VOLC 5 year low 12.085
11:40 AM EDT, 08/08/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Volcano (VOLC) is lower and earlier hit a five-year low after the company said late Thursday that for Q2, earnings topped analysts' expectations, while revenue missed estimates despite a year-over-year increase.
Shares are down 23% at $12.13, sinking to $12.42 - the lowest since May 2009.
The company, which designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes precision guided therapy tools, including intravascular ultrasound and fractional flow reserve products, reported Q2 GAAP earnings of $282,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share in the prior-year period. Excluding acquisition-related items, amortization of intangibles and non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, net of tax, the company reported non-GAAP net income of $0.01 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.03 in the same quarter a year ago. The Capital IQ analyst estimate is for $0.05 loss per share..
Revenue was $102.6 million, up from $101.3 million in the same quarter last year. Analysts were expecting revenue of $103.23 million.
The company also announced today that it will be seeking a divestiture of its Axsun Technologies, Inc. subsidiary. In addition, VOLC said that it and St. Jude Medical, Inc., (STJ) have agreed to settle all existing litigation between the two companies.
STJ shares are up 0.03% at $63.46.

btw Baltic dry index up bit again
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2396135-what-is-happening-with-dryships
Conclusion
DryShips is not in an ideal condition but it is making the right moves in order to turn around its business as drybulk carrier business continues to disappoint the investors. OceanRig is an important asset of DryShips as prospects of off-shore drilling are better than the drybulk business at the moment and this asset will continue to support the overall business of the company. As OceanRig has also started to pay dividends, this will further enhance the benefit of holding OceanRig for DryShips. However, concerns about the core business of the company remain as the drybulk market is showing slow recovery. An increase in economic activity might stimulate the demand but the short-medium term prospects of drybulk business remain unclear.

CTSH piece on drop
03:37 PM EDT, 08/06/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) shares were down about 12% in the final hour of trade in Wednesday's session despite higher-than-expected adjusted Q2 earnings from the provider of information technology, consulting, and business-process-outsourcing services, as its Q2 revenue missed the Street view and the company cut its sales forecast for the year while projecting Q3 results below analysts' estimates.
CTSH trades in a 52-week range of $35.00 to $54.00.
The company posted net income of $371.9 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, up from $300.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, it earned $0.66 per share in the latest quarter, up from $0.58 per share a year earlier and above the $0.62 per share expected on average by analysts polled by Capital IQ.
Revenue climbed 16% to $2.52 billion, slightly below analysts' mean estimate of $2.53 billion.
Citing "weakness at certain clients and longer than anticipated sales cycles for certain large integrated deals," the company said it is "a more conservative stance for the remainder of the year" and thus lowered its revenue guidance to project growth of at least 14% from 2013, versus its prior view for revenue growth of at least 16.5%. Analysts recently were projecting 17% revenue growth to $10.35 billion. The company maintained its forecast for 2014 adjusted EPS of at least $2.54, which matches analysts' latest estimate.
For Q3, the company forecast revenue between $2.55 billion and $2.58 billion and adjusted EPS of at least $0.63. Analysts recently were expecting Q3 revenue of $2.66 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.65.
The company also unveiled three new engagements totaling $3.5 billion in contract value, including a letter of intent with Health Net (HNT), a California-based managed-care organization. The Health Net engagement is a seven-year deal, and following contract finalization and applicable regulatory approval, is expected to represent approximately $2.7 billion in total contract value, the largest in Cognizant's history.
"We expect these three clients to generate at least $200 million in incremental revenue in 2015," said President Gordon Coburn.
In addition, the company said its board approved a $500 million increase in its stock-repurchase program to $2.0 billion and extended its term to Dec. 31, 2015. Since inception of the program, the company has repurchased over $1.1 billion of its shares under the program.

