Sony Ericsson, the mobile phone-making joint venture between Sony Corp and Ericsson AB said Wednesday that its first-quarter net profit fell 48% to 133 million euros ($213 million), as sales fell 8% to 2.7 billion euros. The group said sales were hit by slowing market growth in mid-to-high end phones, which reduced the average selling price to 121 euros from 134 euros. In addition, profit was impacted by higher research and development costs. The group said pretax profit was 193 million euros, which was still toward the top end of the 150 million euro to 200 million euro range it announced in March. The group's market share fell one percentage point from the end of 2007 to 8% and it said it's predicting the global handset market will grow 10% in 2008.
Bloombergi andmetel on ECB ametnikud tõstmas intressimäärade tõstmise tõenäosust ohjeldamaks 16 aasta kõrgeimale tasemele tõusnud inflatsioonimäära. Paljud majandusanalüütikud olid seisukohal, et eruotsoon jälgib majanduskasvu alalhoidmiseks USA intressimäärade poliitikat langetades ka eurotsoonis intressimäärasid, kuid EUR/USD suhe, tõusev nafta ja teiste toorainete hinnad on ametnike meelt muutmas.
Inflatsioon oma kõige hirmsamas vormis. Austraalia inflatsioon viimase 7 aasta kõrgeimail tasemel 4.2% peal ning koos sellega tõusevad ka tõenäosused, et sealne Keskpank on mais intressimäärasid tänase 7.25% pealt veelgi ülespoole nihutamas. Üks artikkel selle kohta ka Bloombergist.
Kas Sa siis pole kuulnud? Robert Mugabe dekreediga tühistati Zimbabves inflatsioon 1185% aastas ja uueks seaduslikuks inflatsiooninumbriks sai 1%. Statistikaametnike on juba karistatud, hindu tõstvaid kaupmehi ootab samuti vanglakaristus ...
Kristjan, eks naerunägu käib ikka kõigega kaasas. Head või halvad uudised :)
Aga üle 4%line inflatsioon arenenud maailmamajanduse suurriigi jaoks on ikka palju küll. Kui ma õieti mäletan, siis sealse keskpanga soovitud vahemik on 2% kuni 3%.
Paneksin siia ühe kommentaari YHOO kohta eile õhtusest RealMoney'st. Ilu on vaataja silmades, aga David Sterman lausa õhkub negatiivsusest MSFT-YHOO diili osas:
"On a core basis, Yahoo! earned $0.11 a share. With business moving towards maturity, it's fair to start to think about whether Yahoo! is even worth the price Microsoft is offering. After all, the annualized EPS translates to $0.45-0.50 in EPS. Even if annualized EPS rebounds to $0.75, the stock is likely worth 30-40X that figure, or about $20-25."
ma nii igaks juhuks panen ette, et kui need innukad praktikandid suvel jälle LHV's pinki nühivad, siis peaks nad kohustuslikus korras endale (koos pildiga muidugi*!) siin foorumites kommenteerimise õiguse ja KOHUSTUSE saama, et nad tagasiside vormis ka midagi õpiksid ja muidu kuivapoolseks kiskuvates foorumites jälle rohkem nalja saaks :-)
Joeli jt. suhtes absoluutselt no offence muuseas! ----- *edaspidi soovitatav termin foorumis: "pildiga pärakas"
To kristjan: Midagi nii julma ei oleks küll oodanud - noor ja sinisilmne organism foorumi verekoerte ette visata. Samas finantsmaailm ongi karm ja ehk tõesti hea mõte valusa eluga juba maast madalast harjuda.
Aga Stefanile ka minu lugupidamine - vastuvoolu ujumine üks kord on julgustükk, teine kord tundub see enesetapuna, kolmas kord ... siis ehk hakkavad inimesed ka lugu pidama ja jutule tähelepanu pöörama.
Ambac Financiali (ABK) poolt on äsja avaldatud väga koledad tulemused:
Reports Q1 (Mar) loss of $6.93 per share, excluding non-recurring items, $5.42 worse than the First Call consensus of ($1.51). Reports non-cash, mark-to-market losses on credit derivative exposures amounting to $1,725.2 mln. Reports loss provision on Ambac's financial guarantee direct exposures to mortgage-related securities which amounted to $1,042.8 mln. "The housing market crisis continues to disrupt the global credit markets and our credit derivatives and direct mortgage portfolios were severely impacted once again. While we realize that these are disappointing credit results, we continue to believe that the capital raise and strategic business actions taken during the quarter will enable us to get beyond this credit market. The capital that we raised during the quarter in the midst of a very difficult market plus capital generated from the reduction in net par exposure helped bring our claims-paying resources to approximately $16.0 billion as of March 31, 2008. We currently exceed S&P's AAA target level of capital by a comfortable margin and we expect to meet our goal of exceeding Moody's Aaa target level of capital in the second quarter. Importantly, we generated positive operating cash flow during the quarter."securities within the financial services investment portfolio.
