14:13 EDT	HPQ	Earnings Preview: Hewlett-Packard shares up more than 20% since Q1 report Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is set to report Q2 earnings after the market close on Wednesday, May 22, with a conference call scheduled for 5:00 pm ET. Hewlett-Packard is an IT company that provides hardware, software, and business and enterprise solutions. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of 81c on revenue of $28.12B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 77c-83c on revenue of $27.01B-$29B. LAST QUARTER: HP reported Q1 EPS of 82c against estimates for 71c on revenue of $28.4B against estimates for $27.79B. HP said it sees Q2 EPS 80c-82c against then estimates for 77c. HP also reiterated its FY13 EPS view of $3.40-$3.60. In its Q1 earnings release, the company said personal systems revenue fell 8%, while consumer revenue fell 13%. On its Q1 earnings conference call, CEO Meg Whitman said the company's restructuring and turnaround plan was on track, but said the turnaround would not be linear. Whitman also said the company expects its personal systems revenue to decline at a faster rate than it did in Q1. On April 4, the company announced its chairman, Raymond Lane, would be stepping down, while also announcing that its independent director role would be eliminated. On April 10, IDC said worldwide PC shipments totaled 76.3M units in Q1, down 13.9% year-over-year, the largest decline since IDC began tracking global PC sales in 1994. On April 24, in an appearance on CNBC, noted short-seller Jim Chanos said he has been adding to his short position in HP. STREET RESEARCH: Analyst commentary since HP's Q1 report has been mixed, with the stock receiving an upgrade to Neutral from Sell at UBS the day after its Q1 report. On March 18, HP was upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley with a $27 price target, with the firm saying potential upside to free cash flow guidance could lead to aggressive buybacks and dividends. On April 2, Goldman downgraded the stock to Sell from Neutral with a $16 price target, saying incremental weakness in PC's, enterprise hardware, services, and printing will offset restructuring efforts. Citi also reiterated its Sell rating on HP following IDC's release of Q1 global PC shipments that showed a 13.9% decline. Last week, Cleveland Research said its estimates for HP remain below the Street, with the firm recommending investors remain on the sidelines. PRICE ACTION: Since the first day of trading following its Q1 report, shares of HP have gained more than 23.5%. Following HP's Q1 report, its shares jumped 12.28%, to $19.20, and shares closed as high as $23.84 in late March. In afternoon trading ahead of its Q2 report, shares of HP are unchanged at $21.18.

10:42 EDT	GOOG	Google tests support at $900, levels to watch The shares have had an amazing run-up over the last month, gaining nearly 14% in the process. Today, support at the $900 level is being tested with shares having broken that level to reach $897.61 and then bouncing slightly back above $900. If the stock can close back above $900 today, it will have passed the first test of support at this area. If it fails to do so, it could give bears in the stock an opportunity to sell and chase out longs in the name. First support today is at the session low at $897.61. Resistance is at $903.87.

16:55 EDT	DELL	S&P lowers Dell ratings to 'BBB' from 'A-', remains on watch negative Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on Dell to 'BBB' from 'A-', and its commercial paper rating to 'A-2' from 'A-1'. All ratings remain on CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on Feb. 5. The initial CreditWatch listing reflected S&P's assessment that the $24.4B going private transaction, which includes a substantial portion of debt financing, will materially degrade Dell's financial risk profile, which S&P currently view as modest. Although Carl Icahn submitted a non-binding alternative acquisition proposal, the Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners LBO proposal remains the only transaction that has been approved by Dell's board of directors. S&P's review of the LBO transaction terms and the company's ownership, business and financial strategy may also result in a downward revision of its assessment of Dell's business risk profile.

13:58 EDT	DELL	Earnings Preview: Dell facing uncertainty about going private ahead of Q1 report Dell (DELL) is set to report Q1 earnings after the market close on Thursday, May 16, with a conference call scheduled for 4:45 pm ET. Dell is a global IT company that operates enterprise, business, and consumer segments. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of 35c on revenue of $13.52B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 28c-42c on revenue of $12.6B-$14.22B. A report by Dow Jones earlier this week said Dell will report non-GAAP EPS of 20c on revenue of about $14B. LAST QUARTER: Dell reported Q4 adjusted EPS of 40c against consensus for 39c on revenue of $14.3B against estimates for $14.12B. On its Q4 earnings conference call, the company said it expects continued margin pressure and market competitiveness in 2013. GO-PRIVATE NEWS: On February 5, Dell officially announced that it had agreed to be taken private for $13.65 per share by a consortium lead by Silver Lake. On March 25, Dell announced it had received two alternative proposals during its go-shop process, which began following its February 5 announcement. These proposals included a $14.25 per share offer from Blackstone (BX), and a $15 per share offer from Carl Icahn and affiliated funds, including Icahn Enterprises (IEP). On April 19, Dell announced that Blackstone decided not to submit a bid for the company. Last Friday, Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management, which collectively hold about a 13% stake in Dell, submitted an alternative proposal to Dell's board. The Icahn and Southeastern proposal would allow Dell shareholders to receive a $12 per share cash distribution or $12 of additional shares valued at $1.65 per share. On Monday, the special committee of Dell's board asked Icahn and Southeastern for more information related to proposal, while Icahn and Southeastern proposed a slate of directors to the company's board that same day. COMPANY NEWS: In addition to news surrounding the company's go-private proposal, data regarding global PC demand has also weighed on Dell. On April 10, data from IDC said worldwide PC shipments totaled 76.3M in Q1, a 13.9% decline from the prior year period, which was worse than the expected decline of 7.7%. IDC also added that this year-over-year decline was the worst since the firm began its quarterly tracking of the PC market in 1994. On March 28, data released by Gartner said worldwide IT spending is projected to increase 4.1% in 2013 to $3.8T. PRICE ACTION: Shares of Dell have slid more than 2.5% since the first day of trading following its Q4 report. Following the March announcement that Dell received alternative proposals from Blackstone and Icahn, shares closed as high as $14.51 per share. Through April, however, shares of Dell slipped, including a sharp decline after disclosing Blackstone withdrew its offer, with shares closing as low as $13.09 per share. In afternoon trading ahead of its Q1 report, shares of Dell are down 0.2%, to about $13.42.

