Almost Quotes
A lot of stocks have reported surprisingly good earnings this period or at least the expectations were maybe we weren't going to meet these estimates and people were concerned. But they have been performing a little bit better of late. Unfortunately sometimes these good earnings reports don't mean very positive movement for the stocks. Sometimes the stocks have run up in anticipation. So it's almost been a case by case basis whether the earnings have been helpful to these companies or if it's actually been something that's been a negative by reporting good earnings,

Announced Quotes
There might well be further pressure downwards in the next couple of months with pressure on earnings estimates in the UK. But there is a lot of cash out there in the hands of venture capitalists looking for acquisitions and that will support the market. Look at the Hilton talks announced today, and the likes of E.ON looking at ScottishPower.

Almost Quotes
It's the 800-pound gorilla in the room, and no one's talking about it. Hardware manufacturers have to produce and sell a lot more units at a lower price to keep up on the revenue treadmill. Units are up almost 30 percent at Dell ( DELL : Research , Estimates ), but revenues were only up 18 percent.

Amazing Quotes
It's amazing how investors penalize IBM ( IBM : Research , Estimates ) for the progress they've made over the last few years, ... And, yet they'll pay 100 times revenue for other companies.

Economy And Economics Quotes
The intermediate background look in terms of interest rates peaking and the economy slowing to a more sustainable pace without any undue harm is slowly going to play itself out.

Anywhere Quotes
I had the lowest earnings per share on the Street, $1.00, so they're going to have about 15 cents higher depreciation and amortization. But relative to my peers, the EPS estimates that ranged anywhere from $1.30 to $2.38. I'm not sure where they went wrong in their analysis, but obviously, they were way off.
-
Analysis Quotes
In technology, IBM ( IBM : Research , Estimates ) is more of a technical analysis play. The stock has broken out, or getting very close to breaking out, of a trading range. And I think the market's still going to give a premium to quality companies in technology. IBM being listed doesn't get that Nasdaq appeal, however. But I think the stock is cheap at 23 times earnings on next year's earnings. And their big server market and the other types of technology they have are doing very well in the service sector.

Among Quotes
Investors should be out there, picking up some stocks that are trading near their lows or have bounced off their lows and I think that have good futures. And among them: AT&T ( T : Research , Estimates ) -- their wireless division came in on target, 25, 30 percent growth, and I think that's what is going to carry them. Stock is hovering around their lows here. I think it's a 'great buy.' And I think in the next market rally, that the stock will have a nice bounce.

Argue Quotes
In my view, shares of Ford would probably become more attractive if it got down to say $22, $23 a share. Although, I would argue that as long as these investigations are continuing, they'll probably serve to put a lid on the stock price performance. Other stocks in the auto sector we are more positive on include General Motors ( GM : Research , Estimates ). Also at GM, you've got a change in management -- you've got a significant outside shareholder developing in Carl Icahn, owning 30 percent in GM. There's just a lot of value to be realized in the group.

Although Quotes
Clearly we are getting closer to the day when we'll be able to value eBay on traditional price/earnings metrics and although we would not argue that eBay is cheap based on our full-year 2001 EPS estimates of 40 cents a share, we do believe that eBay appears exceedingly inexpensive based on our full-year 2002 EPS estimate of 78 cents a share.

Almost Quotes
The typical leadership in the big bull market, the consumer brand names, those stocks are almost off the horizon now. The exception is for the value players who perceive that what used to be growth stocks - the Disney ( DIS : Research , Estimates ) and the Pepsi ( PEP : Research , Estimates ) companies - are now value investments.

Apparel Quotes
The Gap ( GPS : Research , Estimates ) is a very interesting one. A lot of apparel manufacturers have a problem selling to independent retailers, a real channel conflict.

Earnings Quotes

Advertising Quotes
The first quarter of 2000 will be challenged by very tough entertainment comparisons against last year's hits 'Varsity Blues' and 'Payback,' ... In addition, the timing of the Easter holiday (which falls in the second quarter this year) could shift advertising sales into the second quarter. We will likely be shifting our estimates out later in the year.

Account Quotes
The figures that are being distributed correct the mistaken estimates that were first provided to legislators (by other legislators) during the debate, which did not take into account the fact that grocery sales revenue will go up and cigarette tax revenue will go down, just as has been occurring for the past 10 years.
