LONDON (Dow Jones)-- The Irish government will invest a total of EUR7 billion in
Allied Irish Banks PLC
(ALBK.DB) and
Bank of Ireland
PLC (IRE) and insure them against more than EUR24 billion in bad loans as part of a new recapitalization scheme to be announced this week, the Sunday Times reported without citing sources.
Each of the two banks will receive EUR3.5 billion in new state investment in the form of preference shares, the report said.
In addition, a scheme will be put in place that will transfer the risk attached to 80% of the value of property-related loans on the banks' books to the taxpayers.
Under the original recapitalization plan last year, the Irish government intended to invest EUR2 billion each into AIB and
Bank of Ireland
and promised to underwrite a EUR1 billion share issue by each of the banks, the report said.
An AIB spokeswoman declined to comment. A
Bank of Ireland
spokesman couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

SIRI Revenue
For a long time, value investors have used the current share price relative to sales per share levels as an important valuation tool. We utilize a historical weighted average methodology that treats recent years more importantly in the calculation. When looking at SIRI through this framework, we can see that our weighted average historical high and low Price to Sales per share ratios over the last 8 years are 76.01x and 10.57x respectively.
Utilizing this range we can see that SIRI’s current Price to Sales per share ratio of 0.32x is significantly below its average levels historically. In fact, with a current price of $0.12, SIRI is a full 100% below its average Price to Sales ratio at comparable sales levels. This is a rare occurrence and, when taken in context of the other areas of our analysis, can be a strong positive for our outlook for SIRI.
