9:18am Monday, October 8, 2012: PC sector trading for scrap value, but patient investors required - Wall Street All-Stars» Brian Gilmartin
The following is republished from Brian Gilmartin’s Fundamentalis blog on October 4, 2012 While perusing our internal valuation spreadsheets this past week, it is hard to believe some of these valuations on the PC-related names like Intel (INTC), Microsoft (MSFT), Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). Talk about cheap, and as I listen to the fat-box and read the [...]

11:30am Friday, July 6, 2012: The Quarterly “Bump” in Earnings Estimates - Wall Street All-Stars» Brian Gilmartin
Although it is tough to recognize in a market where the market p/e continually compresses, in my opinion there is an upward bias to corporate earnings estimates, whether it be to the fundamental nature of capitalism (profit maximation, etc.) or perhaps due to the seemingly optimistic outlook for their coverage, on the part of most [...]

10:06am Monday, March 12, 2012: S&P 500 corporate earnings update – stable is the watchword - Wall Street All-Stars» Brian Gilmartin
We read a story over the weekend where one blogger was “alarmed” at the trend in corporate earnings, but this same writer has had it wrong in terms of his conclusions about S&P 500 earnings trends since the end of the recession in 2009. The “forward 4-quarter earnings estimate” for the S&P 500 as of [...]

2:50pm Monday, March 5, 2012: S&P 500 corporate earnings update – steady as she goes - Wall Street All-Stars» Brian Gilmartin
We reviewed the ThonmsonReuters weekly S&P 500 corporate earnings missive over the weekend, and found the “forward 4-quarter” earnings estimate of $105.53, consistent with the last month’s estimates as the forward estimate has remained relatively flat in 2012. At Friday’s close, the S&P 500 was trading at 13(x) that forward 4-quarter estimate. Corporate earnings have [...]

1:17pm Tuesday, February 21, 2012: Dell reports tonight / Hewlett-Packard tomorrow - Wall Street All-Stars» Brian Gilmartin
Dell reports tonight and HPQ tomorrow morning, so we’ll shortly hear from the top largest PC makers left standing after the devastation of Apple’s reengineering the business. There is a lot of similarities between the two companies: both are considered value stocks, both have great CEO’s (one that founded the company), both companies are trying to [...]
