Walgreens teatas täna USA bõrsi avanemise eel tulemusi - EPS oli 0.43/share ( 0.41 asemel ), kena tõus aasta taguse 0.34/share võrreldes, läbimüük tõusis kvartalis 16.7%. Kauem kui aasta töötanud apteekides tõusis läbimüük 9.7% ja juurde tuli 119 uut apteeki.
Ilus kvartal, aga kuna Walgreens on viimasel ajal tõusnud ja retail sektorid üles vedanud siis erilist tõusu sellest ei pruugi tulla. -
WAG on pidevalt üllatanud ning selle peale kenasti tõusnud. Tänased ilusad tulemused olid suhteliselt oodatud, kuid mõnevõrra võib see WMT riski vähendada (pikas perspektiivis jäädakse siiski ilmselt karuseks).
Eile tulid peale turgu tulemustega Micron (MU) ja RIMM. Mõlemad kauplevad hetkel plusspoolel ning kui MU osas usun jätkuvassetõusu, siis RIMMilt oodati palju ning usun, et siit võime leida veel nõrkust (eriti kui ei suudeta $140 taset hoida).
Bear Stearns upgrades Research in Motion (RIMM 133.70) to Outperform from Peer Perform
ThinkEquity raises their RIMM tgt to $165 from $115 following Q3 earnings, as they believe the strength in the hardware makes it difficult to appreciate the value of RIMM's N.O.C. which will serve as the delivery vehicle for RIMM's next-generation services reaching far beyond e-mail
Citi@RIMM: ➤ RIMM reported results that beat consensus revs nicely but edged above theEPS target. Similarly, the forward EPS guidance suggests little upwardmovement in consensus numbers.➤ We expect that revenue mix, higher obsolescence expenses, and marketingspend will prevent much margin leverage in the next couple quarters.➤ While mgmt argued that Pearl cannibalization was minimal outside of theirexisting pro-sumer product portfolio, the results reported suggested that it wasmore extensive.➤ Overall shipments came in at 1.8 million which exceeded our forecast by 100K.They acknowledged that 200K of that total came from normal channel build forthe Pearl. This was a bit lower than what we would have anticipated.➤ We are increasing our EPS estimates slightly for FY08 but maintain our pricetarget of $104 and 3H rating on the stock.

Slowing but Not Falling Apart

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight ...
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
-- "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
The last trading day before the Christmas holiday usually finds market players in a positive mood but a bit distracted and not inclined to make big moves. It can be a good day for some "dislocations," to borrow a term, that give us some trading opportunities, but it is going to be choppy and random.
Although folks aren't inclined to be too negative with the holidays beckoning, the mood has turned a bit sour in recent days. Economic data such as the Philly Fed and the revised GDP were a bit troublesome and caused some pressure yesterday, but the Nasdaq has been flat for over a month now.
The bulls have not had the same drive and optimism that kept this market going straight up for several months, and the Nasdaq is in danger of trading below its 50-day simple moving average for the first time since this rally began back in August.
Although it does look like we are losing some momentum the chances of at least a temporary bounce are quite high. The holiday spirit can't be denied, and the dip-buyers have yet to experience any notable failure. To expect the market to completely fall apart in a straight line at this juncture would be unrealistic. There are still enough positives to enable us to bounce back from bouts of selling.
I do think we will have some more downside in the near future, primarily as a result of the high level of complacency. The bulls are too sanguine about what the future holds, and the market beast will be inclined to dish out a scare just to keep them humble.
Economic data are out and are a tad softer than expected. Durable goods excluding transportation fell 1.9% vs. an increase of 1%, and that will give some weight to the argument that the economy is slowing faster than anticipated. However, the core deflator indicated little inflationary pressure, and that is a positive. -

BofA arvamus USA kruiisisektorile. Üldjoontes ollakse sarnaselt Citigroupiga positiivsed, kuid tegelikult varjutab sektorit jätkuvalt kõrged naftahinnad ja tarbija küsitav jõukus teenuse tarbimiseks.
BofA says the takeaway for CCL is that what has been weak does not appear to be getting incrementally worse, and there is visibility into a better 2H07. Overall, firm says CCL's 4Q06 results beat street ests and firm's. They continue to like both CCL and RCL in 2007 and would certainly buy on weakness. 2007 guidance supports their monthly agent survey and overall industry thesis. Firm notes CCL is forecasting FY07 EPS of 2.90-3.10, flattish yields in 1H07, and 1-2% yield growth for the full year, all basically in line with their previous forecasts and street consensus. This also jibes with their monthly agent survey, which suggests weakness in the Caribbean persists but expectations for Wave Season are strong. Changes to 07 ests include more modest yield growth in 2Q, offset somewhat by higher yields in 2H07. Firm forecasts Y07 rev of $13 bln.
Red Herring avaldab oma mõtteid etanooli teemadel. Praegused naftahinnad ja soojad ilmad ei ole etanooli toetanud, kuid on põhjuseid, mis pikema perioodi jooksul võivad etanooli aktsiatele positiivselt mõjuda:
Red Herring reports a lifting of fog allowed oil shipments to return to normal Thursday, restoring inventories of crude oil and -- along with mild weather forecasts -- sinking oil prices. Ethanol stocks were down Thursday as a result. In more bad news, China on Wednesday halted the expansion of its ethanol industry, blaming it for soaring grain prices, according to Xinhua, which added the price of grain rose 4.7% in November. But the forecast isn't all bad for ethanol cos. Here are three reasons to be optimistic about ethanol: 1) The Canadian govt Wednesday called for 5% of its gasoline to be replaced with "renewable content," such as ethanol, by 2010. That amounts to a requirement of about 2.1 bln liters of ethanol a year, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada; 2) In the wake of a few disappointing ethanol IPOs, U.S. BioEnergy (USBE) did better than some industry watchers expected; 3) Two more announcements this week indicate strides in cellulosic ethanol, ethanol from materials such as corn stover, wood chips, and switchgrass. In the first announcement, New York Governor George Pataki announced Wednesday the state was handing out awards to Mascoma and Catalyst Renewables to advance cellulosic ethanol. In the second announcement, SunOpta (STKL) and GreenField Ethanol on Thursday announced they signed a joint venture agreement to develop "commercial-scale processes" to made cellulosic ethanol from wood chips...

Toornafta veerbuari lepingud on õige pisikeses kauplemisvahemikus, kuid ülalpool 50 päeva libisevat keskmist. Üllatavalt korralik toetustase:

Kui eile näitas Nasdaq accumulation/distriribution 20 päeva libiseva keskmisega ristumist, siis täna on napilt seda ka DJIA tegemas. Ka tänane varajane allamüük on viinud indeksi SARi järgi stoptasemele. Mitmed crossoverid korraga on tehnikutele ja swingijatele tihtipeale mokkamööda. DJIA ei ole veel allapoole bollingeri eraldavat libisevat keskmist tulnud, kuid arvatavasti läbitakse seegi. Indeksi volatiilsus on tõusnud. Turuosaliste "hirmuindeks" VIX on tõusnud 11 punkti alla, kuid on allpool 50 päeva libisevat keskmist.
