		<description><![CDATA[The six-month dispute with Express Scripts (ESRX) took its toll on Walgreen’s (WAG) recently released first quarter fiscal 2012 results. The company’s bottom-line was impacted by 2 cents per share from the loss of pharmacy sales and expenses associated with the dispute. If a contract renewal is not finalized, effective January 1, 2012, Walgreen’s 7,800 pharmacies will not be a part of Express Scripts’ pharmacy provider network. The contract accounted for $5.3 billion of sales in fiscal 2011 as Express Scripts processed 88 million prescriptions filled by Walgreens. In the recently concluded quarter the pharmacy benefit manager processed as much as 26 million prescriptions from Walgreen. The wrangle would undoubtedly have an adverse impact on Walgreen’s sales, earnings and cash flow, going by the company’s recently filed 10Q. However, the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our rating on Baltimore, Maryland-based FTI Consulting Inc. (FCN), a global business advisory firm, to Outperform from Neutral. The rating was upgraded as FTI’s corporate finance and restructuring service segment, which has been a significant drag on the company’s results since early 2010, has rebounded to post its first year-over-year increase in six quarters. EBITDA margin was also up 3.2% to 25.7%. The upside in results was driven by growth in the communications, media and entertainment and healthcare practices and higher contributions from Asia and EMEA. Utilization also improved to 75% from 71% in the year-ago quarter for the corporate finance and restructuring segment. FTI Consulting’s recent third quarter 2011 earnings were also solid. The company reported earnings of 70 cents in the quarter, which surpassed the ]]></description>

(AET) has entered into an agreement to acquire Omaha, NE-based Payflex Holdings Inc. in a $202 million deal. The acquisition, which will see light in the second half of the year, will not be accretive to Aetna’s 2011 and 2012 earnings. However, it is likely to offer attractive returns over the longer term. Founded in 1987, Payflex has around 423 employees presently. PayFlex perfectly suits Aetna’s existing consumer-oriented product business, with the former’s business model focusing on web-based benefit administration for healthcare plan sponsors that offer consumer-based products like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and COBRA direct-billing services.

		<description><![CDATA[Information Technology (IT) major, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) recently announced that their scientists have succeeded in developing chips powered by a relatively new memory technology known as phase-change memory (PCM). The new chips can reliably store multiple data bits per cell over extended periods of time. Till date, only single bit-per-cell PCM exhibits the desired reliability in data storage over a period of time, whereas no such results on multi-bit PCM have been reported. IBM said that they have successfully developed the multi-bit chips by doubling the density of a chip and reducing errors when reading data. The chips can store data 100x faster than existing NAND flash technology. They also have high storage capacities and the power to retain data even when the power supply is cut off. ]]></description>

However, markets closed ahead of the tax bill being turned into law and the indices ended almost flat. In addition, there were positive signs for the economy from Conference Board statements. But, the Euro-zone debt concern kept the investors jittery and avoided the markets to gain significantly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.06% to close at 11,491. The S&#38;P 500 rose 0.08% to 1,243 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was up 0.21%, to close at 2,642.

(IT) lowered its worldwide personal computer (PC) growth expectations to 15.3% year over year in the second half of 2010, down 2 percentage points from its previous outlook. Lower consumer demand for PCs in established or mature markets and caution at PC suppliers has led to a dramatic change in the PC supply chain. Gartner cited weak economic conditions in the U.S. and Western Europe as the reason for the softer PC shipment outlook. According to Gartner, mini notebooks constituted less than 18.0% of the total mobile PC market in the second quarter of 2010, down from 20.0% of the total market at 2009-end. Gartner expects mini notebooks market share to drop to approximately 10.0% by 2014. However, worldwide PC shipments are projected to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on FTI Consulting (FCN) to Underperform from Neutral as the company trimmed its fiscal year 2010 outlook. The revised outlook is due to dramatic deceleration expected in Corporate Finance and Restructuring, less-than expected recovery in Merger and Acquisition activity and the struggling Technology segment. Additionally, progress in its other segments such as Economic Consulting, Strategic Communications and Forensic and Litigation Consulting businesses are slower than expected. Further, the near-term outlook remains cautious as demand environment for practices remains uncertain and seizing up of business in Europe. Our six-month target price of $31.00 per share equates to about 12.0X our earnings estimate for 2010, implying a negative total return of about 7.8% over that period.

The economic downturn has adversely impacted technology spending. Global IT spending declined significantly in 2009. The credit crunch greatly impacted IT capital purchases, and most companies have trimmed their IT budgets. This in turn impacted its top line. 2010 will also be a tough year for Unisys as it works through an uncertain spending environment. Management is currently engaged in a multi-step strategy of reducing costs and focusing resources on high growth areas of the IT market. Although management is making progress in expanding margins, we remain cautiously optimistic of the pace of recovery in IT spending and the maturing of higher-margin legacy product sales and services. Unisys aims at generating profitability and ]]></description>

(CSC) has been awarded two more task orders by the U.S. Navy worth a combined value of $56.0 million. The two task orders, with individual values of $24.0 million and $32.0 million, respectively, were awarded under the SeaPort Enhanced indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (“IDIQ&#8221;) contract signed in April 2004. They have fixed tenures of five years each. Both task orders are for support to Navy submarines, surface ships and unmanned vehicles, but while the first one is more focused on development and engineering for model-making (including software simulation, control systems and data analysis), the second covers the actual making of the models and testing them before manufacture.

		<description><![CDATA[After entering into a technical collaboration with Korean conglomerate Hanwha S&#38;C, technology and management consulting company Accenture Plc (ACN) recently entered into a global multi-year outsourcing agreement with Electrolux IT Solutions AB. The tech giant will be shouldering the responsibility of developing and managing a designated portion of Electrolux’s enterprise applications, which consist of JD Edwards, Congos and Lotus Notes. The whole service will be delivered through a global delivery model, and the company expects this to catalyze the information technology restructuring process, resulting in a reduction of cost and enhancing efficiency. This is the continuation of a series of contract wins that the company has witnessed in recent times. A few days back, Accenture won a five-year application outsourcing contract from Nordea, a leading banking and financial services group. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Things are going in favor of the information technology (IT) major Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). The company recently announced that it has been chosen by Airbus as a principal consultant for further enhancement of the Value Chain Visibility (VCV) and Auto-ID program of the company. As per this latest agreement, the tech major will be responsible for the implementation of all the Auto-ID and RFID projects. This includes activities like project management, business analysis, change management, operation, monitoring and support. We believe this opens a floodgate of opportunities for CSC in the aviation sector, where some of its competitors like Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) have a big presence. In addition, CSC recently announced the Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) technology in collaboration, with the networking major Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO). ]]></description>
