AAPL sold 61.5 million iPhones in the March quarter, […]

The Market Cap model continues to recommend Mid Cap and the style model remains on a Large Cap Growth signal. The growth signal has now been in place for six months and the mid cap signal for five months. […]

There are no changes to the recommendations from Northlake’s Market Cap and Style models for March. Mid Cap and Large Cap Growth remain the favored themes. As a result, client positions held in the S&P 400 Mid Cap (MDY) and the Russell 1000 Growth (IWD) will be held at least another month. There was a […]

Liberty Media (LMCA/LMCK) reported an uneventful quarter. Not much of a surprise given all the restructuring activity in the past six months as the company split into two, separating its 28% stake in Charter Communications into newly formed Liberty Broadband (LBRDA/LBRDK). Northlake clients now own stock in both classes of stock at both companies. LMCA/LMCK […]
Comcast (CMCSK) reported another good quarter with mid single digit growth in revenue and operating cash flow and double digit gains in free cash flow. Leaving aside all the noise around net neutrality regulation and the regulatory review of the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger, CMCSK is executing very well on a consistent basis. Investors have […]
Liberty Global (LBTYK) faced a lot of headwinds in 2014 including slower than expected benefits of the acquisition of Virgin Media in the UK, a lengthy period with no buybacks awaiting the acquisition of Ziggo in the Netherlands, foreign currency weakness (100% of operations are in Europe, Chile, and Puerto Rico), and tough competitive conditions […]

CBS reported fourth quarter results largely in line with analyst estimates. After a tough year in 2014 when operating income fell and estimates declined steadily, reporting results merely as expected provided a sense of relief. Furthermore, management commentary on 2015 trends was confident and a little more positive than investors were anticipating. All of this […]

Activision Blizzard (ATVI) reported slightly better than expected holiday quarter results driven by good sell through of next generation video games. Along with reported results from competing video game publishers, it appears that the better than expected sales of new video game consoles in 2013 and 2014 are now driving sales of software.
