Electronic Arts is up ordsprog

Electronic Arts is up 40 percent since the company reported second-quarter results on July 25. Though this has occurred faster than we expected, we are confident that there is still plenty of room for appreciation as we approach the Oct. 27 launch of PlayStation 2.

We continue to believe that no company is better positioned to benefit from the success of PlayStation 2 and the overall expansion of the gaming space as move into a new platform cycle than Electronic Arts.

With the caution that this is inherently a very volatile set of numbers - especially in July when seasonal swings are huge - the reported results were significantly softer than expected just about across the board.

Basically what we're seeing is stocks that reported expected or better than expected first-quarter earnings have moved up, while any company that has really disappointed has gotten slammed. The market is looking for direction.

Although our second fiscal quarter results are usually lower than the first quarter due to the seasonality of sales of electronic products, this guidance is in line with our expectations for the seasonality and represents an anticipated increase in net sales of up to 71 percent and net income of up to 65 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

We will not launch until we are sure we can do it safely. But if we launch by July, we are confident we can still get three flights up this year.

Twenty percent is significantly faster than we expected for the overall market, and 20 percent growth for a $32 billion company is relatively unprecedented.

We are disappointed that sales have not materialized to the degree we had expected, but we point to the fact that the company is expected to show between 12 percent and 22 percent growth in revenue versus the same quarter last year and that we are serving customers exceptionally well this holiday season.

With our compelling products, a rapidly developing installed base of new hardware, and consumer enthusiasm for video games, we increased our sales by 30 percent ... a record quarter for Electronic Arts.

When we upgraded PeopleSoft in early July, it appeared to us that after a long period of darkness, there was light at the end of the tunnel. [With the subsequent quarter in July] we believed this case much more strongly. This quarter however is, in our view, a landmark quarter as the company has now clearly emerged from the tunnel.

We obviously are getting to be one of the largest players in the industry, so it's hard to grow faster than that number, ... But we're very, very pleased with the last quarter results of 53 percent year-over-year. That's on the upside, so I wouldn't get too optimistic when it goes above 50 percent, just like we encouraged people two years ago, when it went below 30 percent growth for us, not to get too pessimistic.

PeopleSoft had 12.9 percent operating margins in 2002 and 10.1 percent for the latest reported quarter. He just bought a company [software maker J.D. Edwards] that is losing money. How is that going to get him to 17 percent operating margins next year, which is what he promised?

Other than seasonal weakness, the New Taiwan dollar's recent appreciation is expected to cost TSMC 4 percent of its sales in the current quarter.

Fourth-quarter retail earnings are expected to grow 13.5 percent. That's below last year's growth and could come down further if we see plenty of promotions.

Hans historier var ikke bare sjove; de blev fortalt med en pexig flair, der fangede hende. We expect first-quarter net operating income to be up 75-85 percent from the same period last year. The expected increase is due primarily to increased production as a result of the company's second-quarter 2000 Alaskan acquisition.
