		<description><![CDATA[Dell Inc. (DELL) has introduced a family of servers specially targeted at the Small and Medium Business [SMB] segment. This is the eleventh generation of its PowerEdge servers and PowerVault NX300 storage servers. We believe that these cost-efficient products could help the company grab a share of the SMB market. The new PowerEdge servers are powered with Intel’s (INTC) Xeon 3400 processors needed to run business workloads with the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system. These servers have lifecycle controllers and an easy access design. They are empowered with various features that claim to reduce maintenance cost. The new PowerEdge servers come in T110, T310, R210 and R510 models and are available from September itself, starting at $599. This apart, in the Storage Server segment, the company introduced PowerVault ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) recently said it would launch a new Print App and an App Studio portal for the holiday season to enhance web printing, helping consumers to print customized content without a PC. The print App software is designed to work with HP’s high-end printers. To improve the speed and reduce cost of digital printing, the company had earlier unveiled graphic arts technologies and products to support its Print 2.0 strategy. HP’s Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web is already available in the market. The company is manufacturing commercial and specialty digital printers to work with the Photosmart and TouchSmart.

		<description><![CDATA[In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday, International Business Machines (IBM) reiterated its fiscal 2009 profit outlook of at least $9.70 per share. Management also said that IBM was well on course to deliver earnings of $10 to $11 per share in 2010. With significant operating leverage, the company expects to continue expanding margins, helped by about $3.5 billion of savings from cost-cutting initiatives in 2009. Shares of the company rose in early trading hours to $118.18 after closing at $117.46 on Friday on the New York Stock Exchange. IBM expects to release third-quarter results on Oct. 15. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $2.38 a share for the quarter and $9.77 for the full year, exceeding the company’s guidance of $9.70. Zacks estimates assume approximately ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several patents previously held by Microsoft (MSFT) are expected to change hands. Microsoft acquired the patents from Silicon Graphics and subsequently sold them to Allied Security Trust (AST) at a private auction. AST is expected to resell the patents to Open Invention Network (OIN). The patents purportedly relate to Linux open source technology, which is the reason for the interest in them. OIN consists of member companies such as RedHat (RHAT), International Business Machines (IBM), Phillips and Novell (NOVL), which use open source technology in their products. OIM licenses the patents but typically does not resell them. AST is in the business of acquiring patents from owners, licensing the technology back to them and ultimately selling off the patents. The member firms include big names in the technology space, such ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Wall Street Journal, EMC Corp. (EMC) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) will form a new joint venture. EMC is a leader in the storage hardware and software segment while Cisco is a leading provider of IP-based networking and other products. The Journal cited that the joint venture would provide data center services to large businesses and would use Cisco’s new blade server for data centers. However, both the companies declined to provide further details. EMC had agreements with Cisco earlier. The strategic alliance with Cisco in the data center and security business as well as enterprise market enables EMC to drive new growth opportunities within large virtualized next-gen data centers and help target the company’s next generation virtualization efforts. We believe this relationship with Cisco will help EMC compete ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As per a recent agreement between Dell Inc. (DELL) and Brocade Communications Systems Inc. (BRCD), the former gains access and will be able to sell Brocade network switches and gear. These products are targeted at large corporate data centers. Under this agreement, both companies will share revenues, which Dell generates through sales of the designated products. Other than this third party agreement, Dell also sells other third party networking gears from Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) and software from Scalent Systems Inc., which helps in the coordination of network switches and server computers. We believe this is an additional source of revenue for the company and a business model, which will support its long-term growth. This is a counter move from Dell, as big networking companies like Cisco Systems are entering ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google (GOOG) recently struck a deal with Sony Corp. (SNE), according to which the latter will ship the Chrome browser pre-installed on some of its PC models. The financial or other details of the transaction were not disclosed. A Google spokesperson said that the deal was in the nature of a first step and agreements with other leading PC-makers are expected to follow. We think this is an interesting move and could be leveraged to boost sales of its Chrome operating system to be launched next year. Microsoft’s (MSFT) domination of the web browser space is largely attributable to its strategy of bundling the Internet Explorer with its operating system. Since MSFT operating systems continue to be the most commonly used, this is an obvious advantage. While Microsoft, being the market leader, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good news continues for Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ). After delivering modest third quarter results, the company won a deal with American Airlines parent AMR Corp. (AMR). According to the agreement, Hewlett-Packard will be developing a system for AMR, which will take care of pricing, reservations, flight information and check-in. We believe this will improve the overall travel experience of American Airlines customers. This will specifically help the company in efficient baggage transfer, which will ultimately lead to lesser lost baggage, passengers getting updated information about cancelled or rescheduled flights and user-friendly check in process. The process may take around 4 to 5 years to set up. The pricing of the deal was not declared. We believe that if Hewlett-Packard can execute this project efficiently, this experience will take the company a ]]></description>