16:23 EDT	DELL, SNE	On The Fly: Closing Wrap Stocks on Wall Street were higher on a Tuesday again, keeping the strange "Tuesday in 2013" streak alive. Some positive domestic economic data and bullish commentary from Appaloosa Management's David Tepper set the tone early and the averages traded with an upward bias for almost the entire trading day. Today's advance means that every Tuesday this year has seen the market log gains, and investors will have to wait another week to see if the pattern continues. ECONOMIC EVENTS: The NFIB small business optimism index for April rose to 92.1, versus expectations for it to climb to 90.3 from its prior 89.5 reading. Import prices were reported to have declined 0.5% in April, which was in-line with expectations. Export prices declined 0.7%, versus a forecast for a 0.1% drop in the month. COMPANY NEWS: Dell (DELL) shares lost 6c, or 0.44%, to $13.46 after Dow Jones said the company will report first quarter non-GAAP earnings of 20c per share, 15c below current consensus estimates. That followed an earlier report from CNBC's David Faber, who also said the company will report earnings that miss expectations and accurately called that Dell has moved its report to Thursday, which is earlier than had been expected... Sony (SNE) shares added $1.87, or 9.9%, but closed off their best levels at $20.76 after the New York Times reported that Dan Loeb of Third Point has built a 6.5% stake and proposes that the company take its entertainment unit public. MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was InterOil (IOC), up $7.46, or 9.57%, to $85.39 after reporting its earnings and saying its talks with "major oil companies and a national oil company" about a potential LNG partnership are in the final stages. Also higher was SodaStream (SODA), up $6.79, or 11.85%, to $64.08 after at least two analyst firms raised their price target on shares following yesterday's analyst day presentations. Among noteworthy losers was Solar City (SCTY), down $4.44, or 12.37%, to $31.44 after the company's first quarter earnings missed expectations and the stock was downgraded by at least two firms. Also lower was Velti (VELT), down 29c, or 14.5%, to $1.71 after its revenue outlook fell below estimates. INDICES: The Dow was up 123.57, or 0.82%, to 15,215.25; the Nasdaq was up 23.82, or 0.69%, to 3,462.61; and the S&P 500 was up 16.57, or 1.01%, to 1,650.34.

16:25 EDT	DELL	On The Fly: Closing Wrap Stocks on Wall Street were little changed from their opening levels as investors weighed the potential end of the Fed's quantitative easing program against a better than expected report on retail sales. The Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath suggested in a report over the weekend that the Federal Reserve has mapped a QE exit strategy. The report paired with the retail sales data left the market lacking conviction in either direction today, as the averages spent the majority of the session range-bound near the flatline. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., retail sales rose 0.1% in April, which beat expectations for a 0.3% decline. Retail sales excluding autos, gas, and building materials rose 0.6%, which was also better than expected. Business inventories were flat in March, versus expectations for a 0.3% gain. In Asia, Chinese factory output grew 9.3% annually in April, which was up from 8.9% in March but still missed expectations for a 9.5% growth rate. COMPANY NEWS: The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Monsanto's (MON) patented genetically altered soybeans are protected and that farmers cannot use them to create new seeds without paying the company... Dell's (DELL) special committee publicly asked for more information from Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management about their proposed leveraged recapitalization. This request follows television interviews by Icahn last Friday in which he discussed his Dell proposal, as well as a weekend report in Barron's saying the Icahn and Southeastern plan could be a better deal for shareholders. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Theravance (THRX), up $6.26, or 17.92%, to $41.20 after Elan Corporation (ELN) bought a stake in the potential future royalty payments from four respiratory programs partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in exchange for $1B in cash. Also higher was Tesla (TSLA), which rose $11.04, or 14.38%, to $87.80 in its third straight double-digit percentage gain following a better-than-expected earnings report last week. Among the noteworthy losers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), down $2.21, or 9.48%, to $21.10 after the blog InsiderMonkey disputed a previous report about Microsoft's (MSFT) interest in the bookseller's NOOK assets. Also lower was JoS. A. Bank (JOSB), down $3.31, or 7.16%, to $42.90 after the company's first quarter earnings view came in below expectations. INDICES: The Dow was down 26.81, or 0.18%, to 15,091.68; the Nasdaq was up 2.21, or 0.06%, to 3,438.79; and the S&P 500 was nearly unchanged at 1,633.77.