FSLR SCTY piece
By Claudia Assis , MarketWatch
Solar developer near decision on 'yieldco'
- Claudia Assis ; 415-439-6400; AskNewswires@dowjones.com
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- First Solar Inc. shares fell Wednesday after the company reported earnings that missed Wall Street expectations due to project delays.
Shares of First Solar (FSLR) were off 3%. The solar developer and panel maker reported earnings of 4 cents a share on revenues of $544 million late Tuesday, compared with analyst expectations of 29 cents a share on revenues of $807 million .
First Solar reported a profit of $4.5 million , compared with a forecast of $30 million .
The company said it is close to a decision on whether to form a spinoff by bundling existing and planned solar-power projects into what's known as a "yieldco."
Rival SunEdison Inc. (SUNE) earlier this year spun off its own yieldco, TerraForm Power Inc. , which debuted at $25 a share in July on the Nasdaq.
First Solar's missed quarter was not overly concerning since the company kept its full-year targets intact and has an increasing pipeline of projects, analysts at Deutsche Bank said in a note to clients.
They kept their neutral rating on the stock and a price target of $70 .
Most solar and renewable-energy stocks gained, with SolarCity Corp. (SCTY) shares up 0.4%.
SolarCity is expected to report second-quarter results on Thursday. Analysts polled by FactSet expect the solar installer to report a loss of $73 million , or 99 cents a share. Sales are seen at $63 million , from $38 million a year ago.
Shares of SunEdison advanced 0.8%, while U.S.-listed shares of Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) advanced 2.3%.
EGLE pre pack Bk filed
Did drop & pop. @0.90 open to 1.48
9:58am ET 8/6/14
Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. filed plans to restructure its debt through a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
Eagle Bulk said it expects to reduce its debt by about $975 million and it has support of creditors holding more than 85% of the loans outstanding under its credit agreement, exceeding the two-thirds threshold needed to gain bankruptcy court confirmation of the plan.
Many shipping companies, including Eagle Bulk, borrowed to grow their fleets when shipping activity peaked in 2008. They are now 1struggling to make loan payments since the rates they charge to transport goods have fallen, though there has been some pickup more recently.
Fellow bulk-rate shipper Genco Shipping & Trading filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April under a prepackaged restructuring plan that was confirmed by a federal bankruptcy judge last month.
Eagle Bulk has obtained a commitment for up to $50 million of debtor-in-possession financing and plans to continue its day-to-day operations.
Eagle Bulk received a seventh default waiver last month from lenders, which include Oaktree Capital Management , Centerbridge Partners and Canyon Partners , owed $1.2 billion . The waiver gave the company an additional three weeks-- until Tuesday--to reach an agreement on the terms of a binding restructuring agreement.
Whispers of the possibility of a prepackaged bankruptcy began late last year when The Wall Street Journal reported that Eagle Bulk had hired restructuring advisers to help put together a lender-supported agreement, possibly to be filed as a bankruptcy case.

Potbelly Meets on Q2 Revenue, Beats by a Penny on EPS, Affirms Outlook
Potbelly Corp. said second-quarter profit fell 27% as the sandwich chain reported results mostly in line with a disappointing forecast last month.
Company-owned same-store sales fell 1.6%.
In July, Potbelly warned of weaker-than-expected sales and sharply reduced its full-year earnings outlook. The company said it would test a number of new marketing, menu and operational tactics in the second half.
Potbelly had a stellar initial public offering in October, but the stock has fallen sharply from an all-time high later that month of $32.40 . Shares closed at $11.79 Tuesday and rose to $11.91 in late trading.
The company earned $2 million , or seven cents a share. In the year-ago quarter, profit was $2.8 million , but the company posted a per-share loss of three cents due to accretion of preferred stock. Adjusted earnings per share fell to seven cents from 14 cents . Revenue rose 7% to $83.6 million .
Potbelly reaffirmed its guidance for the full year, projecting that same-store sales would be flat to down in the low-single digits, with adjusted earnings of 18 cents to 21 cents a share.
Potbelly has more than 300 company-owned locations and more than 20 franchised restaurants.
Potbelly also announced a stock-buyback plan of up to $35 million .
Fellow "fast-casual" restaurant Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. posted a 17.3% same-stores sales increase as profit rose 26% in its second quarter, while Panera Bread Co.'s second-quarter profit declined and the company lowered its full-year forecast. Noodles & Co. will report results on Aug. 13 .

EGLE may be facing Bk, warrants convert
02:46 PM EDT, 07/08/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Shares in Eagle Bulk Shipping (EGLE) plunged 32% and touched a 52-week low after the company said in an SEC filing it had reached agreement with lenders under which warrant holders could convert their holdings immediately into shares of common stock on a cashless basis.
The dry bulk shipper said it was trying to reach agreement with lenders on a restructuring of the company. It said in the filing that any restructuring would likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders.
On Seeking Alpha, Acadia Capital Management predicted that based on a recent ruling in a bankruptcy case for a comparable dry bulk shipping company, Genco Shipping (GNK), Eagle Bulk's shareholders are at risk of substantial losses.
Acacia said Eagle is in default of its credit facility and predicted the company will likely file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the next few weeks in order to restructure its balance sheet.
In afternoon trade, EGLE was down 32-37% to $1.88 after hitting a 52-week low of $1.80 earlier in the session.