The netbook named “Nokia Booklet 3G&#8221; will have a 10 inch screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G Wireless access. Most importantly the netbook will run on Microsoft (MSFT) windows and Intel’s (INTC) Atom processor. This shows the company’s intention to increase its product portfolio and enter the computer segment. We believe this is a counter move by Nokia, a reply to computer manufacturers’ decision to enter the smart phone space. The netbook market is growing very fast and has number of players including Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Lenovo, Acer and Asus. This could signal a battle between computer/laptop manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers as each one is trying to venture into another’s business. Netbooks are internet devices, which fall in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) have disclosed their U.S. federal and state lobbying expenses (Lobbying is the practice of influencing government decisions) and political expenditures from trade association in recent filings. California-based HP spent $790,000 (2.9% of total revenue) as lobbying fees to the State, Commerce and Treasury departments for domestic and foreign trade issues in the second quarter, up $340,000 from the comparable quarter last year. The issues dealt with included the dismissal of China’s plan to set up HP PCs with Internet filtering software in China. China withdrew the agreement after security personnel warned that it might infringe international trade rules. The costs also include charges on energy efficiency standards, immigration issues and tax laws. The second-quarter lobbying costs are a huge jump from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ongoing debate about health care has become more focused on ideological lines than on what realistically can and should be done. Though not surprising, it is unfortunate. It would be wonderful if the conversation shifted to what changes can realistically be made and what changes should be made to prevent a worsening crisis. Here are some ideas, along with potential investment plays. Big Pharma Is Not Going Away Regardless of what you think about the drug companies, they are not going anywhere. The pharmaceutical lobby has made certain that it has a seat at the table and it seems probable that any new laws will benefit them. Even though some concessions will be made, the Obama Administration has quietly signaled a willingness not to pursue the most beneficial cost-saving ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tech Data Corp. (TECD) has declared encouraging financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Total revenue was $5.2 billion compared to $6.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. However, this was above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.04 billion. The year-over-year decline in sales is mainly attributable to the adverse movement of exchange rates of the U.S. dollar with respect to certain foreign currencies, as well as a challenging global economy that has resulted in a slowdown in IT spending. Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $35.2 million compared to $22.1 million in the year-ago quarter. EPS in the same quarter was an income of 70 cents compared to an income of 42 cents in the prior-year quarter. This was significantly above the Zacks Consensus ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The largest software company, Oracle Corp. (ORCL) announced that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has approved its proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Inc. (JAVA). The approval from the DOJ was much anticipated. In June, the DOJ had extended its investigation on the deal to gather more information and further review the effects of the merger on competition for International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), Oracle&#8217;s biggest database software rival, as well as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), which compete with Sun in the server market. The clearance had earlier been delayed due to scrutiny about the licensing of Java, a programming language and software developed by Sun, which is used in IBM’s products. Moreover, issues lingered on Oracle&#8217;s potential acquisition of Sun&#8217;s MySQL – an open-source database software, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IBM&#8216;s (IBM) broad product and services portfolio delivers value to clients through a combination of services, hardware and software. The key verticals for IBM in the Indian market are infrastructure, such as construction and steel; telecom; industrial; energy and utilities. It also witnesses growth in the insurance and banking, travel and transportation, and the government spaces. We therefore favor IBM for its wide range of products and large international exposure. IBM generates over a billion dollars in revenue from the Indian market. Revenue at IBM was driven by double-digit growth in markets such as India and China, which were up 10.0% in 2008. IBM expects these growing markets to drive revenue and increase growth beyond 2009. In comparison to the slowing U.S. markets and weak IT spending, the Indian market ]]></description>

Shanghai&#8217;s main index jumped 126 points, or 4.5%, to 2,911.58, while Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 stock average climbed 179.41 points, or 1.8%, to 10,383.41.  Hong Kong&#8217;s Hang Seng rose 374.63, or 2%, to 20,336.36.  South Korea’s Kospi advanced 2% to 1,576.39.

(IBM) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). But of late, IBM has decided to take a closer look at Brazil, as it believes that country will be the next big technological destination. IBM is expected to announce its expansion plans for Brazil very soon. To stimulate the country’s technological growth, the company is arranging to meet venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and Brazilian government agencies involved in funding technological development in the country. Brazil has a number of good technical colleges and universities producing good quality technical graduates and engineers every year. IBM will be able to ]]></description>

Our rating is based on the following thesis: EMC holds a leadership position in the storage hardware and software segment. The information storage business is EMC’s largest segment (78.0% of fiscal 2008 revenue). The company has reasserted its market leadership in the important high-end storage product category with the recent launch of V-MAX, its new Symmetrix line. Moreover, the new V-MAX product could help EMC gain additional market share in the cloud computing space. Successive acquisitions have helped EMC build a strong portfolio of products, which provides tough competition to large software vendors.

Revenue fell across all businesses Incorporatedluding servers and data storage systems, software, PCs, printers and ink supplies due to weakening demand for computers and printers, particularly in Europe, partially offset by strong results in the Technology Solutions Group.

