Bullish on HP's Future Following Strong Earnings Graphic_rating_buy HPQ
-4.53%
in 60 days
5/21 - "Looking through the release, I see quite a few things to like about the H-P story...Revenues increased 11% to $28.3 billion. This increase was aided by international sales and the weak dollar...the adjusted operating margin increased 100 basis points to 10%. Cash generated from operations was $4.8 billion during the quarter, which the release categorized as a record statistic." "Honestly, it seems like H-P is managing itself very skillfully, leveraging its various brands in the PC sector to great effect. Guidance calls for adjusted earnings of $3.54 and $3.58.

Analysts Split on HP-EDS Deal Graphic_rating_buy HPQ
-5.34%
in 66 days
5/13 - "Clearly, the Street is not crazy about Hewlett-Packard’s (HPQ) plan to acquired Electronic Data Systems (EDS). In two days, the Street has knocked about 10% off HP’s stock price, chopping its market cap by about $12.5 billion, almost equal to the $13.9 billion deal price. The obvious question is, why?...And the answer is, there are several reasons." "Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Bernstein Research, notes that since 2002, EDS has generated annual revenue growth of just 0.4% versus 8% for HP. And he notes that gross margins at EDS are around 15%, versus 24% for HP. “Given that we d...

HP's Acquisition of EDS Makes Sense Graphic_rating_buy HPQ
-5.34%
in 66 days
5/14 - "Clearly, the intent of the deal is to challenge IBM’s supremacy in IT services. IBM claims the largest share of the international IT services market with 7.2%, according to Gartner Inc. EDS is second with a 3% share, and HP is fifth with 2.3%. As with any large scale merger there will be organizational difficulties and differences of corporate culture, but this merger should provide much upside for HP." "The IT service group is obviously a focal point for HP CEO Mark Hurd’s growth strategy and many analysts foresee the industry as a whole growing at a steady 8% clip of the next 5 y...

EDS Deal Suggests that HP's Out of Growth Options Graphic_rating_sell HPQ
+5.34%
in 66 days
5/13 - "While this combination would make HP the second largest, behind International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) in computer services, this may not be a good way to spend $12.8 billion...That's because EDS and HP would under perform in services when it comes to profitability. EDS's bigger business earned a 1% net profit margin in the first quarter. But HP's services business generated a far higher 9% estimated net margin." "Now may be a good time to sell HP stock. Mark Hurd came into HP as a nuts-and-bolts operator. This deal suggests that Hurd has run out of growth options and that HP ...

Fed Ex (FDX), UPS (UPS)

Fed Ex's warning not only sent its own shares down, but has implications for UPS and retail, and will have a positive impact on rails, Guy Adami said. Najarian noted FDX's warning is consistent with the rising price of oil, and a decline in oil may be good for FDX. Macke says UPS might be a buying opportunity.
