		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview – Week of April 30th The focus this week will be on the labor market, with the April non-farm payroll report coming out on Friday. Many will be hoping that this report will provide confirmation that last month’s disappointment was just a one-off event and the positive trend line of the preceding months is still in place. Jobs aside, we are still in the midst of the first quarter 2012 reporting season, though we have crossed the mid-point of the cycle with about 60% of the results already in. With another 124 S&#38;P 500 companies reporting results in the coming week, we will have results from roughly 84% of the companies by the end of this week. The first quarter earnings season has turned out to be much ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CBS Corporation&#8217;s (CBS) fourth-quarter 2011 earnings of $0.57 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.53 and surged 23.9% from $0.46 earned in the year-ago quarter buoyed by growth in high margin operations and cost-containment efforts. The quarter saw a step up in both the advertising marketplace as well as profitable content deals. Management remains confident about continued growth momentum in fiscal 2012. However, the significant potential risk is CBS&#8217;s high dependence on advertising revenue, which is driven by the health of the economy. To mitigate this, the company is striving to add diverse revenue streams to hedge against economic cycles, which include retransmission, affiliate and online distribution fees. Further, CBS&#8217;s substantial liquidity, positions it to drive future growth and enhance shareholders return. Currently, we maintain our Outperform recommendation ]]></description>

But not for long. What Amazon has planned could challenge both tech giants in one fell swoop. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Amazon will release a tablet PC by October. As more details emerge, we get a clearer picture of what Amazon will offer. Some of the biggest developments are the new additions to Amazon’s video streaming service. It was reported Thursday that Amazon closed a deal with NBCUniversal for streaming video rights, after reaching a similar deal with CBS (NYSE: CBS) last week. Amazon currently offers unlimited streaming of its digital content ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, markets returned to their winning ways after three consecutive days of losses. Moderately positive domestic economic data and a small decline in crude prices brought cheer to investors after a week of falling indices. This was the worst performing week for the year, marked by unrest in the Middle East and surging crude prices which negatively impacted the markets. For the week, the Dow shed 2.1%, the S&#38;P 500 fell 1.7% and Nasdaq was down 1.9%. This was also the worst weekly performance by stocks since November last year. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) slipped 9.9% to 19.22 suggesting the improved sentiment on Friday and the consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange was 3.8 billion shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved up ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Viacom Inc. (VIA.B) reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. While earnings per share (EPS) beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates, revenues fell well short of it. This was primarily due to extremely weak sales of DVD and lack of successful movie releases at the Hollywood box office. Meanwhile, strong viewership ratings for Viacom’s cable channels resulted in higher advertising revenue. First Quarter Highlights Net income from continuing operation was $620 million or $1.02 per share compared with a net income of $693 million or $1.14 per share in the prior-year quarter. However, EPS of $1.02 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 99 cents. Total revenue was $3,828 million, down 5% year over year. This was well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,139 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Tying advertisements to Internet users’ online behavior has so far remained restricted to text searches, but the trend is changing. There is a growing belief that consumers prefer to view ads of their choice when they go online, which is driving some big technology names such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Yahoo (YHOO) to rewrite the rules of online video advertising, the fastest growing form of online advertising.

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Communications (VZ) will offer free one month FiOS Internet and television subscription to its customers. The company will not charge any fees if customers terminate their services after a month. Verizon expects the new offer to be attractive for customers, given the uncertainty surrounding the economy. Verizon spends around $1,350 to install FiOS Internet and television services. Thus, if customers terminate their services after a month, Verizon has to bear a loss. Alternatively, Verizon’s competitive position will increase if customers continue their services. The new offer will create pressure on cable rivals &#8211; Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) and Cablevision Systems Corp. (CVC) and satellite rivals – DirecTV (DTV) and DISH Network Corp. (DISH). At the end of the first quarter 2010, Verizon added 168,000 and 185,000 new customers for its FiOS TV ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Communications (VZ), a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wire line communications services, will buy natural gas vans from Ford Motor Company (F) in its effort to conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the quality of air. Verizon will add 501 Ford E-250 cargo vans equipped with engines that burn compressed natural gas (CNG) compared with conventional gas models and expect the vans to save 1.62 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. The company is finding ways to increase the efficiency of its fleet. CNG, a clean, rich and renewable source of energy, is also cheaper than other fuels such as gasoline or diesel. The company plans to use the Ford E-250 cargo vans in its major markets throughout the country that ]]></description>

The US wireless ace has reportedly signed a pact with Time Warner under which the latter’s popular online TV content will be featured on FiOS TV starting June 2010. Per the agreement, FiOS TV subscribers will have unlimited online access to a variety of programming from Time Warner’s Turner networks TNT and TBS at no added cost. Plans are in place to bring the same content to mobile devices soon. The programs will be aired in high-definition (HD) video quality. Verizon offers FiOS TV services by leveraging its high-speed fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network.

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded our recommendation on CBS Corporation (CBS) to Neutral from Outperform with a target price of $15.00. Due to its exposure to publishing, radio and television broadcasting, and outdoor billboard businesses CBS Corporation remains highly susceptible to the advertising market. The company experienced revenue declines across television, radio, outdoor and publishing businesses in the most recent quarter. However, the company has been aggressively selling slower-growth radio stations in mid-sized markets to focus on the large markets that promise faster growth. As the company divests non-core assets, it is leveraging its strong balance sheet to deploy cash in higher growth interactive businesses. Longer term, we think CBS’s divestitures will strengthen operations as it rationalizes its portfolio with better margin and higher growth businesses. Moreover, in order to protect its ]]></description>

The regulator has drafted ambitious proposals that will revolutionize the US broadband industry and provide the necessary infrastructure to connect all the corners of the nation. As a reminder, the NBP is aimed at setting up strategies and appropriate regulatory framework to promote adoption, affordability and wider availability of broadband Internet in the US. Under the directives of Congress, the FCC has chalked out action plans to ensure far-reaching accessibility of broadband in the country. As expected, the FCC’s blueprint includes the previously announced &#8220;100 Squared&#8221; initiative. The agency expects Internet service providers to offer broadband speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) to ]]></description>

Year-to-date, Netflix shares are up 90.5%, outperforming the peer group as well as the S&#38;P 500 on the back of better-than-expected earnings.

On a reported basis Incorporatedluding one-time items, quarterly earnings of 30 cents a share improved from quarterly loss of $18.58 delivered in the year-ago quarter. The sequential rise in revenue and the cost containment drove the earnings growth. Total revenue climbed 11.4% sequentially to $3,350 million in the quarter, but tumbled 0.8% year-over-year. However, the rate of year-over-year decline sharply decelerated from 11% and 14% experienced in the second and the first quarters of fiscal year 2009, respectively.

The company also indicated some signs of revival in advertising demand in core categories like retail, telecom, pharmaceuticals and quick service restaurants. Although the sluggish advertising market continues to hurt total revenue, which declined 11% to $3,006.3 million in the second-quarter 2009, but CBS saw a 3% improvement in quarterly revenue compared with a 14% drop in the first-quarter 2009.