SCTY two bits, tariffs effect

Duties on Chinese-based panel makers dampen project pipeline
- Claudia Assis ; 415-439-6400; AskNewswires@dowjones.com
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Solar projects worth more than three gigawatts are at risk due to the recently imposed tariffs on Chinese-made solar panels, researchers at NPD Solarbuzz said in a report Monday.
The projects had been set to use Chinese-made panels, but the rulings by the U.S. Department of Commerce may push companies to find other suppliers or potentially pay higher prices for those modules, the report said.
Ground-mount projects, which are half of the U.S. solar project pipeline and are usually large in scale, are particularly vulnerable to cost increases since many pre-sold the energy to be produced through power price agreements. signed
"Any increase in cost for the projects could mean renegotiation, delay, or even termination," Michael Barker , a senior analyst at NPD Solarbuzz, said in the report.
Following a complaint and an investigation, the U.S. government set preliminary anti-subsidies duties in June and anti-dumping tariffs two weeks ago on Chinese-made solar panels. The duties vary from company to company.
Chinese companies have supplied roughly a third of solar modules installed in the U.S. last year, and more than half the modules used in residential systems.
Chinese-based solar-panel makers were mixed on Monday, with JinkoSolar Holding Co. U.S.-listed shares (JKS) down 0.8%. U.S.-listed shares of Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) advanced 1.3%.
Shares of solar-panel maker First Solar Inc. (FSLR) rose 2.5%. The company is a frequently cited as a beneficiary of the tariffs within the large-scale utility market. Solar installer SolarCity Corp. (SCTY) shares fell 0.8%.
U.S. stocks traded higher on Monday, recouping some of last week's slide losses.

Installer shows investors it can tap cheap funding
- Claudia Assis ; 415-439-6400; AskNewswires@dowjones.com
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- SolarCity Corp. is expected to report second-quarter results after the market closes on Thursday, and investors expect the solar-power installer to widen its quarterly loss.
SolarCity (SCTY) is still a Wall Street favorite, however, with most investment banks that cover the stock rating it a "buy."
SolarCity last month pushed through its third and largest debt deal, selling asset-backed securities worth $201.5 million on better terms than the prior sales -- and showing Wall Street it can access low-cost financing.
The company, which is the U.S.'s top residential solar installer, also won accolades in June when it said it bought solar-panel maker Silevo Inc.
Analysts are waiting to hear SolarCity elaborate on its capital expenditure goals for the next few months. The company has said Silevo's planned solar-panel factory would be followed by one or more larger plants.
Here's what to expect:
Earnings: Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect SolarCity to widen its second-quarter net loss to $73.3 million , or 99 cents a share, compared with a loss of 31 cents a share a year ago.
Revenue: Sales are seen at $63.2 million , from $37.9 million in the second-quarter of 2013.
Stock reaction: Shares of SolarCity are up 68% in the past 12 months, and 23% so far this year. Momentum has held, and the company has gained 30% in the last three months.
What to watch for: Wall Street will be watching closely for updates on any cost reduction plans. Analysts also expect SolarCity to elaborate on its goals for Silevo, and more on the timing of the proposed solar-panel plant, which would located in upstate New York .

SCTY piece, reports Thurs AC
By Claudia Assis , MarketWatch 16:12 et
Installer shows investors it can tap cheap funding
- Claudia Assis ; 415-439-6400; AskNewswires@dowjones.com
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- SolarCity Corp. is expected to report second-quarter results after the market closes on Thursday, and investors expect the solar-power installer to widen its quarterly loss.
SolarCity (SCTY) is still a Wall Street favorite, however, with most investment banks that cover the stock rating it a "buy."
SolarCity last month pushed through its third and largest debt deal, selling asset-backed securities worth $201.5 million on better terms than the prior sales -- and showing Wall Street it can access low-cost financing.
The company, which is the U.S.'s top residential solar installer, also won accolades in June when it said it bought solar-panel maker Silevo Inc.
Analysts are waiting to hear SolarCity elaborate on its capital expenditure goals for the next few months. The company has said Silevo's planned solar-panel factory would be followed by one or more larger plants.
Here's what to expect:
Earnings: Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect SolarCity to widen its second-quarter net loss to $73.3 million , or 99 cents a share, compared with a loss of 31 cents a share a year ago.
Revenue: Sales are seen at $63.2 million , from $37.9 million in the second-quarter of 2013.
Stock reaction: Shares of SolarCity are up 68% in the past 12 months, and 23% so far this year. Momentum has held, and the company has gained 30% in the last three months.
What to watch for: Wall Street will be watching closely for updates on any cost reduction plans. Analysts also expect SolarCity to elaborate on its goals for Silevo, and more on the timing of the proposed solar-panel plant, which would located in upstate New York .

