My sense heading into ordsprog

My sense heading into the quarter was the market expected Humana to raise guidance today. I think they ultimately do raise guidance for 2006, but given that they didn't today, I think that will be viewed as a disappointment.

I'm a little surprised they didn't raise guidance after this kind of a quarter, but I think that's probably just conservatism right now.

The challenge for this company is investors have been trained for them to beat numbers and raise guidance, which they didn't do this quarter.

The fact that they didn't raise their dividend any further - we expected 0.70 euro ($A1.14) per share - was a disappointment when viewed against the 11 percent increase in net profit. We would hold the stock.

He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy; / And whoever turns away from My reminder, his shall be a straitened life, and We will raise him on the day of resurrection, blind.

We see no reason to change our guidance, nor would we raise our guidance,

Their guidance being overly conservative for next quarter, that's what's causing the most chaos in the shares today. People want a little more explanation of why they're giving such conservative guidance.

Today's drop is because of missed earnings expectations for the fourth quarter and also that the guidance for the 2006 production was slightly underwhelming.

It would have been a great quarter if we didn't have the guidance for Q2. Guidance for the next quarter was somewhat less than people hoped for. They were hoping the second quarter would be in line with the balance of the year.

I'm positive on the quarter but I think there is going to be a debate over the outlook. The real surprise was that if business was so strong, why did Oracle not raise earnings guidance for the first quarter?

It all depends on guidance for the fourth quarter. If it isn't that exciting, then Oracle maybe doesn't have to raise its bid,
