Home Depot Earnings Beat Forecasts, Ups Guidance
Published: Tuesday, 14 Aug 2012
By: Reuters
Home Depot raised its fiscal-year earnings outlook on Tuesday as tight cost controls helped the world's largest home improvement chain offset sales weakness and beat Wall Street's profit estimates in the latest quarter.
The company's second quarter, which ended on July 29, is typically the most important selling period for home improvement chains, but unseasonably warm weather early in the year pulled some demand into the first quarter.
Net earnings rose to $1.53 billion, or $1.01 a share, in the quarter from $1.36 billion, or 86 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts on average were expecting a profit of 97 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Sales rose 1.7 percent to $20.57 billion, but missed the analysts' average estimate of $20.74 billion. Operating expenses fell 2.7 percent to $4.46 billion.
Shares of Home Depot [HD 54.48 1.66 (+3.14%) ] rose 1.3 percent to $53.50 in trading before the market opened.
Home Depot has benefited from its recent efforts to improve distribution and customer service. It has been quicker to cut costs than rival Lowe's [LOW 26.42 -0.13 (-0.49%) ] and in some cases has gotten a boost as housing markets have rebounded in regions where it has a heavy presence.
A return to more localized marketing and merchandising has also helped Home Depot.
In the second quarter, sales at stores open at least a year rose 2.1 percent globally, including a 2.6 percent increase in the United States.
While Home Depot's results exceeded his estimates, Janney Capital Markets analyst David Strasser said he was less optimistic about same-store sales growth in the back half of the year, citing consumer spending trends.
The company's operating performance remains impressive, but that is largely priced into the stock, Strasser said...
Yup! $640 is a possibility this week!

Futures Edge Higher After Retail Sales Report
Published: Tuesday, 14 Aug 2012
By: CNBC
U.S. stock index futures added to gains Tuesday following better-than-expected retail sales and after both French and German gross domestic product (GDP) data beat expectations.
Retail sales rose 0.8 percent in July, climbing for the first time in four months, according to the Commerce Department. Economists polled by Reuters had expected retail sales to gain 0.3 percent.
Producer prices gained 0.3 percent in July, the fastest pace in five months in July, according to the Labor Department. Analysts polled by Reuters expected the index to rise 0.2 percent. The increase was mainly driven by gains in consumer goods, with light trucks up 1.6 percent and pharmaceuticals up 0.9 percent. But energy prices fell 0.4 percent last month.
In Europe, France's GDP remained flat in the second quarter compared to the previous quarter; economists had expected a 0.1 percent decline, which would have tipped the country into recession. And German GDP rose 0.3 percent on the previous quarter, sending European shares higher. (Read More: The Secret to Germany's Economic Strength)...

Check your private message inbox in a few minutes regarding my take on LNET.
It'll probably go back up again. It's just that typical end of day shake. It looks like they could start picking up some steam in a few weeks for some nice gains (still researching).