		<description><![CDATA[The drivers behind our Outperform rating on International Business Machines (IBM) are the company’s strong fundamentals, substantial free cash flow, strong earnings momentum, improving operating performance, effective restructuring initiatives and new growth opportunities. IBM is the leader in software, services and storage business. Its second-quarter results beat the Zacks Consensus, fueled by higher gross margins and cost controls. With continued cost-cutting efforts, the company raised its 2009 profit guidance by 50 cents to $9.70 per share. Despite falling sales, IBM’s efforts to generate earnings through a combination of margin expansion, growth initiatives, acquisitions, expected benefits from retirement-related costs and effective capital deployment are commendable. IBM has been better insulated from the recent weakness in the U.S. economy than many of its peers owing to a large international revenue base. Moreover, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mphasis Ltd., an Indian subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) will purchase the AIG Systems Solutions Pvt. Ltd unit of American International Group Inc. (AIG). The deal has yet to clear legal formalities and financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. While the acquisition will enable Mphasis to enter the insurance sector, we doubt that it will have a significant impact on Hewlett-Packard’s credibility. AIG is one of the biggest insurance companies in the world, but lost face during the recent credit crisis and had to be bailed out by the U.S. government. Historically, acquisitions have always been a key growth strategy for HP. As part of its plan of expanding into growth markets and furthering its leadership in personal computing, the company acquired Neoware, Inc., a provider of thin ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hard times seem far from over for Dell (DELL). The company’s Chairman Michael Dell and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Rollins are encountering problems on all fronts. Trouble started with the Sony (SNE) laptop battery fiasco back in 2006, which prompted the company to recall over four million units. More recently, management decided to terminate its agreement with Intel (INTC) and use Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) chips instead. We believe this could impair consumer confidence, especially since rumblings of customer dissatisfaction are getting louder. Further, one of its most successful business strategies is also not working well. Dell used to attract clients by displaying cheap products on the company website. Customers browsing the website would end up spending an additional $2500 on PC accessories. This scenario is changing rapidly since PCs ]]></description>

This is the second consecutive year that IBM has been ranked number one, which indicates market share gains. IBM’s IT outsourcing services help clients improve IT efficiency and facilitate the rapid deployment of new IT services for future business growth. Recently, the company announced a strategic IT outsourcing agreement with S-OIL Corporation (S-OIL), the third largest oil company in South Korea. The agreement spans a period of seven years but further details regarding consideration were not provided by management. A service fee will be imposed based on the services provided by IBM.

		<description><![CDATA[Three former employees sued Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) for default in paying millions of dollars of commission to its sales force. It is believed that this is the result of faulty software Incorporatedapable of keeping an accurate record of commissions earned by respective employees. We believe this is an embarrassing development for a company of this stature, which may adversely affect its goodwill going forward. It is likely that the incident will spread a negative feeling among all employees, whether affected or not. Although the company has acknowledged the problem, it is of the opinion that the issue has been blown out of proportion. This lawsuit is particularly targeted at a computer program known as “Omega&#8221;, which HP started using after its acquisition of Compaq in 2002. The company declared that only a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Operating conditions for the printing business are getting increasingly challenging. The weakness is driven by both corporate and retail customers who are moving towards a paperless office, in order to reduce the cost of stationery. Research firm IDC projects the number of printed pages worldwide will decline to 1.47 trillion in 2009 from 1.50 trillion in 2008. As a result of this bleak outlook, printer manufacturing companies like Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Xerox (XRX) and Lexmark International (LXK) are transforming their printing business through new products with enhanced features. These new age printers, when linked to online services, enable direct access to data from websites, which can then be printed accordingly. The first all-in-one printers and copiers that came into existence a few years back included web-browsing capabilities. Later versions also included ]]></description>

Like many looking to get away from it all, I’ve been spending most of my summer Sundays at the movies. Too often, as I stroll in late, I find the theater is already packed. It’s not surprising. Entertainment often does well in economic downturns, leading many to call it “recession proof.” More correct, would be to call it “recession resistant.” The fact is, there are a number of movies and movie companies that are raking in the dough right now. And there’s no ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Repurchase Cutbacks Identify the Weak&#8230; and the Poor Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s just reported that third-quarter stock buybacks declined by almost 48% amongst S&#38;P 500 firms. Cumulatively, that&#8217;s almost $156 billion less for the full year than 2007. These repurchase cutbacks give us a window into who&#8217;s healthy &#8211; and who&#8217;s not. Companies that buy back shares have higher profits and generally outperform those that do not. Firms worried about income or financing are going to be the first ones to cut back or suspend share buybacks. Surprisingly, the Information Technology sector accounts for 25% of all buybacks. While Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) took the top spot, energy companies only accounted for 18% of buybacks. That&#8217;s low, considering their record-breaking profits this year.
