Daily Report For Tuesday, Apr 14, 2009

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:18:59 GMT

(9:30am ET) Stocks in NY sank at the open following various negative reports from TV talking heads, though trade volume was weak on the Easter Monday. After the close, Goldman Sachs surprised with unusually positive revenue and earnings. Today, President Obama will be making a speech on the state of the economy. Traders are confused. Yesterday was pretty much a lost day in the market. Very little of consequence happened. By the close, the DJIA’s small loss (-25.57 -0.32% to 8057.81) offset the small gain in the S&P (+2.17 +0.25% to 858.73), while the NASDAQ (+0.77 +0.05% to 1653.31) was flat. The Toronto Composite (+98.50 +1.07% to 9285.6) and the Toronto Venture Board (+11.89 +1.23% to 980.86) were stronger as the metal miners and goldminers enjoyed a good day. Except for Japan’s Nikkei 225 index (-0.92% to 8842.7), prices today were strong in the major international equity markets: Australia (+2.22% to[More...]

Vimpel-Communications, or VimpelCom (VIP) is the 2nd-largest cellular carrier in Russia with approximately 25% market share an continued expansion in regions of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), operating GSM-based wireless services. We are encouraged with VimpelCom's successful sales growth trend and the company's ability to retain subscribers on a recurring basis, even as overall economic factors remain weak. The company added over 4 million mobile subscribers and improved operating margins from 46.8% last quarter to 48.8% in the recent reporting period. We reiterate our Buy rating while reducing the valuation target as we account for global economic factors, ongoing geopolitical events in Russia (surrounding countries),[More...]

We believe a difficult U.S. economy and higher marketing expenses will hamper Align Tech, Inc.?s (ALGN) topline growth and margins. Strong international growth and foreign exchange gains will help offset this. In the near-term, we think earnings quality could become an issue as the management finds it difficult to meet growth targets. Meaningful earnings growth will be pushed out to fiscal 2009 and 2010. We are reiterating the current Hold recommendation. We have adjusted our models to reflect the current economic environment. We expect fiscal 2008 sales growth of 10%, in-line with the management?s guidance of $309 million - $314 million. Heavier marketing spending may be necessary to drive GP channel penetration required to achieve management s growth targets. As a result, margin pressure can be expected, possibly leading to earnings quality issues.[More...]
