Analyst Update: Monthly Sales Report, Quarterly Earnings, and Contracts
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
It's almost a week into the New Year now and global market sell-off shows no signs of easing yet. The U.S. markets fell again on Tuesday, January 6, with S&P 500 index continuing its southward journey for the fifth consecutive session. Steadily declining oil prices and uncertainty ahead of the Greek vote which may determine Greece's future in the Eurozone kept global investors jittery. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session lower by 0.74% at 17,371.64, the S&P 500 ended 0.89% down at 2,002.46, and the Nasdaq Composite finished 1.29% down at 4,592.74. The European markets also closed lower on Tuesday as Euro slumped to nine-year low levels against the greenback, driven by the concerns over political turmoil in Greece. Meanwhile, Asian markets were also under pressure on Tuesday as Eurozone worries coupled with growth concerns over China rattled investors.
Shares of the U.S.-based retailer JC Penney Company, Inc. (JC Penney) jumped over 17% in the after-hours trading on Tuesday, January 6, as the Company said that its fourth quarter 2014 comparable store sales would come in at the upper end of expectations. Buoyed by the strong holiday season sales, JC Penney expects sales for the quarter to grow at higher end of the previously forecasted range of 2-4%. For a comprehensive view of the JC Penney's holiday season performance, please visit our exclusive research report.
Walgreen Co. (Walgreens), now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the newly created Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. following the acquisition of Swiss company Alliance Boots, has reported 10.2% YoY growth in December 2014 sales at $7.9 billion. Strong pharmacy sales and a calendar shift helped the Company's comparable store sales rise 9.2% in December. Know more about Walgreens' performance in December 2014 in our complete research report.
U.S.-based drive-in restaurants chain Sonic Corporation (Sonic) reported first quarter fiscal 2015 results that topped Wall Street expectations, sending the shares up by over 5% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, January 6. Continue reading about Sonic's financial performance in Q1 FY 2015 versus market expectations in our exclusive research report.
Commercial Metals Company (Commercial Metals) has reported first quarter fiscal 2015 net income that beats the market expectations despite declining scrap prices, a three week planned outage at its minimill in Poland and fewer shipping days compared to the year ago period. Read further on Commercial Metals' Q1 FY 2015 performance with second quarter outlook in our detailed research report.
Shares of Command Security Corporation (Command Security) jumped nearly 56% on Tuesday, January 6, after the Company announced that it has bagged two United States Postal Service (USPS) contracts valued at approximately $250 million over a ten year term of service.
