Analyst Update: Earnings Release, and Potential M&As

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

U.S. stocks tumbled on Thursday as Fed remained apprehensive about the interest rate outlook amid weaker than expected US first quarter economic data. The NASDAQ Composite was down 1.64%, to finish at 4941.42; the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 1.08%, to 17,840.52, and the S&P 500 ended 1.01% lower, at 2,085.51. Most importantly, the NASDAQ biotech index dropped 3.05% on Thursday and was down 8.1% in the past one week, led by disappointing earnings. European stocks gained on Thursday, supported by the strong euro and news of euro bloc's recovery from four consecutive months of deflation. Germany's DAX 30 rose 0.19%; France's CAC 40 jumped 0.14%, and the London's FTSE 100 closed 0.21% higher. Meanwhile, Asian markets mostly disappointed on Thursday. Japan's Nikkei, Australia's S&P ASX and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index all fell on Thursday.  

Kinder Morgan CEO Richard Kinder said on Thursday, April 23, 2015, that judging from the decline in oil and gas prices, M&A valuations should be much lower, reported The Street. He said that the multiples have not contracted on assets the way one would have expected them to, and asserted that the Company would not stretch beyond good discipline to make any acquisition.

Apple announced strong Q2 FY15 results on April 27, 2015. Net income for the quarter came in at $13.6 billion, or $2.33 a share, which represented a 33% rise in profits. Revenue rose 27% to $58 billion.

Ford Motor Company announced its Q1 FY15 results on April 28, 2015. Revenue, while matching analyst expectation, fell 5.6% year-on-year to $33.9 billion during the quarter. First-quarter automotive sales fell to $31.8 billion as Ford cut North American production by 7.6%.

On April 28, 2015, Coach Inc. announced its Q3 FY15 results. Net sales fell 15.5% YoY to $929.3 million. Total sales in North America, its biggest market, fell by 24% YoY to $493 million, marking the seventh straight quarterly decline in the North American market.

General Motors Company announced its Q1 FY15 results on April 23, 2015. Q1 FY15 net income attributable to common stockholders was $0.9 billion, or $0.56 per diluted share. In Q1 FY14, GM's net income attributable to common stockholders was $0.1 billion, or $0.06 per diluted share.
