Tuesday, April 23, 11:58 AM Illinois Tool Works (ITW) +3.1%) moves up on a mixed Q1 report that came in line on a per share basis but short on revenue. Net profit fell 27% Y/Y, as losses from discontinued operations and weaker organic revenue weighed on its bottom line. Investors appear to be taking a narrow improvement in current quarter revenue guidance to lift the shares higher today. The company now expects Q2 revenue to increase between 2.5% to 3.5%, while analysts had been anticipating a 3% revenue decline. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]

Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 11:42 AM Many U.S. firms are cash rich abroad but cash poor at home, and the SEC worries they aren’t presenting investors with an honest appraisal of their liquidity. “That doesn’t mean they could suddenly run out of money to pay their bills," WSJ's Kate Linebaugh writes.
