That comment should calm ordsprog

That comment should calm concerns that the first quarter could be down, and positions Best Buy for solid earnings per share improvements against the second and third quarters.

Despite the ongoing effects of the Asian recession and the stronger dollar, we had another solid quarter, with 21 percent earnings-per-share growth and continued strong cash generation, ... We remain comfortable with the consensus earnings estimate for 1998 and expect to see earnings per share increase by a further 15 percent in 1999.

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.

Our earnings performance in the fourth quarter met expectations with increased gross margins, lower costs and operational improvements. We delivered another quarter - and another year - of earnings growth.

Earnings for the fourth quarter have generally met or exceeded expectations. We've seen solid reports from a number of different industries, with strength not just in energy, as in previous quarters in 2005.

Microsoft has no comment on Intel, and is in the quiet period leading up to its first-quarter earnings. The company has issued no guidance on its financial results since it announced its fiscal fourth quarter earnings.

He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy. This was a solid quarter, with earnings per share up 20 percent and an acceleration of revenue growth relative to the first half of the year,

GDP leads earnings by two quarters. Earnings lead capital spending by two quarters. So GDP leads capital spending by four quarters. We shouldn't hear that things are getting better until the fourth quarter at the earliest,

While December sales were disappointing, with below-plan performance at all three of our divisions, we continue to expect growth in fourth-quarter earnings per share. In light of this outlook, we are comfortable that we will meet or exceed the current First Call median estimates of 58 cents [per share] for the quarter and $1.36 [per share] for the year.

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.

This exceptional third-quarter momentum, combined with our outlook for more modest earnings growth in the fourth quarter, reinforces our confidence in our ability to deliver $1.50, or more, in diluted earnings per share in this year's second half,

We're seeing a nice handful of earnings today. That is going to be the driver. The other driver, or the thing that's not going to hold us back this quarter, and I would argue has held us back the last three quarters, is the consensus is the Fed is done for the year, ... We don't have a credit tightening cycle to go through and we're seeing terrific earnings. So I would argue that the focus returns now to earnings growth, revenue growth, the strength of corporate America and not necessarily the macro-economic themes like monetary policy which have been on the forefront for the last couple of quarters.

The slower growth in revenues and continued pressure on margins will result in negative earnings comparison for at least the next two quarters, with fiscal 1998 earnings per share likely to be in the $2 to $2.15 range,

We are pleased with our first quarter financial results that demonstrate our success in the market and our focus to improve our financial performance. Earnings per share came in above the high end of the range we communicated in our mid-quarter update as a result of higher revenues and improved gross margins. We remain cautiously optimistic that capacity expansion in semiconductor manufacturing will continue in a rational manner, and we look forward to further improvements in our financial metrics as the year continues.

Despite the challenging environment, especially in the home loans business, we delivered solid performance, achieving 12 percent earnings per share growth for the quarter and 14 percent for the year.
