It should be evident ordsprog

It should be evident by now that the rest of the earnings are going to come in at the same sort of magnitude over estimates. The focus is going to shift.

Earnings estimates are really, really weak -- and the focus really is earnings. In October, a rosy picture was painted for 2003. Now people are saying the second half will be good. I'm very, very leery about the economic condition. Come July, August, I'm afraid the earnings estimates will be cut.

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.

The focus will shift from earnings to the presidential election, ... We're in this last part of earnings reporting and most of the damage has already been done. There's not one sector that has not been raided.

After some mixed results on the earnings front in tech, we are on the mend.

I think the focus will shift toward corporate profits. Whether they (the Fed) raise rates a quarter point or not, I think it's not going to be the main focus of investors' attention. People are going to be watching the earnings pretty closely .

The focus has been on earnings, and when you get something like Aetna, then that's going to help the market. But one of these days, that focus is going to shift to inflation and interest rates. And the Fed is going to have to get it absolutely right in order for this market to manage even small gains.

[Some analysts said that knowing earnings were dismal, GM had to take some sort of action.] Things like today are great — it's better than not being able to announce anything, ... But I certainly don't think it's anywhere near the scope or the magnitude of what this company needs.

[So is IBM's announcement the beginning of the shift to on-demand computing? Some say absolutely:] We're on the tip of a change on the order of magnitude of [the beginning of] the client server in late '80s, ... Our estimates are that outsourcing and on-demand computing will cut IT costs [buying and operating] in half over the next five years.

We've now changed the valuation of the stock market quite a bit, ... If anything, the earnings estimates have been going up and stocks have been going down.

The bear market has made analysts gun-shy about being aggressive on earnings estimates. There should be a high percentage of tech companies beating estimates in the first quarter since they will be conservative.

The market is jittery and it's gonna keep heading lower for a while. Earnings news is doing nothing to help. Who cares if a company beat estimates by a penny when the profits are so far down from the year before and the estimates were already lowered three times?
