Börsipäev 14. jaanuar

Vaiksed päevad hakkavad börsil nüüd tasapisi läbi saama ning iga mööduva päevaga jõuame lähemale tulemuste hooajale. Järgmisel nädalal on tulemas juba mitmete oluliste ettevõtete tulemused, kuid täna õhtul pärast turu sulgemist näeme Inteli (INTC) kvartalinumbreid. Intelilt oodatakse ca $0.30list EPSi ja müügitulu ca $10.16 miljardit.

Makroandmete poole pealt avaldatakse täna kell 15.30 möödunud nädala esmaste tööötu abiraha taotlejate arv (ootus 436 000 - number vahemikus 400-450 tähendab reeglina umbkaudu, et töökohtade kaotamisi ja loomisi on umbes samapalju. Mida väiksem esmaste töötu abiraha taotlejate arv, seda parem uudis aktsiaturule). Kestvate töötu abiraha taotlejate arvult oodatakse langemist 4.75 miljonini. Detsembrikuu jaemüügilt oodatakse 0.5%list kasvu (ilma autodeta +0.3%). Kell 17.00 avaldatakse detsembrikuu ärivarude muutus, kus oodatakse varude ca 0.3%list kasvamist.

Marc Faber ei väsi välja toomast, miks USA on oma fiskaal- ja rahapoliitikaga hukule määratud - nõnda ka Bloombergi esmaspäevases intervjuus. Aktsiaturgudest juttu tehes on ta üha rohkem veendunud lähiaja korrektsioonis. Muuhulgas nendib Faber, et kui ta oleks nõus võtma suurt riski, panustaks ta praegu S&P 500 langusele. Sest ehkki turg näib uskuvat momentumi jätkumisse, juhib Faber tähelepanu teatud tehnoloogia- ja finantssektori aktsiatele, mille tagasihoidlikum sooritus viimastel kuudel ananb vihje turu suurenenud nõrkusest. Teiseks ja kolmandaks pole tema sõnul aktsiaturgudele minevikus tavaliselt nulliga lõppevad ja Kongressi valimise aastad soodsalt mõjunud.

Citigroup usub, et aastal 2011 ECB intressimäärade kallale ei lähe - link siin.

Täna kell 14.45 avalikustab Euroopa Keskpank intressimääraotsuse ning kell 15.30 korraldatakse pressikonverents, kus Trichet ilmselt nendib, et praegune laenumäär on majanduskeskkonnale sobilik, ega vihja madalate inflatsiooniootuste tõttu intresside võimalikku tõstmist lähitulevikus.

Teema, mis on ka keskpanga liikmete esinemistes viimasel ajal üha tugevamalt märkimist leidnud, on Kreeka fiskaalne ebastabiilsus. Sellele lisaks viitas Euroopa Komisjon hiljuti oma raportis riigi ebausaldatavale statistikale, mis võib viia eelmiste aastate defitsiidi- ja võlanäitajate revideerimiseni. Näis, kas karmikäelisema hoiaku võtab oma kommentaarides ka Trichet.

Peale õhtuseid INTC tulemusi on ka finantssektorist tulemas tulemuste avalöök. Homme hommikul Eesti aja järgi kell 14:00 avaldab kvartalitulemused ka JPM, mis teeb ühtlasi sissejuhatuse finantssektori viimase kvartali tegemistele.

Kutsume kindlasti kõiki julgelt 2010. aasta üheksa erineva näitaja prognoosivõistlusele - aega kuni esmaspäevani oma numbrid kirja panna - link vastavale foorumile siin.

Globaalne arvutimüük on olnud tugev:

Global PC market leaps back to double-digit growth in the fourth quarter, led by a record quarter in the U.S., according to IDC

Led by a holiday season featuring price cuts of unprecedented duration, the U.S. PC market established a new record of nearly 20.7 million units shipped in the fourth quarter of 2009 (4Q09), resulting in year-on-year growth of 24%. Other regions also experienced solid growth, particularly emerging markets in Asia/Pacific and Latin America, leading the global market to 15.2% year-on-year growth for the quarter. According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker, this marked the first quarter of double-digit volume growth since 3Q08. The fourth quarter results cap a strong second half of 2009, further cementing signs of a market revival and ending the year with year-on-year growth of 2.3%. In addition to the continuation of price declines throughout the year, other factors were in play for the fourth quarter. Following a stream of improving economic indicators which began in 3Q09, a release of pent-up demand was evident as buyers focused on a vast array of value-oriented notebooks that dominated the channel landscape in the holiday season.
Ootustele vastavalt jättis ECB intressimäära 1.0% peale. Konverentsikõne, nagu erko juba kirjutas, toimub kell 15.30.

Ladenburg Thalmann initiates Bank of America (BAC), JP Morgan (JPM), and Wells Fargo (WFC) with Buy ratings. Firm says their positive view reflects their expectation that the worst of the financial crisis is past, and despite several overhanging challenges in 2010, the big banks have strengthened balance sheets, businesses and managements and are positioned to capitalize on profitable growth opportunities as they emerge. Firm expects positive momentum to be established soon and a return to normalized earnings on a run-rate basis should be achieved by 2012 (briefing).

