| theflyonthewall.com: | Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" | | Jim Cramer said Wednesday's markets gave investors so many ways to win and better yet, it gave it when investors were least expecting it. Whirlpool (WHR) was able to beat and raise estimates, all while most investors thought the housing market was still declining. He said that Boeing (BA) shares were able to trade higher, despite defense cutbacks in Washington. And Navistar (NAV) also ticked higher on news of its partnership with Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE). Then of course there was the announcement of the Facebook IPO, a deal that's so hot investors are even buying up shares of the underwriters. In technology, Cramer admitted that Amazon.com (AMZN) disappointed, but the markets also has a surprise beat from disk drive maker Seagate (STX), which rose 21% in a single day. Internationally, the markets received news that China's economic soft-landing is indeed happening, something that bodes well for companies levered to China like Caterpillar (CAT), Yum Brands (YUM) and Coach (COH), the latter two hitting 52-week highs Wednesday. Put all of these factors together, said Cramer, and its easy to see why he's so excited about the possibilities. Cramer opined on what to do with Amazon.com (AMZN) after the company's disappointing earnings. His conclusion? Don't do anything. Cramer said Amazon has proven to be a consistent winner on weakness, and selling shares after a sell-off has always been a terrible bet. He concluded that Amazon is a "wait-and-see" situation. For Wednesday's installment of his "Show Off Stocks" series, Cramer highlighted motorcycle legend Harley Davidson (HOG), which is seeing demand for its product grow at the fastest pace since 2005. The company is diversifying its customer base and now aggressively attracting younger riders, as well as women and minorities. Additionally, Harley is completing a major restructuring this year that will shave $325M a year off the company's cost structure. Trading at just 13.5x earnings with a 14.5% long-term growth rate, Cramer said shares of Harley Davidson are far too cheap. EXECUTIVE DECISION: Cramer checked in with David Demshur, chairman, president and CEO of Core Labs (CLB), an oil service technology company that Cramer said is the one to buy. Among the areas Demshur was most excited about were deep water drilling off of Brazil and Angola as well as projects in the Middle East and off the coast of Australia. He said Core Labs believes in long-term shareholder appreciation and will remain committed to the company's dividend and stock re-purchase program. Cramer continued his recommendation of Core Labs and again told investors to use the weakness which occurs after every earnings release to buy in.

Stock futures were higher throughout the pre-market trading session, leading to a higher open for the broader market. The string of domestic economic reports were generally in line but the one report which was above expectations, construction spending for the month of December, solidified the market’s move and added to its upward momentum. The market then moved in a fairly narrow range as it enjoyed its biggest move since January 3rd and added to January’s big gains... ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the ADP Employment Change report showed that 170,000 service sector jobs were created in January, versus the expected increase of 182,000. The ISM Manufacturing reading of 54.2 was generally in-line with expectations. Construction spending increased 1.5%, versus an expected increase of 0.5%. Also, PMI reports from Germany and China rose from the previous month and indicated expansion... MARKET NEWS: Amazon (AMZN) shares plunged after its revenues and guidance significantly disappointed investors... NYSE Euronext (NYX) and Deutsche Boerse (DBOEY) announced the termination of their merger agreement after the European Commission blocked the proposed tie-up...

Among the noteworthy losers were JDA Software (JDAS), down $5.06, or 17.17%, to $24.41, after the company reported better than expected results but also disclosed an SEC investigation into its revenue recognition and other financial reporting matters, and Unisys (UIS), down $2.96, or 14.12%, to $18.01, after its revenue failed to meet Street forecasts... INDICES: The Dow rose 83.55, or 0.66%, to 12,716.46; the Nasdaq gained 34.43, or 1.22%, to 2,848.27; and the S&P 500 added 11.67, or 0.89%, to 1,324.08. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | Earnings Preview: Analyst calls Amazon's Fire "third major mobile ecosystem" | | Amazon.com (AMZN) is expected to report Q4 earnings after the market close on Tuesday, January 31 with a conference call scheduled for 5:00 pm ET. Analysts are looking for EPS of 19c on revenue of $18.2B. The consensus range is (26c)-88c for EPS, and $17.62B-$19.43B for revenue, according to First Call. In October, Amazon forecast Q4 revenue $16.45B-$18.65B and guided approximately 130bps of favorable impact from foreign exchange. The company also guided Q4 operating income ($200M)-$250M, or between a 142% decline and a 47% decline. Earlier this month, the New York Post said Amazon was considering making its video-streaming a standalone, subscription-based service, a move that would place the company in direct competition with Netflix (NFLX). DigiTimes said ODM orders for the company's Kindle Fire were set to be cut by half to 3M units in Q1, according to sources in the supply chain. Additionally, the company's Zappos unit said a hacker may have accessed the personal information of up to 24M customers and the company's LOVEFiLM signed TV streaming deals with ITV, BBC Worldwide and Disney UK (DIS). As for quarterly results, Piper Jaffray believes eBay's (EBAY) quarter supports slight upside to the Q4 consensus revenue estimate for Amazon. Stifel Nicolas analyst Jordan Rohan lifted his estimate for the company's Q4 Fire sales to 6M units from 5M and believes that the Kindle and the Kindle Fire have effectively become the third major mobile ecosystem after Apple (AAPL) iOS and Google (GOOG) Android. :theflyonthewall.com |