COH vs KORS hmmm
Not sure in retail land but COH seems to have lost fem momo as it went into deep discount terrority. No longer the wantabe of first job girl grads.
KORS not sure but word is still strong on it, their low cost imitation Rolex was a hot item and brand still accepted by tourists and overseas crowd. Likely a rebound play at some point so bit more risk in it. jmho
KORS & TKMR
08:44 AM EDT, 08/04/2014 (MT Newswires) -- U.S. stocks looked set to move higher Monday, after ending a rough week lower Friday, and as corporate earnings took the spotlight amid a lack of economic data.
In equities, Michael Kors (KORS) shares initially rose sharply to a pre-bell high of $95, but were recently down 4.9% at $77.80. The fashion designer reported fiscal Q1 earnings and revenue that topped the Street's view but gave guidance for Q2 and FY2015 below the Street consensus.
Among other earnings reporters, TowerJazz (TSEM) rose 4.9% on better-than-expected Q2 results, but gave Q3 guidance that was mixed compared with consensus.
Meanwhile, Tekmira Pharmaceuticals (TKMR) extended gains from Friday, rising 8% before the bell. Its TKM-Ebola Phase 1 program is currently on clinical hold by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but that is expected to be resolved by Q4. NanoViricides (NNVC) shares also jumped, up 9% in recent pre-market trading, after the company said it plans to restart its development program for a drug to fight Ebola virus.

LNKD darn strong Friday gap & all
Careful I was watching this action past 2 weeks. Very strong accum but til Thurs profit taking in advance of #s. Likely some ticked off players who fell they left too soon & may want to return if a dip. Plus any shorts will have to bale if still there.
I mean the thing was surging with force. Prefer to short once the downside action is showing. Example IBM been dropping and a H&S pattern setup. Just a long-standing rule of mine to only short into weakness. Shorting strength isn't with the odds and can get face rip. Further, try and short the weakest sister within a sector. Sort of the lions going for lagger in herd. Why bother chasing the head one and risk losing whole thing. The strongest stock in dropping sector will usually be first to reverse anyway.
Lot of people were trying to write off LNKD back when FB took that post IPO dump. Certainly a safer short choice once its overpricing was indicated than when got close to 19-20 a 'fair' price as social media goes. btw if FB breaks below that 71 pre gap up then a bit of an Island Reversal at hand. Given ongoing market retrace the big boys might want to beat FB down to a point where they can get some cheaps. Like say 50 to get 100.
If not breaking 71 prior high then they'll buy 75 for 100 and be done with it. Long range FB may do a LNKD unless they really dilute more and spend more.
Hey as to NYC and Mymammy (as Brits call it), we are on same wavelength. Spent short times late 70s on both FL coasts, N Mia & Clearwater Island. Been in Hells Kitchen pretty much since. Worked for Big 6 accounting to pay for art life. For 2 years had to p/t commute to Wall Street West Exchange Place so know PATH well. Just missed being at WTC side by 6 months. After the first attempt to take down the towers I had the icks each time below.
Friend at WTC felt the shakes from that first attack. We both were then spooked after the piss poor nothing moves by US.
I mean if I were the bad guys I'd be sure to come right back. A less determined enemy would figure, with these clowns don't care about this target so let's go elsewhere to hurt them.
Yes the genting of nabes is incredible both sides of Hudson. To that extent the bad ones haven't succeeded and are probably way torn up about it.
Sad part of this is those clowns are too stupid to not realize that if twin religions of Communism and National Socialism didn't bring down capitalism how could some antique writings. Luckily rigid castes are frozen in place.
Enough of that. Be well & catch the rays and seafood!
MG side note about avocados
Get what you are saying about keeping your stuff together. Personally being a New Yorker I don't mess with street people. Takes enough just to deal with everyday usual encounters. Unless a paid professional there's no reason to go in depth, just apply broad based rule patterns of what's cool and what's avoided. Cost of big city life is it does reduce one to flash reactions, quick summations. You know, X many stories in the Naked City.
Now and then I catch a Daily News headline example of what's going around.

