Bear Stearns is out this morning with a detailed new report on Apple. Bear is not changing its buy rating or earnings estimates. Instead, the report lays out Apple’s growth profile focusing on four areas: Macs, iPods, Apple TV, and iPhone. The overall theme is that Apple is not a one product company but rather […]

Following several sluggish weeks, the box office found some traction this weekend as several new releases exceeded expectations leading to an 18% gain vs. the holiday weekend a year ago. Based on a January 1st start to the year, the box office is presently down 1.5% vs. 2006. Regal Entertainment (RGC) started their quarter on […]

Rogers Communications (RG) reported very strong 4Q06 results. Wireless was the star performer with margin expansion exceeding analyst estimates. The Cable and Media divisions also performed well with modest beats on both revenues and EBITDA. EPS look to be way ahead of expectations at 28 cents vs. an estimate of 11 cents but RG trades […]
Rogers Communications (RG) preannounced solid subscriber results that should be supportive of a good quarter when the company reports full EPS after the close on Thursday. There aren’t many estimates on RG and there could be some confusion relating to U.S vs. Canadian dollar numbers but with those caveats look for EPS of 9-11 cents […]
One of the comparables I used in my thus far successful purchase of NII Holdings (NIHD) was Millicom International (MICC). NIHD offers wireless telephone service in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Chile using Nextel’s iDEN technology. MICC uses traditional GSM technology in markets it serves in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. What […]

Lionsgate (LGF) reported a good quarter. EPs of 19 cents matched estimates, while revenues of $255 million did not fall materially short of the $258 million consensus. Free cash flow of $50 million was very strong. Management opened the conference call by stating it was raising guidance to revenues of $950 million and free cash […]
Tribune (TRB) reported slightly better than expected 4Q06 earnings with adjusted EPS coming in at 65 cents against a consensus estimate of 61 cents. Revenues also come in ahead of expectations at $1.47 billion vs. a consensus estimate of $1.43. 4Q06 contained an extra week compared to 4Q05 so it is possible some of the […]

Disney (DIS) reported much better than expected 1Q07 earnings with EPS coming in at 50 cents against a consensus estimate of 39 cents. Revenues were also better than expected at $9.7 billion vs. an estimate of $9.5 billion. I don’t see any unusual items that would impact the 50 cent figure so this looks like […]
Technical difficulties prevented me from listening to the DirecTV (DTV) 4Q06 conference call. The following comments are based upon the press release and initial analyst comments made before the call started. I expected a strong quarter from DTV but the numbers at the subscriber level, where it really matters for the stock price, were much […]
Box office comparisons should ease this coming weekend with the fourth installment in the very popular Hannibal Lecter series but the big news this week for Regal Entertainment (RGC) will be the company’s 4Q06 earnings report and the likely IPO of its 41% owned joint venture, National Cinemedia (NCMI). Year to date the box office […]