Bank of America (BAC) sai meie poolt eile samuti ostusoovituse & pikemalt saab ettevõttega tutvuda Pro all.

Detsembri jaemüük kehv:

December Retail Sales -0.3% vs +0.5% consensus, prior revised to +1.8% from +1.3%

December Retail Sales ex-auto -0.2% vs +0.3% consensus, prior revised to +1.9% from +1.2%

Siiani on räägitud, et jõulumüük ikka korralik olnud, kuid tundub, et kõrge tööpuudus, suur võlakoormus & külmad ilmad hoidsid kokkuvõttes detsembris tarbijaid poodidest veel eemal.

Esmased töötu abiraha taotlused vastavad suht ootustele, mis näitab, et ilmselt suuri erinevusi möödunud nädalal töökohtade loomises & kadumises ei olnud:

Initial Claims 444K vs 437K consensus, prior revised to 433K from 434K

Continuing Claims falls to 4.596 mln from 4.807 mln; 4.75 mln consensus

Päris huvitav statement Fitch poolt.

Morgan Stanley kommenteerib väga positiivselt Oracle Corpi (ORCL) aktsiat & tõstab hinnasihi 29 dollari pealt 31 dollarile & lisab Oracle parimate ideed hulka:

Notable Callsis kolm katalüsaatorit välja toodud (loe pikemalt siit): 1) imminent closure on the Sun acq., whose benefits are being largely overlooked, 2) a return to organic growth in Oracle’s core as early as Q3, and 3) positive revisions. Morgan Stanley's FY11 EPS of $1.94 is well above cons. of $1.72, which does not reflect a) accretion from Sun, and strong execution should enable ORCL to meet/exceed its $0.15 target, and b) the level of improvement in the core bus. that they anticipate. With ORCL trading at 12X our CY11 EPS – a sub hardware multiple on software EPS and 25% below large-cap tech – they should see multiple expansion with accelerating growth and pos. revisions, driving the stock to firm's $31 PT based on 15x CY11 EPS of $2.09.

Oracle kaupleb eelturul +2.1% @ $25.27.

Here Come Earnings

Before everything else, getting ready is the secret to success.
-- Henry Ford

After eight days of trading, 2010 is looking much like 2009. We have had straight-up action on declining volume, aggressive dip-buying on very shallow pullbacks and quick recoveries just when it looked like we were ready to roll over. This very buoyant action on Wall Street in the face of a tepid economic recovery on Main Street confused many investors for much of 2009. Many are still confused by the strength of the market, but the sentiment polls now show that the pessimists have stopped fighting the trend and have largely capitulated.

In fact, the most worrisome thing about this market is the very high level of complacency. There is very little fear that the market is going to pull back, and that makes for very dangerous conditions as quarterly earnings start to roll out. Now is the time to become mentally prepared for earnings season.

The market acted well the last two quarters as earnings were reported, but the level of skepticism about the health of the economy was much higher six months ago. Investors were poorly positioned for strong earnings, and that's why we went almost straight up back in July when second-quarter earnings were reported.

We had a positive reaction again in November as third-quarter earnings were reported, but the pace of the advance has slowed. We continue to wedge slowly higher on declining volume and we still have days like Wednesday when the bears are run over by the frisky buyers, but after a tremendous rally over the last nine months, the action is becoming more mixed.

And that is the setup as Intel (INTC) and JPMorgan (JPM) kick off earnings season. Most of the important earnings reports will hit over the next two weeks, and they will determine the character of the market action. There have been few earnings warnings so far and the market seems to be quite optimistic that numbers will meet expectations, but we don't have much of a "wall of worry" to climb anymore and we're set up for a "sell the news" reaction.

Intel has really set the stage for earnings season the last two quarters and will probably do so again tonight when it reports. Back in July, Intel surprised the market with a very strong report and drove everything straight up. In October, Intel surprised the market once again and gapped up initially but then traded down for several weeks. We had a number of stocks that were sold on good earnings news, but the broad market shrugged off those responses and continued to act well.

We need to be ready for some very interesting action starting after the close today. This morning we have a little weakness on news reports that the Obama administration is ready to propose a "financial crisis responsibility fee" on some of the big banks. There are doubts that such a bill will pass the Senate, but it goes to show how politicians are pandering to populist anger about bonuses and the recent success on Wall Street.

Plenty of stocks are acting well and the bears still look quite toothless, but earnings season can be full of land mines -- stay extremely nimble and vigilant as the news is digested.

ktammin,

Küsisid eilses börsipäeva foorumis Vital Imagesi (VTAL) tõusu kohta, mis sai teisipäeva hilistel tundidel alguse ja jätkus terve eilse päeva. Põhjus selles peitub Craig-Hallumi poolt 12. jaanuari õhtutundidel antud ostusoovituses ja $18lises hinnasihis. Kuna ettevõtte osas pole just kuigi palju optimiste, on selline asi tõsiseks ostukatalüsaatoriks.
