Rogers Communications (RG) reported another very strong quarter, continuing a string of positive news that has led to a double in the stock over the past year. EPS in US dollars looks like 23 cents vs. expectations for 18 cents. Revenues appear to be inline at $2 billion. I am hesitant about those numbers due […]
I am having a hard time getting a read on expectations for 1Q07 earnings from Central European Media Enterprises (CETV). I expect very strong results driven by the Czech Republic and Slovakia but I don’t have much in the way of analyst reports to get a sense of where street expectations lie. Isn’t it amazing […]
Time Warner (TWC) reported slightly better than expected 1Q07 results highlighted by strong operating profits at AOL and Cable and better than expected performance against a tough comparison in Filmed Entertainment. The shares are reacting appropriately, up 2-3% so far. I think more upside remains with $23-24 being a legitimate target over the next few […]
Time Warner Cable (TWC) reported good 1Q07 results. Investors will cheer the solid performance at the company’s legacy cable systems and signs of improvement at newly acquired Adelphia systems. The cable business is very healthy for all companies providing a solid foundation for growth at TWC. TWC has the added benefit of bringing its newly […]
I would use strength in newspaper stocks away from Dow Jones (DJ) to take profits. The Wall Street Journal is a far different asset than typical newspapers, and the company is much further in diversifying from print publishing than other newspaper companies. DJ has potential buyers like News Corp. (NWS-A) or General Electric (GE). Who […]
Rogers Communications is expected to report 1Q07 EPS of 18 cents on revenues of $2.03 billion. Those figures appear to be in US dollars but the company will report in Canadian dollars so look for about 15% more on both in the press release. RG has been growing very rapidly over the past year thanks […]
Comcast (CMCSA/CMCSK) reported solid first-quarter earnings of 26 cents per share on revenue of $7.39 billion. These numbers were extremely close to consensus estimates and all financial and subscriber metrics. The figures did not provide the upside to consensus estimates that I and others were expecting, however, following very bullish comments from CEO Brian Roberts […]
Apple (AAPL) 2Q07 results were spectacular and the feared “even more conservative than usual guidance” failed to materialize. I think the shares should be higher and my only concern is technical in that the muted upside suggests the massive battleground that has become AAPL will continue. I was especially pleased with Mac sales which showed […]
Regal Entertainment (RGC) shares rose 4% following better than expected 1Q07 earnings. RGC was able to convert the strong 1Q box office into better margins and EBITDA which bodes very well for the next two quarters when the box office should be record breaking. The shares have now regained more than the $2 special dividend […]
NII Holdings (NIHD) 1Q07 numbers were virtually on top of my estimates across the board. Every financial and subscriber number on a corporate and country-by-country basis was right on target. Since my expectations were at the high end of the street estimates, this sets the stage for upside to current estimates later in the year. […]
