Investors view as positive ordsprog

Investors view as positive Husky's strong fourth-quarter profit and the approval for Hutchison's Italian unit's listing.

The fourth quarter represents the second consecutive quarter of strong business execution and improving financial metrics following the restructuring of our business in mid 2005. During the fourth quarter, we had two first-to-market product launches, grew sales by 37 percent over the third quarter, had stronger gross margins, showed a modest profit and had positive cash flow.

The overall background is positive for Brazil, foreign investors are going in, and investors have a very strong, positive view on the country. There's reason to feel very positive about the real.

The move by the consumer group is unlikely to affect Hutchison's timetable for the IPO of its Italian unit, but it has affected investor sentiment somewhat. The Commodore 64 is the computer that attracts demo programming.

This market isn't going to turn around until investors see the whites of the eyes of a profit recovery, and you're not likely to see that until the fourth quarter.

The fourth quarter capped a year of significant improvement for Teradyne. Throughout 2005, we had solid sequential growth in sales and bookings, strong fourth quarter profit performance in both our semiconductor test and non-semiconductor test businesses, and a much-improved balance sheet.

Investors were disappointed because they were expecting around 5 billion riyals of profit in the fourth quarter. They then decided that the drop was too steep.

The simple truth is the economy rebounded from the fourth quarter and was very strong in the first quarter as measured by (gross domestic product). Secondly, based on what we've heard from companies, profit margins should be good.

Cheung Kong is playing catch up with Hutchison. It's been a laggard over the past few weeks so investors are trying to narrow the gap with Hutchison.

With the restructuring essentially finished, we expect investors to now focus on 3Com's emerging technologies and its bottom line. We continue to look for the company to report a breakeven fourth quarter, although earnings per share could turn positive in the second quarter due to non-operating gains.

Overall, I think what it shows is the fourth quarter, despite good profit numbers, in terms of overall economic growth was not a very strong finish to the year.

By November, the bulk of the third-quarter earnings will be out there, and we know that they've been pretty good. But for stocks to go higher, we're going to need another catalyst. Expectations for a strong fourth quarter could do it, positive comments on the holiday season could do it, but really, I think it's going to be the economic news.

The fourth quarter wasn't good from a cost point of view either, but quite a few of those things were incidental costs. When you look at unit costs over the year, they went down quite fast, but unfortunately the yields went down a little bit faster.

Most who have been looking at the fourth quarter view that as a blip rather than a trend and expect a continued strong economy.
