Montgomery resumes Digene (DIGE 45.30) with a Buy and sets a $55 tgt, as they believe that Digene's strong HPV sales and anticipated EPS leverage over the next several years, which they expect to result in a much higher GAAP EPS growth rate and higher free cash flow, warrant a premium multiple

J.P Morgan upgrades Intel (INTC 20.98) to Overweight from Neutral
Citigroup kommenteerib Intelit (INTC): Reiterate Intel as Our Top Idea — Armed with an acute inflection in grossmargin, heading into seasonal strength while gaining share, and trading at just14x our 2008 EPS estimate (target multiple is 18x), Intel is well poised for priceappreciation. Noting that sentiment has been decidedly negative, and thatownership analysis suggests Intel is by no means over-owned, we reiterate Intelas our top idea. We look forward to Intel’s May 3rd Analyst Day as a forum forIntel to further drive home its margin inflection story. We raise our price targetto $27 from $26.

Research In Motion (RIMM) eelturul 2% miinuses.
Massive system failure affecting Blackberry users. WNBC.com reports it has learned of a massive system failure affecting all blackberry users in the western hemisphere. Research In Motion said its infrastructure failed around 8 p.m. Tuesday and has been down ever since. E-mails are not being pushed to portable blackberry devices. Officials with RIMM said they are trying to reset the system and told NewsChannel 4 that they are concerned that the backlog of data, which will rush through when it comes back on line, could cause a bigger problem. When the error is corrected, RIMM officials said messages would be sent out in stages so the system does not crash. Officials said the problem would carry into the morning. For the moment, RIMM officials recommend all who depend on their blackberry as a major way of communication should make some back-up plans. -

Citigroup on täna laiaulatusliku downgrade’ide seeriaga väljas nafta teenindajate osas ning on 6-l ettevõttel soovituse alandamas ‘osta’ pealt ‘hoia’ peale. Põhjuseks viimase 3 kuu tugev ralli, mis on aktsiahinnad tõstnud nende seatud hinnasihtide lähedale. Downgrade’i said CAM, DRC, FTI, NOV, SLB ja SII.
Avamere puurijate osas ollakse aga veel jätkuvalt optimistlikud ning ‘osta’ soovitust hoitakse veel nii HAL, BJS, GRP, WFT, PTEN kui ka NBR peal. Citi top pickiks nende hulgast on Halliburton (HAL). -
Score Is Tight at Halftime

"Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win."
-- Doug Collins, former NBA basketball player and head coach
The score cards are in, and the first batch of major earnings reports are a mixed bag. While Intel (INTC - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) and JPMorgan (JPM - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) are strong, Yahoo! (YHOO - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) and IBM (IBM - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) are disappointing.
Overall the market seems to have had fairly low expectations and simply meeting estimates is apparently enough to hold us aloft for now. Even though the indices have been running hard for a couple of weeks, the "sell the news" reaction is rather mild; but it is still early and the real story won't be known until later.
The market has had tremendous momentum lately, and that does not tend to end easily. Those who have not participated to the degree they would like are anxious to jump on weakness and gain some exposure, and that keeps things running.
On the other hand, the market is becoming extended and is in need of a rest. Earnings often provide a good excuse for taking some profits, which is why the "sell the news" phenomenon occurs so often.
The market presents a particularly difficult predicament right now. The recent strength has made it increasingly difficult to find good entry points but the persistence of the buying makes not buying a questionable proposition. As I've often said, the market has a tendency to mover further than seems reasonable, which means we sometimes have to make unreasonable decisions if we want to profit.
The bulls remain in firm control and even though the economic negatives out there are painfully obvious, they don't matter until they matter. The market is obviously not worried about the laundry list of problems the bears keep pointing out, and therefore we shouldn't be anxious to anticipate when, and if, the market ever will care.
We have a soft open this morning as earnings are digested, but the standard operating procedure lately is to buy any and all weakness. The bears are incapable of pressing their bets because every time they try, they end up as short squeeze stew.
Overseas markets were a bit weak, with the exception of Japan. Oil is down and may be due for some profit-taking, and gold is holding steady. No positions.
