		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview – Week of May 21st It will be a relatively quiet week on the earnings front, as there are only a few reports left before we close the books on the first quarter earnings season. This turned out to be a positive reporting season, with the growth rate, surprises and percentage of beats coming ahead of pre-season expectations. We will get reports from about 100 companies this week, including 17 companies in the S&#38;P 500, which will take the complete tally of S&#38;P 500 results to 495 by the end of the week. The economic calendar this week is on the light side as well, which means that headlines from Europe will likely continue to drive market activity on a day-to-day basis. We will get reports on New ]]></description>

(AZO) recorded a 24% rise in profit to $4.68 per share in the first quarter of its fiscal 2012 ended November 19, 2011 from $3.77 per share in the year-ago quarter, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.45 per share. In absolute terms, profit increased 11% to $191.1 million from $172.1 million a year ago. The increase in profit was driven by a 7.4% rise in net sales to $1.92 billion, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.90 billion. Domestic same-store sales (for stores open at least one year), increased 4.6% during the quarter compared with 9.5% a year ago. Gross margin was 51.1% versus 50.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The higher gross margin was attributable to lower distribution costs due to an increase ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Total Retail Sales rose 0.5% in October on top of a 1.1% rise in September. Relative to a year ago they are up 7.2%. While the number is not adjusted for inflation (it is, but only for seasonality and holidays) it is still a strong showing. It was also better than the expected rise of 0.4% for the month. Retail sales is a very broad measure of consumer spending, not just what is going on at the shopping malls. What happens on the car lots can make a big difference. That said, excluding autos sales, they were up 0.6% for the month after rising 0.5% in September (revised down from up 0.6%) and are up 7.3% year over year. The ex-autos number was much better than the expected rise of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, oil prices gained strength after banks upgraded their crude price forecast; sales of new homes recorded their second consecutive monthly gains, and corporate results came in better than expected. However, markets negated all these positives to drop further down for the third-consecutive day as lingering concerns about slowing growth continued to dampen investor sentiment. Markets ended at their lowest level since April 19 with the benchmarks dropping modestly. The Dow Jones Industrial dropped 0.2% to close at 12,356.21.

The consensus of forecasters was looking for a rise of 0.5%. However,  February was revised up from 1.0% growth to 1.1% growth, which more or less offsets the miss. The Retail Sales report covers far more than just the shopping malls; it is a very broad-based measure of consumer spending. Since consumer spending makes up 71% of the economy it is a very important number.

The National Retail Federation estimates that total spending reached $45 billion during the three-day period of Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Shoppers spent an average of $365.34, up from $343.31 last year. The buying continued on Cyber Monday. ComScore calculated that online sales topped the $1 billion mark for the first time ever. E-commerce sales rose 16% from last year, with average spending per transaction rising 10% to $60.05. Several reports said traffic both at physical stores and online retailers was up.

As the September rally has continued into October, it has pushed 37.4% of the stocks on the S&#38;P 500 to either new 52-week highs or within a fraction of that high. While it is an diverse group of companies, from food companies, to apparel, to integrated oil, to hotels that are hitting new highs, one group stood out from the pack: the utilities. Yes, the one area most investors consider dull and boring actually has been anything but that in recent months. 29 companies, or 15.5%, of those making new highs were in the utilities sector which includes Electric Power, Gas Distribution and the Telephone segment. Who Cares About the Utilities??? ]]></description>

Each of the company&#8217;s auto parts store carries an extensive product line for cars, vans and light trucks Incorporatedluding new and re-manufactured automotive hard parts, maintenance items, and accessories. Many of the company&#8217;s domestic auto parts stores also have a commercial sales program, which provides commercial credit and prompt delivery of parts and other products to local repair garages, dealers and service stations. As the consumer cuts back and drives their cars longer before a trade-in auto parts companies should see an increase in sales. Autozone&#8217;s marketing plan in 2 pronged.

		<description><![CDATA[AutoZone (AZO) has posted a profit of $4.12 per share for the third quarter of its fiscal 2010 ended May 8, 2010, far exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.59 per share and the year-ago profit of $3.13 per share. The absolute income improved 16.7% to $202.7 million from $173.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Net sales increased 10% to $1.8 billion during the quarter. Domestic same-store sales, i.e. sales for stores open at least one year, rose 7.1%. These can be attributable to the company’s aggressive store expansion strategy and a recovery in the U.S. automotive industry. Gross profit as a percentage of sales went up to 50.7% from 50.2% in the last year&#8217;s quarter. The improvement in gross margin was attributable to a shift in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent most of this week at the 2010 CFA Institute Annual Conference, attending several great presentations and panels. Many of the topics centered around strategy, though the regulatory environment and Europe came up frequently during Q&#38;A sessions. In terms of strategies for dealing with the uncertainty, valuation and diversification were stressed constantly. Seth Klarman, president of the Baupost Group and author of the book &#8220;Margin of Safety,&#8221; opined that &#8220;price is an essential determinant of valuations&#8221; and emphasized that buyers should be focused on their entry points. Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of investment firm GMO and known for calling market bubbles, suggested altering portfolio allocations as the risk environment changes. (John Bogle, founder of mutual fund giant Vanguard, said later in the conference that his personal bond allocation is equivalent ]]></description>

Much of the increase was due to strong sales by auto dealers, but even if those are stripped out the numbers still look pretty good, with a monthly increase of 0.6% on top of a 1.0% rise in February. Excluding autos, they year-over-year growth accelerated to 6.4% from 4.5%. Auto dealers such as CarMax (KMX) and parts stores like AutoZone (AZO) saw sales increase by 6.7%, more than reversing a 1.9% drop ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Autozone, Inc. (AZO) is one of a number of auto-parts retailers that has done well in the challenging economy. Estimates are up and the company&#8217;s share price has been trending higher since November of last year. Company Description Autozone, Inc. is a specialty retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts and accessories. The company operates more than 4,250 stores primarily in the Unites States and has a market cap of $8.41 billion. With the economy stuck in a rut and consumers struggling under financial pressure, car sales have fallen sharply. This has been a boon for the retail auto-parts industry, which has thrived as owners upgrade existing models instead of buying new. This dynamic helped Autozone produce solid third-quarter results, reported on May 27. Third-Quarter Results Sales were up 9% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Overview &#8211; Upgraded from Negative to Neutral OPPORTUNITIES The industry is very concentrated, with the top 8 global auto companies having more than 90% of global revenues and the top 50 global auto parts companies having 80% of global revenues (the top 4 US tire producers have 75% of the US market). There is a focus on automation and simplifying product lines to lower costs and benefit from economies of scale. The average car now needs only 15-25 man-hours per vehicle and this drops 2% annually. Hybrid/alternative cars represent a source of growth in the future. Market share gains by hybrids/alternatives will be slow, and they are now only 4% of cars on the road.
