		<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>

The quarterly earnings of $1.59 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.34, and surged 48.6% from $1.07 earned in the prior-year quarter. Let’s Dig Deep Deckers said that total net sales jumped 49.1% to $414.4 million from the prior-year quarter, and came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $389 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Deckers Outdoor Corporation (DECK), the manufacturer of sheepskin boots and slippers, recently announced that it has completed the buyout of the Sanuk brand on July 1, 2011. In an earlier release, Deckers stated that it has entered into asset purchase conformity to acquire the Sanuk brand with an initial payment of $120 million in cash. The latter is known for its exclusive sandals and shoes and notable marketing.

Earnings Review Nike posted strong fiscal 2011 fourth-quarter earnings of $1.24 per share, up 17.0% from the year-ago earnings of $1.06 per share, handily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.16 per share.

		<description><![CDATA[Yields on treasury bonds were expected to start trending up as the end point for the Fed&#8217;s $600 billion QE2 program came closer. The thinking was that as the Fed stopped buying these bonds, yields will have nowhere to go but up. This fairly plausible view, which has Pimco&#8217;s Bill Gross as one of its exponents, has failed to materialize thus far. With QE2 just days away from coming to a close, yields on the benchmark 10-year treasury bond are below 2.9%. Yields on the shorter maturity treasury bills are close to zero. This would mean that investors in treasury bills are not asking for anything in return for lending money to Uncle Sam. Given the deadlocked debt-ceiling negotiations in DC and Greece&#8217;s debt problems hogging headlines, is the bond ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continues to be the enemy of savers. On Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox fan reiterated his belief that interest rates should be kept at rock-bottom levels for an extended period of time. He views this as necessary in order to keep the economy growing. Part of Bernanke&#8217;s problem has been his inability to accelerate the pace of money movement, or velocity. Velocity is an economic measure of how many times a dollar is used to purchase goods and services. For instance, if I give you a $100 bill and you put it into your dresser, there is no real velocity. However, if you use it to make a repair on your car and then your mechanic spends the cash on buying a replacement part, velocity ]]></description>

Street analysts had nearly a week to ponder on the news. In the paragraphs that follow, we cover the recent earnings announcement, subsequent analysts’ estimate revisions as well as the Zacks Rank and long-term recommendation on the stock. Earnings Review Lululemon reported robust first-quarter 2011 adjusted earnings of 44 cents a share, up 63.0% from the year-ago figure of 27 cents, handily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents. The earnings growth was primarily driven by strong top-line growth and improved margins achieved through disciplined management and operational efficiencies. The company&#8217;s 16.0% increase in comparable-store sales and 51.0% rise in Direct-to-Consumer revenue aided the 35.0% year-over-year increase in first-quarter 2011 total revenue, which climbed ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weak economic data failed to drag markets lower as investor sentiment was lifted by the technology and retail sectors.  With initial claims surged and the economy expanding at just 1.8%, the employment situation remains a major area of concern amidst a sluggish economy. These concerns had dented the markets in the opening session, but strong performance from the consumer discretionary index and technology sector and modest support from the energy sector helped the indices rebound. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 76 points in the opening session but recouped its losses in the later trading session to close at 12,402.76, up 0.1%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) climbed up 0.4% to finish at 1,325.69. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,782.92, after gaining 0.8%. Volumes continued to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the lack of any major events and the fading out of the earnings season, volatility in commodities has swung the markets over the past few days. On Thursday, a rebound in commodities lifted the benchmarks higher. Moreover, investors chose to negate mixed economic data as crude prices gained strength to pull indices up from the previous day’s loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) increased 0.5% to settle at 12,695.92. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) also gained 0.5% to finish the day at 1,348.65. The Nasdaq Composite Index ended at 2,863.04 after gaining 0.6%. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped to roughly 16.

		<description><![CDATA[Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) continues to be a dominant retail wholesaler based on its breadth and quality of merchandise offered. The company’s strategy to sell products at heavily discounted prices has helped it to remain on a positive growth track amid beleaguered economic conditions as cash-strapped customers continue to reckon Costco as a viable option for low-cost necessities. Having delivered consistent comparable-store sales growth, Costco is well positioned in the warehouse club industry. A differentiated product range enables Costco to provide an upscale shopping experience for its members, resulting in market share gains and higher sales per square foot.

The day after the Dow recorded its largest decline since August 2010, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.39% to end at 11,774.51. The S&#38;P 500 was up 1.34%, or 16.81 points, to close at 1,273.69. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index too gained 19.23 points or 0.73% to close at 2,636.05. The CBOE Volatility Index, Wall Street’s fear gauge, was down 10.4%. However, the Index is up 30.8% over the week. Coming to the economic front, on Thursday the Labor Department lifted market sentiment by reporting a decrease in weekly initial claims figures.

