Disney: Riding The Success Of ‘The Avengers’ To Future Earnings Growth
It’s safe to say that the last week and a half have been huge for the House of Mouse. As everyone knows, The Avengers shattered the record for domestic box office sales at $ 207 million, and this past weekend it became one among a handful of films to gross over $ 1 billion internationally. While setting a new standard in opening weekend sales, The Avengers also became the first substantial vindication of Disney’s (DIS) purchase of Marvel Comics, announced in 2009. I have mentioned this before, but Paramount retained the distribution rights to Marvel movies up to this point, which included the first two Iron Man movies, Captain America, and Thor. But from here on out Disney will hold these rights and the prospect of such is very encouraging.
In other big news, Disney announced their second quarter earnings last Tuesday at $ 0.58/share. This was significant because it was an 18%
Triple digit growth but priced for us roaches
Good Evening!
If you’re looking for a way to follow up on last week’s winning plays, listen up!
Tomorrow we’re going right into the thick of things with a company at the middle of the headlines.
The stock isn’t a sub-penny ghost and it’s not a “massive” $ 2 giant.
Not too small, not too slow. Liquid enough to give you something to work with, priced low to give shares someplace to go.
The business is one of the oldest stories in the world, a real recession-resistant niche.
Whatever happens to the euro or the economy, demand for these products can only go up.
Demand’s already boosted sales 200% in the last year alone as global customers get in line.
The lines on the chart look pretty tempting in their own right.
Natural support is stronger here than we’ve seen in awhile.
Minyanville’s T3 Weekly Recap: Stocks Fall Hard After Weak Jobs Growth
The market experienced one of its sharpest drops of 2012 on Friday triggered by a lower than expected number of non-farm payrolls created in April. The Nasdaq dropped hardest at 2.25% the S&P fell 1.62% and the Dow slid 1.28%. The US economy saw an increase of only 115 000 jobs rekindling fears of a double dip recession although February and March numbers were revised higher. Markets seemed to be expecting a sluggish number based on the action this week so the size of today's pull-in comes as a bit of a surprise. While much of the selling is being

I Like The Business Model And Growth Prospects Of American Express
By Jacob Steinberg:
American Express (AXP) is a company making a bigger impact in the business world every day. The company continues to grow through smart investments and aggressive growth processes. The company is also being proactive about cutting expenses in order to maximize its margins.
American Express in 2011
Last year, the company achieved strong growth with strong fundamentals. Compared to 2010, American Express earned 22% more, while the company’s revenues increased by only 9%. The fact that the company was able to grow its earnings 250% faster than its revenues tells us a story about its cost-cutting strategies and the impressive margins that have resulted from such strategies. The company’s goal was to post EPS growth of 12%-15%, and the company beat this by a large margin. Another impressive number for American Express was its rate of return on equity, which stood at 28%.
In average, each American Express member spent
A Lot To Like About Statoil’s Growth Prospects
By Jacob Steinberg:
Statoil (STO) is one of the largest publicly traded oil companies in the world. Initially founded to explore and develop oil in and around Norway, the company quickly started to take part in oil projects far away from the country in order to diversify its portfolio, and as a result it became one of the major players in the global oil industry.
Reserve Replacement Ratio
As oil reserves near Norway started to diminish, the company was forced to find new oil fields around the world. In 2008, the company’s reserve replacement ratio was only 34%, well below the other oil giants. In 2009, this number improved to 73%, then to 87% in 2010. The company achieved a reserve replacement ratio of 117% in 2011.
Reserve replacement ratio refers to a company’s ability to replace the oil it extracted by discovering or acquiring new oil reserves. Ideally this number should be
Car Collectibles Showing Huge GrowthThese Cheap Small-Cap Stocks Could Deliver Safe Growth
The status of many global economies is in flux right now. I recently looked at several foreign economies that could be headed toward a downward spiral and how it could affect your portfolio.
As a result, companies that have fairly minimal foreign exposure may have the most robust near-term prospects. The U.S. economy may not be the picture of health, but possible 2% gross domestic product growth in 2012 looks a lot better than many of our key trading partners.
The companies with greatest domestic exposure are likely to have small market capitalizations. These firms, (which I define as having market values between $ 200 million and $ 1.5 billion) are often too small to staff a set of foreign sales offices, and their lack of foreign exposure looks like a real plus right now.
I went looking for small-cap stocks that appear poised for solid sales growth in 2012 and again in 2013. I removed any companies form the list that derive more than 20% of sales from foreign markets. Lastly, it pays to be sensitive to valuations at this tricky time in the market. Each stock on the list trades for less than 12 times projected 2013 profits.
