Diamond Offshore and Noble Corp: Drilling Profits http://seekingalpha.com/article/141855-diamond-offshore-and-noble-corp-drilling-profits?source=feed#comment-624468 624468 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 06:28:32 -0400
Unfortunately, I was not following those companies during the time period you mentioned. So I can only venture a guess. There can be several reasons for this outperformance.

As you can see, the DO's earnings shot up from 2003 to 2006. The expectation for future growth was probably responsible for the price differential.

I would have a question.

In the two years of 2004 and 2005 Diamond significantly outperformed Noble:

Prices January 2, 2004 January 3, 2006 Change
NE 17.80 37.31 110%
DO 20.48 72.83 255%

I think the earnings do not justify this difference:

Earnings 2003 2004 2005 2006
NE 0.63 0.54 1.08 2.66
DO -0.37 -0.06 1.91 5.12

What is the reason for this?
I would appreciate your opinion.]]>

What will be different?

The estimates that I use are consensus estimates. I do not use estimates from a single source. For example, in the case of Corning, the estimates were an average of 18 analysts. I can assure you that all the 18 analysts do not and will not have a BUY rating on the stock at the same time. Also, I have access to only 1 analyst research report and he currently has a HOLD rating on the stock. Even if you assume that all the analysts have a BUY rating, the chances that they would have the same price target is remote. I like the idea of coming up with my own entry and exit points instead of relying on a single source.

In performing my analysis, I first select stocks based on a certain criteria (see my profile for further details) and then I study the 10k filings and the annual reports. I also analyze the historical performance, company fundamentals, micro and macro factors and finally develop a multiple based on relative valuation analysis. At this stage I use the average analyst estimate to obtain my price targets.

Aside from the points mentioned above, my articles basically serve as a means of saving my research and thoughts, and I am grateful to the SA Editors for offering me an opportunity to share them in public. I do respect your opinion and you have every right to disagree with my views.

Corning: Better Days Ahead http://seekingalpha.com/article/140343-corning-better-days-ahead?source=feed#comment-524653 524653 Sat, 30 May 2009 20:41:49 -0400
Usually a Buy rating is given after doing your own model for residual earnings where you forecast earnings based on your assumptions of growth drivers going forward. If you take the analysts' estimates of earnings, you are implicitly taking their assumptions. You have no idea what those assumptions are, so why are you giving a buy rating to the company?

Im pretty sure if you check the Analysts' own recommendations, you will see they have the exact recommendation you do because you are both using the exact same numbers...

What do you see growth rate in Japan? As reported, Japan market is not growing both overall and for Coach. Also the number of stores in Japan would be getting maximum, would not match distribution growth. Organic growth would also be questioned.
I see only potential growth other market than Japan outside US.
Any comment?]]>
