Estimates Quotations

Estimates of the ionic mobilities vary over a considerable range; but in any event, the positive ionic defect is much more mobile in the solid than in the liquid, and its mobility varies very little with the temperature.

These are estimates that are done by the experts as to how much they expect we could get from the first lease sale that would take place in ANWR, and the estimate is about $2.5 billion.

Estimates are that at least 70 per cent of all stars are accompanied by planets, and since the latter can occur in systems rather than as individuals (think of our own solar system), the number of planets in the Milky Way galaxy is of order one trillion.

We are lowering our future revenue estimates modestly, which causes a slight decline in our earnings-per-share assumptions. Our fourth-quarter earnings estimate now is $1.45, down a penny, and our 2001 estimate is $4.90, down from $4.95.

We are lowering our 2001 and 2002 estimates to take into account ongoing pressure on the company from the automotive market and from the initiatives that require substantial investment in advanced semiconductors, laser technologies, and commercial satellite Internet services.

We believe that the fundamentals of our business are still very healthy, and we did beat analysts estimates in terms of our earnings, and saw an opportunity to make a little more money with some slowness in Europe and the government sector. In the second half, we're still confident that the target and goal we have talked to the Street about, the 30 percent growth, is achievable, and believe that seasonally the second half is better, and will be this year as well,

We believe that the chances of Oracle hitting consensus estimates for its May quarter are low.

There are certain conversations we aren't having with companies, (so) our estimates aren't as good,

The reason for that is because the General Assembly has yet to pass a budget. Therefore, we have to base our six-year plan update on the latest revenue estimates from the Department of Taxation.

Until you go out into the real world, the estimates are just that.

We believe that Compaq also did a good job on the profitability front, which should enable operating margins to more than double from third-quarter levels ... this should lead to earnings-per-share at least several cents higher than the consensus First Call estimates of $0.16.

We remain negative on PCs and semis and believe there is still downside risk to estimates and stock prices.

We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

We believe today's announcement sets the stage for further share gains by Apple. Our estimates suggest that each point of share Apple takes in the overall personal computer (PC) market translates into a positive 25 cents per share to our fiscal year estimates.

World Health Organisation estimates suggest we prepare for a situation where one quarter of our population is infected,

We like Analog Devices Ê( ADI : Research , Estimates ) because it's a leading company in the analog segment of the semiconductor industry -- and the analog segment I think this cycle is looking better than it's ever been because of the proliferation of the devices other than PCs. So Analog is riding on that curve. They're the fastest-growing analog company in the last several quarters, and it also has better margin than it ever had in its history, as a public company.

Until divers go down and actually examine the rigs and engineers can make estimates on the repair times, we just won't know.

Worldwide Internet retail sales were almost $23 billion in 1999 and we expect that to double in 2000. Street estimates for worldwide sales in 2002 are approximately $105 billion, with $65 billion of that in the U.S. This implies an annual growth rate of 80 percent worldwide.

We're still in a negative trend. Long-term interest rates are too high, earnings estimates are still too high. We've had seven out of eight down weeks, so we saw a little bounce in the beginning of this week. But the downward pressure hasn't eased.

We're still deciding if we should push for a capital gains cut this year, ... The ironic thing is that we do all these estimates on what kind of impact a cut would have and then the U.S. Treasury says 'Oh, no. We can't afford it.' Well, we cut capital gains a few years ago and now we've got an enormous budget surplus. Much of it was generated by capital gains.

When figuring out revenue estimates for the state, we use payroll numbers because we think they're a more accurate reflection of what's really happening in the economy.

We did not aim to survey or list individual sites but to provide estimates based on available information, such as old Ordnance Survey maps and local authority land records. The information should assist in considering the progress being made in tackling land contamination, and in the development of policy and strategies at a local, regional and national level.

We did lose possibly as much as two million gallons onto the beaches. We're still doing the estimates on that. We don't know how much could possibly have made it to the ocean. We know some did.

There are more studies, the risk estimates are more consistently elevated, and they're higher than they were for lung cancer. Plus, there's all these toxicology studies and molecular biology they didn't have back then.

There are estimates that there are as many as 25 million Americans who have a fear of flying. When we, as an airport, can put an individual in the air, we connect them with the entire world.

There are estimates that 2 to 3 percent of cancers in the U.S. each year are engendered by exposure to repetitive imaging.

We've seen estimates of how much the GPS tracking technology will cost Virginia. The number that I've seen is $36 million a year. For a drop in the bucket compared to that, the state can do so much more to prevent these kinds of things from happening.

We use the funding estimates as a place holder because we do not know what the actual cost will be until we begin building. It's not until you actually bid the project that you'll have an idea of what it's going to be and even then you many have to adjust it again.

There are various estimates about the third quarter impact. Our CEA (Council of Economic Advisers) numbers are somewhere between a half and one percentage point on growth. That would still probably leave us at a decent rate of growth for the third quarter.

