| 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. |

| 12:24 EDT | | CIEN | On The Fly: Midday Wrap
The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged at midday following a deluge of domestic economic data this morning. The S&P began the session in negative territory, but only moderately lower, after investors received a host of data prior to the open, including reports on jobless claims, consumer prices, and housing starts. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 32K to 360K last week, compared to expectations for them to remain relatively stable at 330K. The consumer price index dropped a larger than forecast 0.4% in April, though the "core" CPI rate rose 0.1%, as expected. Housing starts were down 16.5% in April from the prior month, versus an expected decrease of 6.4%, though building permits jumped 14.3% from the prior month, beating an expected increase of 3.8%. The Philadelphia Fed General Business Conditions Index for May came in at -5.2, versus expectations for a +2.2 reading. COMPANY NEWS: Earnings reports from two Dow members, Wal-Mart (WMT) and Cisco (CSCO), sent their shares in opposite directions. Cisco shares advanced 12% to lead the blue chip index after the company's results beat expectations on the top and bottom lines and prompted price target increases at several analyst firms. Wal-Mart, in contrast, lagged all Dow names, sliding 2% after its earnings for the just ended quarter and its view of the current quarter missed the consensus forecast... After the closing bell, Tesla Motors (TSLA) said it intends to raise about $830M by offering 2.7M common shares and $450M in convertible senior notes. CEO Elon Musk will buy $100M worth of the stock and debt, the company said, and its recently high-flying shares rose another 6%. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers rising following Cisco's better than expected results and commentary were Ciena (CIEN), which rose 8%, and Cavium (CAVM), which advanced 4%. Also higher were shares of NetApp (NTAP), which gained over 6% after Bloomberg said activist investor Elliott Management has taken a stake in the company and is pushing its board to explore ways to boost shareholder value. Among the noteworthy losers were Oncothyreon (ONTY), which fell 20%, and Biomarin (BMRN), down 5%, after both pharmaceutical companies, among a number of others, published data to be presented at ASCO, an annual meeting of oncologists. Also lower was AMD (AMD), which declined 14% following a downgrade to Sell at Goldman Sachs. INDICES: Near noon, the Dow was up 12.47, or 0.08%, to 15,288.16; the Nasdaq was up 8.74, or 0.25%, to 3,480.36; and the S&P 500 was nearly flat at 1,658.80. |

| 16:25 EDT | | MSFT | 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. |

| 14:24 EDT | | MSFT | Barnes & Noble tumbles after blog pans potential Nook deal
Shares of Barnes & Noble (BKS) are sinking after website Insider Monkey stated that Microsoft (MSFT) doesn't plan to buy the book retailer's NOOK Media unit in the near future. Last Thursday another website, TechCrunch, reported that Microsoft was considering acquiring NOOK Media, which includes NOOK devices and other digital businesses, for $1B. WHAT'S NEW: "Nothing imminent is happening" between Microsoft and NOOK, Insider Monkey quoted a "highly placed source" at Microsoft as saying. TechCrunch's story was "only a rumor," the unnamed source added, according to Insider Monkey. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Microsoft has already invested $300M in NOOK Media in exchange for a stake of about 17% in the unit. The New York Times last week quoted a source as saying that the TechCrunch story was based on valid documents, but that they appeared to be at least several weeks old. The book retailer's stock surged over 20% on Thursday after TechCrunch published its story. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In mid-afternoon trading, Barnes & noble fell $2.90, or 12.40%, to $20.40. |
