5:39 PM Red Hat (RHT) guides on its FQ1 call for FQ2 EPS of $0.32-$0.33 and FY13 EPS of $1.31-$1.35, in-line with Street estimates of $0.33 and $1.34 and better than feared. Aided by strong demand from telco and cloud customers, FQ1 billings rose 14% Y/Y, a solid improvement from the 9% FQ4 growth that had disappointed some investors. Deferred revenue balance -3% Q/Q and +16% Y/Y to $1.06B, and $179M was spent on buybacks. Shares +3.9% AH, thanks in part to low expectations. (PR) (yesterday) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]

5:26 PM Wedbush likes Owens Corning (OC) despite "gyrations" tied to the "timing and pace of new residential construction." The logic behind analyst Al Kaschalk's initiation is a bit heavy, but in sum: The company's margins in the roofing segment are supported by reasonable pricing and "strong positioning", Composite margins are set to expand, and "cadence" regarding the Insulation segment (see Q1 earnings PR for more) is positive. OC initiated at Outperform with a $50 PT. Comment!