There are various estimates about the third quarter impact, ... Our CEA (Council of Economic Advisers) numbers are somewhere between a half and one percentage point on growth. That would still probably leave us at a decent rate of growth for the third quarter.

Make no mistake, INTL has been missing estimates recently as the company has missed the last four quarters,

Lower withdrawals than most estimates -- at 20 billion cubic feet -- are bearish for gas, but the concern about the Nigerian supply of crude and the reaction to the Iranian situation could result in crude giving gas some support.

Many states are having an unexpected surplus of revenue, and that is because of economic growth. It's mainly because their estimates on economic growth were very low.

Seasonal factors should be turning favorable now. Micron has increased market share and has enhanced its technology compared with the last cycle. We see room for improvement in both fiscal 2001 estimates and valuation.

Semi stocks won't do anything until we get guidance about estimates for 2004. Otherwise, the stocks will get really overheated.

Some companies have beat, ... but earnings estimates have been lowered and comparisons are easy on a year-over-year basis, because last year was weak.

Should the revenue streams from these new businesses achieve the success we think possible, it is quite possible that estimates will prove too low.

Should bid estimates come in higher than is determined proper, the project would be sent out again for bids.

Most upside against our estimates came from equity trading as with Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers. The positive surprise ... was that mortgage trading results were actually up on last year.

Most oil companies will exceed estimates. If they don't, then there is probably a big problem underlying that. Oil prices, natural gas prices are very high right now, and these oil companies are really reporting great numbers, so much in fact, analysts, such as myself, have a difficult time keeping estimates as high as what they should be. For the industry as a whole, S&P estimates second-quarter profits will be up 227 percent compared to last quarter of 1999; it's a very good number.

Most people's estimates will be going up for the fourth quarter.

Now we're in slash and burn time. We think that analysts are going to take down estimates to 5 or 6 percent growth.

Obviously, the results of this research show that there is a need for education. Given this information, it's not surprising that Health Canada estimates that there are 2 million cases of foodborne illness each year and proper food handling could reduce the risk of illness.

Obviously the cell business is extremely hot in Europe and it's going to continue and it's going to grow in other parts of the world and I think a good supplier of that comes from Motorola ( MOT : Research , Estimates ) and again, the stock has absorbed a lot of negative news lately and it does seem to have made a bottom and it keeps bouncing off its lows. So that tells me that, you know, going forward things will change. We might encounter another quarter of bad news out of them but I think at these levels it should be bought.

Right now, I've recommended Boeing ( BA : Research , Estimates ) for the last couple of months. I did downgrade that about two weeks on the price move. I still think the stocks continue to perform however, although I think the gains will be modest from here in the near term.

Policyholders can rest assured knowing that the insurance industry in the United States is a $1 trillion industry with assets of more than $3 trillion, ... Therefore, preliminary loss estimates of $20 billion represent only 2 percent of the premiums written in 2000.

Nielsen is keeping pace with the evolving ways that people watch television, thereby ensuring that our ratings continue to be accurate and reliable. The introduction of audience estimates for DVR is a major milestone in ratings history and will provide the most detailed information ever on how and when people watch television.

I would caution those who have large estimates for retail sales of this product, particularly in the fourth quarter. The product will launch in late June, so there will be insufficient time for re-sellers to re-order it.

If they exceed estimates for this quarter, which I think they will, and raise guidance for the upcoming quarter, investors would be more favorably inclined to Microsoft.

IBM ( IBM : Research , Estimates ) is a very well-managed company, it looks to us like the shares have made a bottom, that the short-term trend is improving, that momentum is improving. And the company has had some disappointing comments to make. But that's already in the price of the stock. And the stock is down some 40-ish percent from its high, and very well managed.

IBM  ( IBM : Research , Estimates ) is another company which I think is one of great Internet plays in the next three or four years, and one of the differences between IBM and others is they're earning billions of dollars. So I think IBM can be bought. I don't think it's expensive here.

I believe we have to go back in front of the City Council sometime soon to make a presentation, ... By that point we'll have renderings of building, plans for the field, a whole higher level of detail as well as some cost estimates for the construction.

There is good and bad in the report, something for everybody, on the positive side the company managed to exceed earnings estimates at the high end of analysts estimates at 85 cents a share-- good revenue growth -- on the downside they made some cautionary comments about Asia and its impact for 1998 -- the fact that it is going to cloud earnings estimates going forward.

We're operating strictly with estimates. It was based on our best estimates at the time.

have said that the gear that they put away matched the estimates that the intelligence agencies of both (British and Irish) governments provided.

The range of estimates for the works allows new buyers to enter the market.

Under Doha, every nation will gain -- and the developing world stands to gain the most. The World Bank estimates that if the Doha Round passes, 300 million people will be lifted from poverty

The longer-term business climate is improving, although we believe it is premature to increase consensus sales and earnings estimates for the full year of 1999 beyond their present levels.

We maintain our 'equal-weight' rating on Intel, but believe that a better buying opportunity will likely occur after consensus earnings estimates are reduced.

