		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 12/16/11 There will only be a handful of firms reporting next week as the third quarter reporting season is almost over. A total of just 34 firms are scheduled to report, including 13 of the S&#38;P 500. Most of the firms reporting have November fiscal period-ends, which means that they are reporting fourth quarter results. While few in number, some of the reports come from firms that are highly significant in that they will give clues to the overall direction of earnings in the fourth quarter. The firms reporting next week include: Bed Bath &#38; Beyond (BBBY), Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL), ConAgra (CAG), General Mills (GIS), Micron Technology (MU),  Nike (NKE) and Walgreens (WAG). There will, however, be plenty of economic data for the market to chew on. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CarMax Inc.(KMX) posted a 25% rise in profit to $126.3 million or 55 cents per share in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011from $101.1 million or 44 cents per share in the prior fiscal year-quarter. The profit exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8 cents per share. The increase in profit was attributable to improved customer traffic and higher unit sales, partially offset by a fall in sales conversion rate. This is reflected in the 6% improvement of comparable store sales for the quarter. Net sales and operating revenues in the quarter appreciated 18% to $2.68 billion, which was higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.52 billion. Used vehicle revenues grew 13% to $2.07 billion. Unit sales increased 7.5% or 7,586 vehicles to 108,511 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Retail Sales were slightly below expectations for March. Total retail sales rose 0.4%, and are up 7.1% from a year ago. 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. That overstates things a bit since retail sales are mostly about the sale of goods, not services &#8212; and services make up two thirds of what consumers spend &#8212; but still, it is a pretty important thing to watch.

The profit increased 83% from $48.8 million or 26 cents per share (excluding favorable adjustments primarily related to loans originated due to CarMax Auto Finance) in the prior-year quarter. CarMax’s results were positively driven by a rebound in customer traffic and sales execution along with a favorable year-over-year comparison. This is also reflected in the improvement of comparable store sales by 12% for the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets marked one of the strongest quarters of the decade with negligible movement in the indices as investors patiently await the job data from the Labor Department, scheduled for Friday. The indices faced a stiff challenge from global issues but survived the concerns to remain upbeat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained the most among the benchmarks over the quarter, jumping 6.4%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 and Nasdaq followed the Dow, gaining 5.4% and 4.8%, respectively.

(KMX) reported its earnings for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2011, ended November 30, 2010, on December 21, 2010, barely surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents per share. However, the market reacted negatively, with share prices falling subsequent to the earnings release due to the weak performance of CarMax Auto Finance and absence of the company’s outlook. Analysts were indifferent as well, without upgrading or downgrading the stock since the earnings announcement. Below we will cover the results of the recent earnings announcement, subsequent analyst estimate revisions and Zacks ratings for both short-term and the long-term. Third Quarter Highlights CarMax has beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate with the help of a rebound in customer traffic and sales execution along with a favorable year-over-year comparison. ]]></description>

The profit was higher than $74.6 million or 33 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. CarMax’s results were positively driven by a rebound in customer traffic and sales execution along with a favorable year-over-year comparison. This is also reflected by 16% improvement in comparable store sales for the quarter. Net sales and operating revenues in the quarter went up 23% to $2.12 billion, higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.97 billion. Used vehicle sales escalated 20% to $1.69 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[CarMax Inc. (KMX) showed a profit of $107.9 million or 48 cents per share in the second quarter of its fiscal 2011, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents per share. The profit was slightly higher than $103 million or 46 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in profit was primarily driven by increases in Used vehicle sales and Wholesale vehicle sales. Net sales and operating revenues in the quarter went up 13% to $2.34 billion, higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.28 billion. Comparable-store used unit sales in the quarter rose 4%, driven by an improvement in sales conversion. Used vehicle sales appreciated 10.7% to $1.89 billion. This can be attributable to a higher percentage of vehicles sourced directly from consumers through the company’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Consumer Price Index rose just 0.1% in March, after being unchanged in February and rising 0.2% in January. Over the last year, it is up 2.3%. If one strips out food and energy costs, prices were unchanged on the month, after rising just 0.1% in February and actually falling 0.1% in January. That means since the start of the year there has been absolutely no inflation at all at the core level. As a matter of fact, the last time core inflation rose more than 0.1% was in October. Year over year, core prices are up just 1.1%. Actually, stripping out food AND energy is not really needed, as food really is not an issue in terms of inflation. It rose 0.2% in March after an increase of 0.1% ]]></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>

