.S. and saw shrinking volumes of 30,831 vehicles, a fall of 8.4% against last year. Volkswagen�� Golf and Beetle performed poorly as sales saw a sharp drop of 31% and 28%, respectively.

High Dividend Stocks — Huntsman (HUN)
Market Cap: $5.7 billion
Dividend Yield:�2.1%
Sector: Chemicals - [By Michael Flannelly]
Due to a number of tailwinds that should benefit Huntsman Corporation (HUN) over the next two years, analysts at Jefferies upgraded the chemical products manufacturer on Monday.
The analysts upgraded HUN from “Hold” to “Buy” and now see shares reaching $26, up from the previous target of $20. This new price target suggests a 35% upside to the stock’s Friday closing price of $19.27.
“Tailwinds into 2014-2015 (butane, new PO/MTBE JV, productivity, better FCF profile, EU footprint), recent relative performance and relative valuation support outperformance into 1H14 even with a neutral resolution on TiO2,” Jefferies analyst Laurence Alexander noted regarding Huntsman Corp.’s future performance.
Huntsman Corporation shares were up 48 cents, or 2.49%, during pre-market trading on Monday. The stock is up 21.19% year-to-date.

On the same day that DuPont declared its intentions, Tronox (NYSE: TROX ) , another big TiO2 producer, chipped in with a similar announcement to increase prices effective June 1. These two were among the only major TiO2 companies that were left to jump on the price-hike bandwagon. Others, like Huntsman (NYSE: HUN ) and Kronos Worldwide, already took the plunge some weeks back.

Geographically Diversified
On 2012, almost 50% of Eastman sales were generated in North America, while more than 25% were in Asia and 20% in Europe, Middle East and Africa. This diversification is to be taken into account since it guarantees long-term revenue, even if cigarette consumption decreases in some specific region (for instance, American sales declined �in recent years), which would stabilize acetate tow demands worldwide.
Industrial Background and Gurus��Preference
Eastman�� earnings per share growth was significantly higher than industry median (46.9% vs. 5.2%) but so was Huntsman��, at 46.5%. The critical difference between these two industry giants stands out by looking at their price to earnings: Eastman�� is below median (16.4 vs. 19.1) while Huntsman rose up to 130.1, thus entailing a significant price premium relative to industry peers��average.
Although Ashland does have an inferior price to earnings ratio than Eastman�� (11.5), there�� a significant difference in their earnings per share growth: 27%, probably caused by a decline in revenue.
This might have been one of the reasons that motivated investors David Dreman (Trades, Portfolio) and Joel Greenblatt (Trades, Portfolio) to significantly reduce their stake in Huntsman (both of them by more than 80% margin). In contrast, Leon Cooperman (Trades, Portfolio) and Scott Black (Trades, Portfolio), reinforced their positions in Eastman. Most notably, Ray Dalio (Trades, Portfolio) even sold out his Huntsman position and bought more than 50,000 Eastman shares and a smaller 5,600 share position at Ashland by the end of September.
Although being volatile, Eastman appears to show a promising future since it�� both cheaper and faster growing than its rivals in che

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]
United Continental (NYSE: UAL ) and American Airlines (NASDAQOTH: AAMRQ ) could be affected the most. The two carriers were already at the bottom of last year's Airline Quality Rating survey. Furthermore, both airlines have a strategy of building hubs in the top business markets. These cities ��such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles ��tend to have the most crowded airspace. As a result, these carriers are likely to have multiple hubs hit with significant delays on peak travel days, which could snarl operations across their systems. JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU ) could also see a disproportionate effect because its main base of operations is at New York's busy JFK Airport.
