		<description><![CDATA[Personal Computer (PC) shipments continue to struggle as research firms Gartner and IDC reported a decline in PC shipments for the fourth quarter of 2011. Gartner and IDC estimate 1.4% and 0.2% declines in worldwide PC shipments, respectively in the fourth quarter. Worldwide PC shipments for the fourth quarter were in the range of 92 million and 93 million, as per Gartner and IDC. The adjusted figures could be gathered from the PC makers, as the companies release their quarterly reports in the coming weeks. This decline in PC shipments is attributable to various factors, the most important of them being the growing popularity of the mobile devices that are more convenient, less expensive and almost as powerful as PCs.

The Prius PHV Concept was first unveiled in Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, while the production version of the vehicle was launched at the same auto show in September this year.

However, gross margin declined 240 basis points (bps) to 23.9% in the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Wednesday, June 22, 2011 The Great East Japan Earthquake shook up Japanese electronics manufacturers like Sony (NYSE: SNE), Hitachi (NYSE: HIT) and Panasonic (NYSE: PC) in March. And things haven’t turned around yet. Sony’s stock is still reeling as it hit a 52-week low last week – a drop of more than 25 percent from its pre-quake price. Panasonic is down more than 10 percent and Hitachi is down approximately eight percent from their respective prices on March 10, 2011 – the day before the disaster. Days after the first quake, we suggested that investing in Japan could be a good bet for the long term. What we didn’t know at the time was how long it would take to see signs of recovery. ]]></description>

(ENR) reported second quarter 2011 non-GAAP earnings (excluding charges) of $1.04 per share, comprehensively beating the Zacks Consensus estimate of 91 cents per share.

Including charges and one-time items of 49 cents, EPS came in at 55 cents in the quarter, down 56.0% year over year from $1.25. Gross margin was 45.5% compared with 47.8% in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[The overall Personal Computer (PC) market is witnessing a downward trend, as elucidated by a year-over-year decline of 1.1% in PC shipments to 84.3 million during the first quarter of 2011. Technology research firms, IDC and Gartner unanimously confirmed the fact that there was a drop in PC sales compared with the year-ago quarter. The main reason behind the declining PC sales is the growing popularity of Apple’s (AAPL) iPad, which continues to take significant market share from the PC and notebook markets. Gartner and IDC expected PC sales to grow 3.0% and 1.5%, respectively. Apart from the growing popularity of the iPad, consumers did not show much interest in buying cheap PCs, a product category that acts as a major catalyst in PC sales growth.  Rather, they were interested ]]></description>

Benchmarks inched down by a point as Japan’s nuclear crisis started taking its toll, raising concerns of a dip in the global economy. However, experts’ opinion of the Japan crisis being only a short-term drag for the US markets reduced investors’ anxiety to a certain extent. Separately, a state of emergency was declared in Bahrain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) survived a 300 point plunge shortly after the market opened to end at 11.855.42, dropping 1.2% or 137 points.

		<description><![CDATA[Energizer Holdings Inc. (ENR) reported first quarter 2011 non-GAAP earnings (excluding charges) of $1.68 per share, well below the Zacks Consensus of $1.92 per share, based on increased expenses, poor margins and lower profit from the battery business in the quarter. Earnings per share (EPS) declined 9.2% year over year. Including charges and one-time items, earnings came in at $1.55 per share in the quarter, down 12.9% year over year from $1.78. Gross margin was 47.1%, compared with 47.6% in the year-ago quarter. The decline was primarily attributable to increased coupon and trade promotional activity for the Schick Hydro product launch that adversely affected margin by approximately 120 basis points.

Tech Data’s second quarter 2011 results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate and recorded the most profitable second quarter in the company’s history, attributable to an improving demand for technology products combined with an outstanding effort in working capital management. With strong earnings momentum, diversified customer base Incorporatedreased acquisition, diverse product portfolio, significant operating efficiency and share repurchases, we remain positive on the company’s long-term growth. We believe Tech Data continues to benefit from an increase in internal investment Incorporatedreased workforce and a higher spending on developing systems, which has driven growth.