I also like Tandy ( TAN : Research , Estimates ). They sell all the electronic gear that is so exciting on the dip.

It can be very judgmental as to when you decide to recognize that revenue, in the sense that you're trying to match it against expenses. It comes down to a lot of estimates really for the management.

It could make a substantial difference. The estimates ... have suggested that you might be able to cut mortality roughly in half.

It is a little bounce and it's not to be unexpected given how much the markets sold off last week so I wouldn't read too much into this. Earnings are going to be very important to help set the tone, but the out quarters are still very much at risk and those estimates have not come down to the extent I think they should.

I think the latest estimates were that we have about 250,000 millionaires and billionaires. President Obama wants to increase their taxes 13 percent.

I think you're seeing the market raising its estimates on economic growth, but that also may mean higher rates. So we're still digesting what all this means, and the result so far is a flat-to-lower market.

I think you're going to see a really wide range of estimates unless they help us with that, which I'm not sure they'll do.

I thought the results were pretty good. They were (generally) in line with our expectations, with cable outperforming our estimates on all fronts.

I think we can see the market continue to move up through the summer, but it's going to depend on the earnings and the economic news. We should begin to see some evidence of an economic pick-up in the July data, which will start to come out early August. Second-quarter earnings look to be favorable, judging by the estimates and the fact that there have been less negative pre-announcements than in recent quarters.

I think by the end of the month, we'll be well above the administration's estimates as well as ours. We've already exceeded the administration's estimate, and there's still two days to go.

I think a payrolls number that varies widely from estimates will shake up stocks, ... But as long as we're roughly in line with forecasts, there probably won't be much stock reaction.

I think it's probably on the high side. I've seen other estimates more in line with a half-percent hurt to GDP growth in the third quarter and fourth quarter -- but with a pick-up of roughly that order for '06,

I think some of the consensus numbers are a little stale some of the estimates that go into that don't reflect the recent thinking many analysts have about Morgan Stanley.

I think there was a pretty good recognition that the consensus number was too high and that some of the estimates out there were stale.

Our June quarter revenue and earnings per share estimates are revised down to less than the typical excess of actual results over guidance.

Our finding confirms the higher estimates that have been suggested previously.

Overall, companies are topping estimates by about two percent, which is below the long term average of 3.2 percent and the average of the last 8 quarters, which is 5 percent.

Our view is that the old consensus of $4 per share, which reflects analysts' current estimates of our entire business before the second-quarter action, is about the right estimate for our new continuing operations, excluding the special charges.

Our upgrade is prompted by an assessment of free cash flow power that concludes the shares are below fair value. We expect the company to consistently meet or beat consensus EPS estimates in 2006.

Results are coming in in line or slightly ahead, if we do see a broad economic recovery in Europe, people's estimates can still be revised up quite a bit.

Previous research and an independent scientific review have confirmed our harvest estimates are valid. However, survival outside of hunting seasons and the factors affecting it are not well known in Pennsylvania deer.

Oracle RAC has come a long way in establishing itself as a key technology in delivering unparalleled high availability and scalability solutions for Oracle databases. Forrester estimates that there are more than 1,200 customers who are currently using RAC in production, and this is likely to double in the next 12 to 18 months as enterprises look to deploy low-cost commodity servers and extend their applications to support higher availability.

Oracle has an August quarter, so we are more compelled to cut estimates now. Siebel is September, so we could wait, but the numbers just look too optimistic. Given cost reductions, the EPS cut for Oracle is small, but the growth rates for Siebel are much faster, so EPS reductions more significant.

Given cost reductions, the EPS cut for Oracle is small, but the growth rates for Siebel are much faster, so EPS reductions more significant.

Some of the names that fit into that context actually names like The Gap ( GPS : Research , Estimates ). Basic items like jeans and khakis, people certainly going there on a repeat basis.

I think people are just abandoning technology, especially when you can't count on a 'Nokia' that hasn't missed (expectations) in years. The point is that there's nothing wrong with these companies - what's wrong is that analysts were not looking at the second half of the year. What's happening now is estimates are going to come down to match the reality of the economic situation.

I think most people understood that estimates for the year were way too high. When the estimates come down to reasonable levels, that's when investors look to get back in.

I think the stocks all reflect concerns that the estimates won't hold up because the economy will weaken. If it becomes clear the estimates do hold up, I'm confident the stocks will do well. I've got fairly conservative estimates, below consensus, and the stocks are steals based on my estimates.

Management assured Wall Street on yesterday's call that the pipeline is full of innovative new products. With our pre-quarter concerns allayed and a significant rise in consensus estimates we are raising our rating.

That would lead to more bullish analyst reports on the companies, which would help the stock price. We wouldn't change our estimates on the company, but we'd say in the reports the official expectation was conservative." ()

Most earlier estimates of neutron-star speeds depended on educated guesses about their distances. With this one, we have a precise, direct measurement of the distance, so we can measure the speed directly.

Microsoft's management has not changed its posture on the quarter, but we believe recent data suggests that Street estimates may need to come down,