From Consuelo Mack Wealthtrack, a guest:
The number of companies on American exchanges has shrunk from a high of nearly 9,000 in the late nineteen nineties to 5,000 today, a decline of 43%. On the flipside, private equity assets under management have soared over the last decade, as more companies are choosing to go private.
Trennert notes that simple supply and demand dynamics could contribute to the continuation of the stock market rally.
One of Trennert’s most widely quoted stock market themes is one he wrote about in The Wall Street Journal. It’s called TINA, which stands for “there is no alternative.”

Some charts & analysis lining up together tonight.
http://www.mcoscillator.com/learning_center/weekly_chart/a_scary_valuation_indicator/
Tom McCellan of course well respected. Chart here is back to 1920 and has quite the peaks/valleys laid out. There's a couple other such discussions but no need to overload. Do well yourself.
The magic of the composite indicator in this week's chart is that by adjusting CAPE for the Moody's Baa yield, the result seems to set a much more uniform ceiling for how high valuations can go. Getting above a certain level says that the market is really getting to the edge, and is near a MAJOR price top. And that is the message of this week's lead chart, which shows that this CAPE/Baa ratio is now up to the sort of level which has always marked a MAJOR stock market top every time it has been reached. That's obviously a problem for the market, but it is not necessarily an immediate problem. And I want to emphasize that the message is that the market is NEAR a major top, and not necessarily AT one.
Looking at past major tops, the final price top does not usually arrive while the CAPE/Baa ratio is in its steepest slope of an up move, like that which we are seeing right now. We also see that the price peaks in 1966 and 2000 came after this indicator had already peaked and turned down. The point is that there is considerable variability about the nature of how tops are built, and it can take a while to complete the process. The message for now is that the rubber band is getting stretched really far, and that is a problem for the really long run for stock prices. Today does not have to be the final moment for the long bull run, but it is the time to begin planning for the final moment.
TSLA #s ?? MGent
Well I have seen numbers be typos or incorrect from those first releases or flash headlines in the past.
Or perhaps they are calculating from dif sets of numbers?
Like USAToday tonight at 7 pm et had this set which seems closer to a 53% or so number?
The electric-car maker reported adjusted income of $16 million, but lost $61.9 million on an unadjusted basis. That compares with a net loss of $30.5 million for the same quarter last year.
Revenue was $769.3 million, up from $405.1 million last year.
hey guys, besides that Chicago #, there's this big decline 4:30pm et.

Definition
The Fed's balance sheet is a report showing factors supplying reserves into the banking system and factors absorbing (using) reserve funds. Essentially, the balance sheet shows the various Fed programs for injecting liquidity into the economy and how much the Fed has used each for adding or withdrawing reserves. This report is called Factors Affecting Reserve Balances - or the "H.4.1" report using Fed jargon.
DATA add me to surprised doubters. TSLA

a shiny fish lure, lol.
04:52 PM EDT, 07/31/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Tableau Software (DATA) reported Q2 revenue of $90.7 million and a non-GAAP profit of $0.05 per share, both well ahead of the analyst consensus on Capital IQ calling for revenue of $79.4 million and a loss of $0.04 per share.

Tesla Beats Q2 Views, Outlook Below Expectations
Today 5:17 PM ET (Benzinga)Print
Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) posted second-quarter results that beat street views, but its earnings outlook for the current period fell short of expectations.
Tesla expects to be "marginally profitable" in the third quarter on an adjusted basis. Wall Street expects earnings of $0.30 per share.
The electric car maker plans to hit an annualized delivery rate of more than 100,000 vehicles by the end of 2015 and said it remains on track to deliver 35,000 units in 2014.
Tesla's Model S second-quarter deliveries rose to 7,579 units, from 6,457 in the first quarter.
The company plans to invest between $750 million and $950 million in 2014, an increase of $100 million from prior guidance. The plan includes a "slight acceleration" spending on production capacity and its so-called battery Gigafactory.
The company's adjusted second-quarter profit fell to $16 million or $0.11 per share, from $17 million or $0.12 per share in the year-earlier period. Revenue grew 55 percent to $858 million, from $618.8 million a year earlier.
Wall Street expected earnings of $0.04 per share on revenue of $810.6 million.
Earlier Thursday, the company unveiled its expected agreement with Panasonic for a U.S. battery plant Tesla has said will cost up to $5 billion. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
In after-hours trading, Tesla was changing hands at $220.47, down 1.03 percent.