		<description><![CDATA[Gartner’s View Research firm Gartner Inc. (IT) lowered its worldwide personal computer (PC) growth expectations to 15.3% year over year in the second half of 2010, down 2 percentage points from its previous outlook. Lower consumer demand for PCs in established or mature markets and caution at PC suppliers has led to a dramatic change in the PC supply chain. Gartner cited weak economic conditions in the U.S. and Western Europe as the reason for the softer PC shipment outlook. According to Gartner, mini notebooks constituted less than 18.0% of the total mobile PC market in the second quarter of 2010, down from 20.0% of the total market at 2009-end. Gartner expects mini notebooks market share to drop to approximately 10.0% by 2014. However, worldwide PC shipments are projected to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ON Semiconductor (ONNN) recently announced that it agreed to acquire Sanyo Electric Co.’s unprofitable semiconductor business in a cash-and-stock-deal valued at about $366 million. The company said the acquisition of Sanyo Semiconductor Co. will strengthen its presence in the automotive and consumer markets in the Asia Pacific region. The chipmaker, which competes with big names such as Texas Instruments (TXN) and Intersil Corp. (ISIL), said it sees the acquisition resulting in a charge but did not say how much. Although ON Semiconductor, a part of Motorola Inc. (MOT) until 1999, has a decade-old presence in the Japanese market, it expects the latest acquisition to be a strategic fit, giving it increased access to what it says is an important part of the global semiconductor market.

To serve the hospitality industry, Panasonic will integrate LodgeNet&#8217;s b-LAN (broadband local area network) technology into its new LRU20 series high-definition (HD) television displays. Under the agreement, Panasonic will install LodgeNet&#8217;s patented b-LAN technology into its televisions (TVs). This will provide users with cost effective solutions for interactive content and functionality, such as centralized channel management (through LodgeNet&#8217;s Free-to-Guest Management Appliance), video on demand content and interactive guest services. Panasonic TVs can be centrally operated as networked devices rather than unconnected, stand-alone units using LodgeNet&#8217;s b-LAN technology solution, the company stated.

		<description><![CDATA[Right after making headlines for a lawsuit against New Jersey-based Turbon International Inc., the largest personal computer (PC) manufacturer Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) has hit the headlines again for acquiring three virtualization software lines from software maker Phoenix Technologies Ltd. The deal is valued at $12.0 million and will give Phoenix the opportunity to focus on the core systems software market. We believe that, in keeping with the revival in demand for software and IT products, the demand for virtualization software will increase in an attempt to improve the productivity of each server. The software lines that will be acquired by HP include HyperSpace, HyperCore and Phoenix Flip products. HP has always grown through strategic acquisitions. During fiscal 2008, the company acquired nine companies, the largest of which was Electronic Data ]]></description>

The company cited strong U.S. demand, which exceeded supply, as the reason for the postponement. The company is expected to announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on May 10. International markets have become an important driver of growth for AAPL as it has increased its presence in international markets via iPhones and iPods. International sales accounted for 58% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 (most recent quarter) compared to 46% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2009.

		<description><![CDATA[The economic downturn has weighed heavily on the fortunes of the Consumer Electronics industry. Consumer electronics sales stagnated in 2008 and through most of 2009 as a result of the deteriorating economic conditions in the U.S. With little to no revenue growth, consumer electronics companies have been resorting to cost-cutting and share repurchases to drive bottom-line growth. In the first half of 2009, 50% of the world’s electronic equipment makers experienced revenue declines. Inventory drawdown from last year further impacted volumes in major consumer electronics categories. The recession hit the consumer electronics industry in the back half of 2008, pulling down annual revenue numbers. The average U.S. household spent $1,229 on consumer electronics in 2008, a 12.5% decline from 2007. All consumer electronics companies witnessed significant gross margin declines, as ]]></description>

The renowned personal computer (PC) manufacturer is planning to launch a smartphone, which will run on Google’s (GOOG) Android mobile software and will be connected through telecom giant AT&#38;T’s (T) network. We believe that Dell is following the footprint of another computer maker, Apple Inc. (AAPL), whose flagship smartphone iPhone generated substantial business for the company. Currently the smartphone market is dominated by players like Apple, Research In Motion (RIMM) and Nokia Corp. (NOK). Both handset and PC-makers have understood the business potential of the smartphone and Dell is also in the process of grabbing its share.