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, markets ended marginally higher and major indices enjoyed record two-year highs. Primarily led by financial stocks and positive economic data, benchmarks ended on the winning side on a trading day with light volumes. As markets near the end of the year, it is to be seen if investor’s carry the optimism to the next year. Investors gained some momentum from positive economic data coming from the Commerce Department. The department announced that the third quarter domestic product was revised to an annualized rate of 2.6%. It inched a percentage higher from previous estimates, but nonetheless fell short of economic estimates of 2.8%. But investors looked into the positive side and awaited the possibility of future growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.23% to end at 11,559.49. The ]]></description>

Last week, LeBron James’ decision to play for the Miami Heat (instead of the New York Knicks where he belongs) was front-page news around the country. And as I write this, six of the top 10 hottest searches on Google Trends are sports related (take that, Lady Gaga!). But unless you can hit a ball 440 feet to centerfield, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded the shares of Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI) from Outperform to Neutral. This is because intense competition from established players, a debt-heavy balance sheet and exposure to adverse foreign currency translations limit the above-market performance of the company. Hanesbrands faces intense competition in both domestic and international markets from other established players Incorporatedluding Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRKA and BRKB, through subsidiaries Russell Corp. and Fruit of the Loom Inc.), Nike Inc. (NKE), Adidas AG, Warnaco Group Inc. (WRC), Maidenform Brands Inc. (MFB) and Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL). Moreover, the company also competes with private label products of specialty retailers, such as Victoria’s Secret, Old Navy and Gap (GAP). Consequently, the company is under severe stress to maintain profitability. The company’s balance sheet is highly levered, as indicated by a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nike Inc. (NKE) reported fiscal second quarter net income of $375.4 million or 77 cents per share, compared to $391 million or 81 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. Although earnings per share decreased 5% year over year, it exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6 cents. Total revenues decreased 4% during the quarter to $4.4 billion, compared to $4.6 billion in the year-ago period, primarily due to the continued economic downturn that led to a cut in consumer discretionary spending. Revenues fell across all the geographic regions, except the Emerging Markets, where revenue increased 8% year-over-year. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 4% during the quarter due to lower marketing and personnel costs. Nike paid a tax rate of 23.5% during the quarter, compared to 24.9% in the year-earlier ]]></description>

Dubai can’t pay its bills? No worries – the market immediately recoups its one-day losses. Government spending set to increase even further to pay for healthcare reform and more troops in Afghanistan? The Dow tacks on another few hundred points. Tiger Woods’ wife goes upside his head with a 5-iron? Tiger is the biggest celebrity endorser of Nike (NYSE: NKE), yet the company’s shares remain unaffected.

		<description><![CDATA[Nike Inc. (NKE), the world’s leading designer, marketer and distributor of athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories, has recently increased its quarterly dividend by 8% to 27 cents per share from 25 cents. Amid a challenging macroeconomic environment, when most companies are either reducing or temporarily withdrawing dividend payments, Nike has decided to increase its dividend for the eighth year in a row. The company has paid over $1.8 billion as dividends to shareholders in the last five years, and expects to continue to pay a steady dividend in the future as well. Nike leverages a massive and well-established network of more than 23,000 retail accounts in the U.S and over 28,000 internationally to reach a wide array of customers. The company’s retail accounts consist of a mix of footwear ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nike Inc. (NKE), a leading global sportswear and equipment supplier company, has witnessed an unrelenting decline in sales due to the continued economic downturn plaguing the retail industry. The company reported a decrease in future orders for the past several quarters. Future orders measure customer orders scheduled to be delivered in the coming season. Nike anticipates its future orders to decline by over 5% when it reports its results in September. The continued softness in the economy has led to a reduction in disposable income and a cut in consumer discretionary spending. Consequently, consumers are more attracted to national and local department stores and discount stores that offer products at fire-sale prices. Major retailers like Foot Locker Inc. (FL) and Hibbett Sports Inc. (HIBB) further anticipate plummeting sales in the ]]></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[Under Armour (UA) Gets Penalized by Analysts Yesterday, Under Armour (NYSE: UA) fell 16%. It’s dropped almost 30% over the past month. Today’s price of $18.25 getting close to the 52-week low of $16.05 it reached in November. And to add insult to (sports?) injury, original investors in the athletic wear company will note it’s well below what they paid in the 2005 IPO. But while many analysts suggest this company may be a one trick pony – akin to Crocs, (Nasdaq: CROX). They couldn’t be more wrong. The reason its share price was penalized was that analysts were expecting $1.09 instead of the .79 reported. This is a classic case of overreaction from a negative earnings report. The fact of the matter is that this brand has developed a ]]></description>
