The overall market is ordsprog

The overall market is down; everything is getting hit, ... The quarter was a solid quarter for them and it was basically in line. But really, people aren't focused so much on the earnings anymore. They are more interested in the merger.

Basically, it was an in-line quarter. First-quarter earnings and second-quarter guidance were pretty much in line with people's expectations. But that wasn't enough to sustain the premium stock price.

Fourth-quarter earnings per share were about in line with consensus. Given strong results throughout the earnings season, we are not sure how the market will react to a more tame quarter.

If a company has stable earnings quarter after quarter, ... and each quarter its earnings go up another penny, and then all of a sudden, they don't go up anymore, investors go nuts.

We've had a big stock run since hitting the lows last March. Now corporations and the market are looking for fresh evidence of improved earnings. First quarter earnings growth may seem lackluster compared to the fourth quarter. I think rather it will be the second-quarter earnings that impress.

Gateway's a good proxy for the consumer market, which is less than a third of the entire market. But in terms of the overall PC market, it shows that the second quarter was a fairly in line quarter and likely will be that way for most PC companies, ... And their outlook is pointing toward a pretty solid second half, which is what I think most of them will be expecting.

Our solid first-quarter performance is in line with our expectations for the quarter and demonstrates progress towards achieving our financial goals for the year. We continue to remain focused on preparing for potential new product launches in 2003.

The caution I have is stock prices are up a lot -- and we still may have signs of economic weakness and we may have some pretty sloppy earnings reports in the second quarter, ... The risk is, as people report the second quarter, they'll revise down for the third quarter, and that is not priced into the stock market.

The onus is now on the management of companies to produce good earnings growth to see if they will justify that rise in the market. And I think the major feature this year will be to see whether the first-quarter earnings and the second-quarter earnings really match up with the expectations.

Investors aren't validating the market's extreme rise in the first couple of weeks of the year, and it is basically moving back to where it was in December. The market is in a consolidation phase ahead of fourth-quarter earnings to see whether last year's rise is justifiable.

We had a very good quarter. Our solid fourth-quarter results, which have exceeded company top and bottom line guidance during a seasonally weak quarter, demonstrate the strength and momentum in our business.

The stock had a great run-up in anticipation of solid earnings, and I think their database revenue was a little shy of what people were looking for -- that's probably why people are selling in after-market (trading). Overall, it was a good quarter.

I would summarize the quarter as a solid quarter from a revenue and earnings per share perspective and a strong quarter from an orders perspective.

Overall, the quarter is going to be excellent. We think it will match the 23.6 percent earnings growth for the first quarter, which was the highest we'd seen since back in the fourth quarter of 1993. It's going to be a very good quarter for earnings despite all the pessimism here during the peak time of pre-announcements. But pre-announcements are running a little bit less negative than they usually do so I think it's a bit of an over-reaction.

Everyone hopes the fourth-quarter earnings will give a much needed boost to a poor equity market, but if you remember last quarter, we had the best earnings season for a while, and it wasn't enough to push the Dow to new highs,