(KMX) showed a net income of $48.8 million or 26 cents per share (excluding special items) in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2010 ended February 28, 2010 compared to $38.5 million or 17 cents per share (excluding special items) in the same quarter a year ago. With this, the automotive retailer has inched past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 25 cents per share. CarMax’s results were driven by improved customer traffic and sales execution along with successful reduction of reconditioning costs by $200 per used car. These are also reflected in the improvement of comparable store sales by 12% for the quarter. Net sales and operating revenues increased 25% to $1.83 billion in the quarter. Used vehicle sales grew 24.5% to $1.5 billion, while new vehicle ]]></description>

If one strips out volatile food and energy prices to get the core consumer price index, prices were up 0.2%, also one tick higher than the 0.1% expected. A rise in energy prices was not unexpected. Heck, one only has to see what the price of crude oil and natural gas have done over the last month or so. For the month, the price of energy rose 1.5% overall. The rise was sharpest among energy commodities, like gasoline and heating oil, which rose by 1.9%. Energy services, like electricity rose a more moderate &#8212; but still steep &#8212; 0.9%.

		<description><![CDATA[Industry Rank Analysis 11-11-09 OK, Halloween is over, but some of the best-looking industries according to the Zacks Rank are those that not long ago were considered part of the living dead. Case in point, is the top performing sector &#8212; Auto-Truck-Tires. Out of 206 industries tracked, the sector has five of them, and the worst of the bunch, Foreign Autos, ranked tied for 89th with a composite score of 2.88. None of the groups were at the very top, but all were better than average. The original equipment parts makers (although one could argue about the grouping of some of the names) scored best with a rank of 44 and a composite score of 2.62. Three of the 28 firms in the industry, Fuel System Solutions (FSYS), Oshkosh Truck ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In August, personal income rose by $19.3 billion, or 0.2%, and disposable personal income (or DPI, essentially after-tax income) rose by $15.5 billion, or 0.1%. The increase in personal income is essentially the same as we saw in July, and in line with consensus expectations. DPI was actually down very slightly in July, so even the 0.1% increase is an improvement. Even though inflation is low, DPI is not keeping up with it. In real terms, DPI is down for three months in a row, having fallen 0.2% in August, 0.1% in July and plunging 1.6% in June. Income from wages and salaries rose by $8.5 billion in August &#8212; almost the same as the $8.6 billion increase in July &#8212; however there was a big difference by sector. Service sector wages ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CarMax (KMX) witnessed a net income of $103 million or 46 cents per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended August 31, 2009. This was a staggering rise from the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 18 cents per share and $14 million or 6 cents per share reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Healthy increases in both used and wholesale vehicle unit sales triggered the rise in profits. Net sales and operating revenues rose 13% to $2.08 billion from $1.84 billion in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Comparable store used unit sales went up 8% for the quarter. Wholesale unit sales increased 5% year-over-year, while total used unit sales rose 10% in the second quarter. The Government’s “Cash for Clunkers&#8221; program, which resulted in a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were no surprises in the latest Beige Book. The Fed&#8217;s periodic report proclaimed, &#8220;Economic activity continued to stabilize in July and August.&#8221; This statement confirmed the data provided by several other reports. Overall, the tone of the report is that the U.S. economy has already hit bottom and is starting to climb its way out of a deep hole. However, as I have said many times, this recovery will not feel like a recovery to many Americans. Most districts credited the &#8220;Cash For Clunkers&#8221; program for helping sales, though some noted that it had an adverse affect on used car sales. The program was also credited for providing a short-term lift to manufacturing. Of course, what remains to be seen is whether or not Ford (F), CarMax (KMX) and ]]></description>

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. The automakers have been receiving TARP funding from the Treasury to cover cash burn issues. The exact amount continues to be a ]]></description>
