Analyst Update: Quarterly Earnings, Outlook and Acquisitions
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
The U.S. stocks finished lower on Friday as investor sentiments, which were positive after strong jobs report, turned jittery about the risky assets again due to fresh concerns about Greece. The worries flashed after S&P downgraded Greece's long-term sovereign debt rating from B to B-minus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 both fell 0.3% to close at 17,824.29 and 2,055.47, respectively. Whereas, the tech-heavy index Nasdaq Composite slid 0.4% to close at 4,744.40. However, despite Friday's slump in trading, the U.S. stock markets registered their best week in the past two years driven by investor optimism amid rising oil prices. In Europe, stocks dipped lower as momentum expected out of favorable U.S. data was offset by concerns surrounding the future of Greece and its bailout program. Asian markets ended mostly higher due to increased risk sentiments riding on the back of solid gain in the U.S. equities overnight and stabilizing crude oil price.
Shares of the top-tier global aerospace, defense and information solutions provider - Exelis Inc (Exelis) skyrocketed 36.25% to close at $24.13 on Friday, after the Company confirmed that it has agreed to be acquired by Harris Corporation in a cash and stock deal. On the same day, the Company also informed that it will release its Q4 2014 and full-year 2014 financial results on February 27, 2015. Continue reading about Exelis' new journey with Harris in our research report.
Shares of Twitter Inc (Twitter) recorded a significant increase of 16.36% on Friday to close at $48.01 following record Q4 2014 and full-year 2014 financial results, announced in the post market hours a day before. Twitter's performance exceeded Wall Street's Q4 2014 profit and revenue targets. Further, the Company expects Q1 2015 revenue to range between $440 million to $450 million, while analysts expected a target announcement of $449.7 million. Read more about Twitter's fourth quarter performance and its outlook for 2015 in our exclusive research report.
Cambrex Corporation jumped to a new high after the Company exceeded analyst expectations for Q4 2014 earnings by a huge margin. Adjusted income from continuing operations (adj. income) came in at $0.64 per share, way above Zack's forecasted EPS of $0.50. The results announced on the morning of February 6, 2015, led to a sharp opening in share prices, which eventually closed at $30.01 - a gain of nearly 28% over the last closing on above average volume. To continue reading about the quarterly performance, visit our research report on Cambrex.
Shares of CME Group Inc jumped 3.71% on the last close after the Company reported better-than-expected fourth quarter 2014 results on February 5, 2015. The world's largest futures-market operator registered second highest quarterly revenue for the period, with diluted earnings per share increasing more than 50% as trading volume increased. To know more about the financial results, read our research report on CME Group.
Harris Corporation's second quarter 2015 results beat market expectations. The Company also raised its 2015 guidance for income from continuing operations. Shares were up 9.63% on the last close.
