Expectations Continue To Collapse - Earnings Trends

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:08:00 GMT

Key Points: Keep your eye on Trends, not Levels when it comes to estimate data Earnings expectations are collapsing for both the fourth quarter and 2009 Almost all areas are affected; Health Care is the only tenuous holdout Revisions ratios remain deep in negative territory P/Es based on 2009 estimates will prove to be to low as "E" plunges Energy was only source of significant growth in the third-quarter, but will fade in the fourth-quarter and 2009 Financial sector as a whole in the red in the third quarter Total Net Income Growth Total net income of those[More...]

A Look At The O&G Sector

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:48:00 GMT

In early morning trading, US stock futures are up on news of a government rescue package for Citibank. As I mentioned in last night's sector overview, sector charts are looking bearish here. A continuation of Friday's rally will provide some improved entries for short trades. As a side note, I recommend checking out the blogger sentiment polls at Ticker Sense. The figures going back to week of 10/23 are available on the lead page. Just for the record, here is the bullish percentage in the blogger sentiment poll for the past five weeks: 10/20 62.50% 10/27 52.17% 11/3 60.87% 11/10 65.22% 11/17 57.89% Usually the neutral figure fell between 15-25%. At least among bloggers, bullish sentiment has remained fairly[More...]

Highlighted stocks include Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Duke Energy (DUK), MBIA (MBI) and Sunoco (SUN) Important note: Keep your focus on the trends in estimates, not on the actual projections! An estimate in motion tends to stay in motion. Earnings estimates are dropping rapidly, and nearly across the board. This is particularly true for 2009 estimates[More...]

Halloween Comes Early - Earnings Trends

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:41:00 GMT

Highlighted stocks include Amgen Inc (AMGN), Ashland Inc (ASH), EMC Corporation (EMC) and Terex Corporation (TEX). Important note: Keep your focus on the trends in estimates, not on the levels! An estimate in motion tends to stay in motion. Estimates are dropping rapidly, and nearly across the board. This means that the currently measured expectations for the fourth quarter and for 2009 are far too high. The growth rate expected[More...]

Earnings Expectations Plunging - Earnings Trends

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:28:00 GMT

This week's numbers do not include the passage of the bailout plan and I am unsure if it will do anything to slow the decline, either in the Financials or the rest of the market. The credit markets are frozen more solid than Greenland, and that will spread the pain far beyond lower Manhattan the longer it persists. There are only a relative handful of actual earnings reports in, and those do not seem that encouraging, although on balance they are still beating expectations. There is considerable uncertainty about third-quarter earnings and the very slow pace of estimate revisions does not give us that much to go on. We are not even that sure how much of the Financial sector will be included in the results at this point. Huge players as of a year ago effectively no longer exist as far as the public market is concerned. Lehman, Fannie, Freddie, WAMU and AIG effectively longer exist as public companies. Bear Sterns,[More...]

Power to the people?: Companies say price has to be right

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:45:00 GMT

Nov. 7--LEWISBURG -- Managers of mid- to large-size businesses shopped their options for electricity suppliers here Friday, but "choice" remained largely a phantom for private homeowners.
The closest one could get to hope that competition pressure would force prices down for home users served by PPL Electric Utilities was with Direct Energy of Pittsburgh.
Mike Beck, Direct Energy's vice president for residential business, confirmed in a phone call that the firm is actively looking at PPL territory, but insisted no decision has been made.
