Q2 Growth Report - Part 1

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:48:21 GMT

Today's Wall Street Journal had an article that asked the question "Can Rally Run without Revenue?" Is the revenue situation really that bad? Let's take a quick look at some the data compiled through the Alert HQ process. After each quarter's earnings season, I try to pull together what I am now calling the Growth Report. Part 1 compiles the list of stocks that have shown a year-over-year increase in both revenue and earnings AND a sequential quarter-over-quarter increase in both revenue and earnings. Given the severity of the economic downturn, very few companies have been able to to pull off this trick. The following table presents a comparison of the last two quarters: [More...]

Transportation - Industry Outlook

Tue, 19 May 2009 21:00:13 GMT

Stock performance in the transportation sector has been very uneven, reflecting the varying fortunes of particular industries within the sector. The median year-to-date-stock price gain/(loss) has been mixed for industries in the Zacks transportation universe -- all industries are underperforming the S&P 500’s 0.7% increase, with the exception of air freight. Air freight has been helped by large gains in smaller companies as the giants within the air freight sector, United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) and FedEx Corporation (FDX), are down 4.3% and 15.7% year to date, respectively. Air Freight 17.3% Equipment & Leasing 0.5% Trucking (0.7)% Shipping[More...]

Surveying The Defense Industry

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 14:31:00 GMT

Despite the partisan hand-wringing over a Democrat in the White House, yesterday’s release of the defense budget served notice that U.S. defense spending isn’t being pared back, not with two wars and a ramp-up planned in Afghanistan. Additionally, recent articles suggest possible trends in future defense spending: Electricity Grid in U.S. Penetrated By Spies (WSJ) Defense Firms (...)[More...]

CAI Int'l Expected to Slow

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:28:00 GMT

We are continuing our Hold on CAI International, Inc. (CAP), but cutting our target price to $15.50. CAP posted second quarter diluted EPS of $0.37, up 58% year-over-year and above both consensus and our estimate of $0.32, largely reflecting higher-than-expected revenue growth. Despite this, we are maintaining our diluted EPS estimates at $1.40 for 2008 and at $1.70 for 2009, as the company sold additional shares in mid-August. Results should benefit from strong gains in revenue due to improving container utilization and growing container demand and a reduction in the effective tax rate, as well as the acquisition of Consent Equipment AB, a European container leasing company, expected to add $0.07-$0.10 per share in 2008. CAP pays no dividend. Cargo volume will continue to grow at double-digit rates through 2009 and to sub-10% growth[More...]

EDITORIAL: Best Site for Asian Integrity Center

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Sep. 10--The rule most Filipino officials holding the littlest bit of power live by is obviously "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"
There's news though that Ombudsman Merciditas Guttierez and Dean of the UP's National College of Public Administration and Governance Prof. Alex Brillantes are guided by a more positive slogan: "If you can't beat them, form a school against them!"
They've signed a memorandum of understanding with Australia's Griffith University, represented by Prof. Charles Sampford, to establish in the Philippines the Center for Asian Integrity (CAI), whose main function will be to do research on, and give education on ethics and other anti-corruption and integrity-building subjects to, government employees and officials.

CACI Responds to Court's Decision in Iraq Lawsuit

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:32:00 GMT

CACI International Inc announced today that it respectfully disagrees with the ruling by the U.S District Court in Virginia denying CACI's motion to dismiss a case alleging abuse at Abu Ghraib prison. From day one, CACI has rejected the outrageous allegations against the company in this lawsuit and continues to do so. The court's ruling cannot obscure the fact that none of the four Iraqi plaintiffs alleges any interaction with anyone affiliated with CACI. Rather, their entire action is based upon an undefined "conspiracy" involving the Department of Defense and the military. CACI believes that it is improper for the courts to allow lawsuits against either the government or contractors by aliens detained as enemies during wartime. CACI has unequivocally renounced any abuse of detainees in Iraq and has cooperated fully in all government inquiries relating to Abu Ghraib. CACI intends to vigorously pursue all of its legal alternatives to defend itself and vindicate the company's good name.[More...]
