- Monday, September 26, 2011, 10:00 AM Shares of AboveNet (ABVT +5.5%) get a lift from Raymond James with an upgrade to Strong Buy from Outperform. The company looks to benefit from the cloud market indirectly with a new agreement with Amazon (AMZN +2.1%) allowing customers to circumvent the internet and connect directly to Amazon's data centers via its fiber optic network. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 3:18 PM Nvidia (NVDA +8.2%) continues trading higher after issuing strong FY13 revenue guidance. Wells Fargo is lifting its estimates, and thinks Nvidia's guidance has positive implications for the PC demand environment. Meanwhile, Roth Capital expects the company's Tegra chips to power Amazon's (AMZN) upcoming Android tablets. Rival AMD is up 7.5%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, August 31, 2011, 3:39 PM The latest Kindle (AMZN +1.8%) killer - this time from Sony (SNE -0.5%) - is light, easy-to-navigate and feature-rich, says a TechCrunch review. But will it unseat Amazon and Barnes and Noble's (BKS +1.8%) stranglehold on e-readers? Probably not, but the upgrade in design and form will keep the market percolating with innovation. 1 Comment [On the Move, Tech]
- Monday, August 29, 2011, 2:20 PM Nordstrom (JWN +5.6%) begins offering free shipping and returns for all purchases made online. The cost of shipping is seen by many shoppers as a big drawback of shopping online, but free shipping is a risk to store margins. Only a few big-name retailers offer free shipping with no strings attached; Amazon (AMZN) offers it on orders of $25 or more. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, August 23, 2011, 1:17 PM The risk trade is on today (equities are surging, gold is down, and long-term Treasurys are slightly lower). And that means high-growth, high-beta Internet and cloud computing stocks are among the day's big winners. AMZN +6.2%. RAX +6%. EQIX +6.6%. BIDU +5.9%. CRM +5.1%. APKT +6.3%. SFLY +8%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, August 4, 2011, 1:41 PM Electronics store chain hhgregg (HGG) loses 12.6% after reporting FQ1 revenue of $431.5M (-1% Y/Y) and EPS of -$0.02, below a consensus of $478.1M and $0.01. Same-store sales fell 13.2%. William Blair had previously singled out hhgregg as being particularly at risk of losing market share to Amazon (AMZN). Rival BBY is down 5.3%. Comment! [Consumer, Earnings, On the Move]
- Monday, August 1, 2011, 6:58 AM Amazon (AMZN) +1.3% premarket, possibly getting the bounce off Barron's bullish call on the stock. 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 28, 2011, 3:36 PM Overstock.com (OSTK) isn't sharing in eBay (EBAY) and Amazon's (AMZN) Q2 success: shares are down 9.7% after the company reported Q2 revenue and EPS of $235M (up just 2% Y/Y) and -$0.34, below a consensus of $242.1M and -$0.17. Free cash flow for the quarter was -$16.7M. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 9:57 AM Morgan Stanley's Scott Devitt thinks Amazon's (AMZN +5.7%) surging revenues put it right around where Wal-Mart (WMT) was in 1991. Only he thinks Amazon's story is better, due to the company's business model "allowing it to participate in a transition of physical to digital retail" that can produce "higher long-term economic returns." Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 9:08 AM Analysts are lifting their targets for Amazon (AMZN) following its Q2 beat and strong Q3 guidance. Citi notes Q2 featured Amazon's fastest growth in a decade, and argues the company's operating margin only fell due to R&D and Fulfillment spending that's "creating even deeper moats." AMZN +5.1% premarket, putting its market cap above $100B for the first time. (transcript) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move, Quick Ideas]

[On the Move] - Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 4:14 PM More on Amazon.com (AMZN) earnings: Worldwide media sales up 27% to $3.66B; Worldwide Electronics sales up 69% to $5.89B. Kindle sales growth sped up sequentially and the Kindle store has more than 950K books. North America and international sales both up 51% Y/Y. Shares now up 5.2% AH. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 4:04 PM Amazon.com (AMZN): Q2 EPS of $0.41 beats by $0.06. Revenue of $9.9B (up 51% Y/Y) beats by $0.5B. Expects sharply lower operating income in Q3 of $20M to $170M, but revenues of $10.3B-$11.1B vs. $10.35B. Shares +1.3% AH. (PR) 5 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Monday, July 25, 2011, 2:21 PM Amazon.com (AMZN) halts sales of Nintendo's (NTDOY.PK -1.8%) 3DS handheld game device due to a potential flaw: "There may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it’s described here." Could be construction flaws, though one analyst thinks it's the device's streaming services like Netflix (NFLX) that Amazon has trouble with. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 21, 2011, 9:47 AM More on the New York Times' (NYT) Q2 results: Revenue missed consensus by $0.7M, and digital ad revenue was up only 2.6% Y/Y. However, digital subscriptions grew to 224K, up from 100K in April. In addition, the company has 57K in subscriptions for platforms such as Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle. Shares +6.8%. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings, On the Move]
- Wednesday, July 20, 2011, 9:51 AM Amazon (AMZN) and CBS ink a deal to allow Amazon Prime customers - at no extra charge - to stream TV shows from the broadcaster's content library. Additionally, movies and TV shows from CBS will be available for all Amazon customers to purchase or rent. CBS +2.7%. NFLX -2%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Breaking News]
