AeroVironment (AVAV) Earnings Good Enough; Some Bump in Guidance

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:21:59 GMT

While the heart of earnings season starts up in 2 weeks (already?) some names with non typical quarter ends (i.e. July instead of June) are out this week. We mentioned Monsanto (MON) this morning, Darden Restaurants (DRI) reported last night (not so great on guidance) along with Oracle (ORCL), Riverbed Technology (RVBD) and PMC Sierra (PMCS) tomorrow and a few others are also out there. One small defense firm we still like is AeroVironment (AVAV) - unfortunately in the quest for 'reflation' or 'technology' stocks this name has sat ignored for a few months as the computers jump in and out of the[More...]

Monsanto (NYSE: MON) Pulls Full Year Earnings Guidance Down

Wed, 27 May 2009 15:09:00 GMT

We don't currently own Monsanto (MON) as we exited in early April (Apr 7, 2009: Bookkeeping - Closing Monsanto) just under $80. While the agriculture sector has been exceedingly hot of late, most of the action has been in the "go to" momentum names in fertilizers. This morning Monsanto announced a "sort of" earnings shortfall (guiding to the lower end of a previous range) based on a dramatic drop in Roundup - must be all those consumers flooding into Home Depot (HD) and Lowes (LOW) unaware of the green shoots sprouting around them. Or farmers also unaware of the resurgent US economy. The stock is only down 4% so no big deal, and Monsanto go forward is (in my mind)[More...]

Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) Results Excellent; Panera Bread (PNRA) Decent

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:32:45 GMT

As I proposed in the Monday-Tuesday Earnings Preview Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) - their results last quarter set off 90 days of victory; frankly at this point the casual dining group is so overheated we should start seeing "sell the news reactions" - imperative word being "should". And in yesterday's update (Bookkeeping: Some Selective Purchases) [More...]

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:22:14 GMT

According to government accounting, seven banks have now paid back their TARP monies. And for many reasons a whole host of banks are now racing to pay back their obligations to the US Treasury. To date $467,310,000 has been paid back. In addition those seven banks have paid the accrued dividends associated with the TARP program terms. Treasury Secretary Geithner's underscored the [More...]

Bloomberg: Oil My Slingshot Up After Credit Freezes Rigs

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:47:20 GMT

While I doubt the veracity of the current move up in oil (Mar 27: Thesis Buying 101 in Oil - Even Experts Mock It) this Bloomberg piece does parallel completely my thoughts over the longer term that we've been stating for the better part of a year; when the world economy does indeed return to stabilization, and then growth the lack of investment now will cause a repeat of what we went through in 2007 and early 2008 in prices of commodities. (Mar 15: NYT - As Oil Prices Plunge, a Frenzy of Drilling Ends) If indeed the "bull" case of "the recovery" comes true sooner rather than later it will be bemusing[More...]
