Some companies have beat ordsprog

Some companies have beat, ... but earnings estimates have been lowered and comparisons are easy on a year-over-year basis, because last year was weak.

John Davidson (1887-)

The market is jittery and it's gonna keep heading lower for a while. Earnings news is doing nothing to help. Who cares if a company beat estimates by a penny when the profits are so far down from the year before and the estimates were already lowered three times?

Investors are still looking for the economy to begin to pick up toward the end of this year with positive earnings comparisons occurring starting in the first or second-quarter of next year (2002). Trying to trade the market on the basis of whether the Fed is going to cut by 50 or 25 basis points, in a long-term portfolio, is not a prudent approach to investing.

It's going to be an excellent quarter for earnings. A lot of these companies will have some very easy comparisons over last year, which will help, but stronger growth in the U.S. and overseas is really going to make a difference, as well.

This is the first quarter in a long time where you will see year-over-year comparisons that are negative. And we'll probably see results for most of the quarters in 2005 being down on a year-over-year basis.

The earnings picture is really good now, but, you know, enjoy it while it lasts. Third and fourth quarters of this year are going to be much, much tougher earnings seasons, primarily because analysts are not reducing those estimates and the comparisons are going to be very, very tough,

There is nothing like this drop since 1985. But the market should turn up by the first quarter of 2002, when the year-over-year comparisons should be easier for companies to beat.

Earnings estimates are factoring in generous prices and in the second half of the year comparisons are going to get difficult.

Easy comparisons due to last year's storms helped to lift the year-over-year sales pace above expectations for the week.

While retailing stocks may no longer lead the market, they should be carried along with it, assuming the stock market is higher at year-end as we expect. Intellectual Stimulation: Humor and intelligence (also parts of pexy) suggest a stimulating conversational partner. Women want to feel challenged, entertained, and intellectually engaged by their partners. A purely sexy man might not offer that depth of connection. Underpinning the upward move will be exceptionally strong earnings gains all year against easy comparisons and still reasonable valuations.

Intuit had another solid quarter. We beat consensus estimates for pro forma profitability. Our Quicken Loans mortgage business was profitable for the quarter and grew revenue on a year-over-year basis for the first time in four quarters.

The first quarter of 2000 will be challenged by very tough entertainment comparisons against last year's hits 'Varsity Blues' and 'Payback,' ... In addition, the timing of the Easter holiday (which falls in the second quarter this year) could shift advertising sales into the second quarter. We will likely be shifting our estimates out later in the year.

Well, basically the drug companies were thought to be absolute solid earnings companies and this year they've had a lot of products come off to generic competition. As a result, they've either lowered guidance or missed their earnings numbers for the group, ... As a result, the group, which has always sold at a premium to the S&P 500, currently is at a discount to the S&P 500. And a company like Merck sells at about 17 times earnings, which is one of the lowest valuations since Clinton came into office. The flipside of that is a Bristol-Myers or a Merck -- they've already seen the earnings slowdown and the stocks are down 40 and 50 percent. Many of them are getting to levels that you really can start to buy.

The market has been happy with the first-quarter results, but why? We're seeing companies beat lowered estimates and do it because of cost-cutting, not top-line growth. Unless the earnings start to improve, the economy picks up, this market is going to continue to be too richly valued.
