Lots of earning to run through tonight.. i’ll be fairly brief. Lots of research to do and new features to implement over at the member site. Once again I start with companies with the best fundamental score and will then highlight the best of the rest (Note: these scores don’t include the latest results)<\/p>\n
Companies with Fundamental score of [26\/30]<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Satyam Computer (SAY),<\/strong> the Indian outsourcer reported earnings and revenues that beat analyst estimates handily with revenue and net profit increasing 34% from the year ago period. Satyam looks very good technically and may bounce nicely off the 50 day moving average tomorrow. However this is a group that is very week. Its competitors (INFY, WIT, CTSH) all look more and more like short opportunities every day.<\/p>\n Amgen (AMGN)<\/strong> is getting hit in after hours trading after posting revenue growth below estimates. Excluding one time charges the company posted earnings of .85\/share which beat analyst estimates of .83\/share as well as the whisper number of .84\/share. That’s a 33% increase over the year ago period. The problem is in the revenue, which just missed analyst estimates by 40 million and rose by just 16% from the year ago period. It marks the first time in several years that the company posted quarter over quarter revenue growth below 20%.<\/p>\n Navteq Corp (NVT),<\/strong> a GPS maps\/navigation company, beat revenue estimates, but missed on earnings by a penny when excluding a one time tax benefit.

This is an incredibly consistent company and this kind of result has been automatic for the last several years. The stock is currently forming a good looking long shallow base.<\/p>\n Labor Ready (LRW) [24\/30] <\/strong>beat both revenue and earnings estimates with growth in earnings and revenue of 40% and 22% respectively. The stock is soaring over 25% after hours<\/strong>. The didn’t blow out estimates, so not sure why the steep rise, but gross margins continued to improve in the quarter and also raised guidance.<\/p>\n Harman Intl (HAR) [24\/30] <\/strong>blew out estimates and beat by .12\/share, but revenue growth continues to come in on the light side with quarter over quarter growth of just 9%. Revenue was shy of estimates. But appears Wall St. likes the earnings as well as in the increased guidance for ’06. The stock is up over $4 and may break out of consolidation tomorrow.<\/p>\n Covance (CVD) [24\/30],<\/strong> a contract pharma testing company, posted earnings growth of 24% (in line) on revenue growth of 15%. Margins increased and the company raised guidance for ’05. Results this quarter were solid, but it marked the end of 5 straight quarters of accelerating earnings and revenue growth.
