| theflyonthewall.com: | Earnings Preview: Target may offer update on receivables unit in Q1 report | | Target (TGT) is expected to report Q1 earnings before the open on Wednesday, May 16, with a conference call scheduled for 10:30 am ET. Analysts are looking for EPS of $1.01 on revenue of $16.83B. The consensus range is 97c-$1.03 for EPS, and revenue of $16.48B-$17B, according to First Call. In February, Target reported EPS that was above analysts' estimates and guided Q1 adjusted EPS 97c-$1.07. The company also forecast FY12 adjusted EPS $4.55-$4.75, consensus $4.28 and said it was on track to achieve $5.00 or more in FY13 adjusted EPS. During the quarter, Target reported March same-store sales up 7.3%, with March net retail sales "well above expectations," and said April SSS increased 1.1%. Target said Q1 SSS increased 5.3%. Earlier this month, Target said it would stop carrying Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle due to a "conflict of interest". Investors will listen for comments from the company regarding its credit card receivables portfolio; in February, Target said selling the unit was one of its top priorities." Additionally, the company may offer comments on returning cash to shareholders, after noting in March that it expected to grow its dividend at a robust pace and that it would invest another 41.5B in share repurchase this year. Target named Jeffery J. Jones, II as its Chief Marketing Officer in April. In the year-ago quarter, Target reported EPS of 99c on revenue of $15.94B. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" | | Jim Cramer laid out his game plan for the week of May 14, ahead of Facebook's (FB) IPO on Friday. (Monday) Groupon (GRPN) reports, Cramer said this stock shows us just what can go wrong with a red hot technology-related IPO. He said to stay away. (Tuesday) A slew of retail earnings, including JC Penney (JCP), Dick'' Sporting Goods (DKS), Saks (SKS), TJX Stores (TJX) and Home Depot (HD). Cramer was bullish on TJX and Home Depot, but told investors to steer clear of the others for now. (Wednesday) earnings include John Deere (DE) a perpetually downbeat conference call, Target (TGT) a retailer whose prospects are looking up, along with two restaurants Jack in the Box (JACK) and Red Robin (RRBG). Cramer said he's intrigued by Target, but would only listen to the two burger chains'' results. (Thursday) Reporting: Ross Stores (ROST), Gap Stores (GPS) and Dollar Tree (DLTR), along with cloud computing giant Salesforce.com (CRM). Cramer said to buy any of the retailers on weakness, but only pickup Salesforce if the weakness is severe. (Friday) the expected IPO of Facebook (FB) and Cramer once again told investors to get in on the IPO, if they can, but absolutely do not buy any shares in the aftermarket. Next, Cramer said he's always a fan of companies unlocking value by splitting themselves up. In a case like Marathon Oil (MRO), shares rose 30% from the time the deal was announced until the split actually occurred earlier this year. But once the split happens, cautioned Cramer, the opportunity comes to an end. Now ConocoPhillips (COP) has spun off its Phillips 66 (PSX) refining and pipeline assets, the company is only growing at 3% to 5% a year, hardly enough to get excited about., Cramer says. He prefers Chevron (CVX), which offers a smaller dividend but also more growth. Investors looking for even more upside should consider EOG Resources (EOG) or an oil pipeline like Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP). Bottom-line: Cramer said that he's not a buyer of either half of the old Conoco and told investors that this opportunity, like most other break up stories, has come to an end. Then, Cramer put the energy drink maker Monster Beverage (MNST) through his 10-step prism to find out if its a turbo-charged company or just an over-caffeinated stock. Weighing all the pros and cons, Cramer said that he would invest in Monster only as a speculative stock. He also recommended using deep-in-the-money call options as a stock replacement strategy to limit the downside risk. MAD MAIL: Medtronic (MDT) is dead money and there are better places to invest. Cramer prefers Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) instead of Inergy (NRGY). Conns (CONN) too risky. Cramer is only recommending a few oil stocks and not Carrizo (CRZO). Bearish on Windstream Communications (WIN). Abbott Labs (ABT) is his favorite drug stock. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: Cramer sounded off on the JPMorgan Chase (JPM)) bad-trade debacle. Cramer suggested JPM CEO Jamie Dimon give up his bonus as a gesture of good will toward shareholders. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) DOW; CCE; HBAN, buy under $6. (Bearish) UPL; BGCP; BRCD; ERF.Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com |
