Motorola Q1 Earnings, Nokia’s Patterns and Apple

Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 24, 2008 – 10:47 pm

[Written by our financial expert, MH]

Finally we had Motorola Results, that were worst than what I was thinking of, and with that Motorola will probably continue going to lower levels.

Let me resume the story and tell you what really happened and why Motorola stocks (NYSE:MOT) didn’t fall more than 3%. and why they can tomorrow fall more than that.

In the first three months of 2008 Motorola said its loss widened to $194 million, or 9 cents a share, from a year-earlier loss of $181 million, or 8 cents a share. Sales dropped 21% to $7.45 billion from $9.43 billion.
Excluding one-time costs, Motorola would have lost 5 cents a share. On that basis, analysts were expected the company to lose 7 cents a share on revenue of $7.84 billion.
In the current second quarter, Motorola estimated it would lose 2 cents to 4 cents a share from operations, compared with Wall Street’s consensus prediction that the company would break even.
Motorola shipped 27.4 million wireless handsets in the first quarter, down from 40.9 million in the prior quarter and from its all-time high of 65.7 million in the 2006 fourth quarter. Wall Street was expecting the company to ship as many as 31 million.
The company’s global share has fallen to below 10% from nearly 23% in late 2006.
The handset division posted an operating loss of $418 million, compared with an operating loss of $233 million a year ago. The division lost $1.2 billion in all of 2007.
Mobile sales fell 39% to $3.3 billion from the year-ago quarter. The mobile unit accounted for just 44% of total sales, compared with as much as two-thirds of Motorola’s revenue just a few years ago.
EVERY THING FELL. Worst it couldn’t be, and I woudn’t be long on MOT stocks. The analysts’ reaction was truly bad, and Zacks Rank, the guys I follow have a Sell Rate to Motorola.
Today, Motorola shares didn’t fall much more mainly because all technological stocks were touching new relative highs, monthly or yearly highs as Apple, which made to day a very beautiful candle (on technical analysis).
But, in the other hand, Nokia also followed Motorola’s way touching new yearly lows at 28,28, but again doing the Doji Pattern (a pattern of recovering) as it done two days ago.
The THING right now that we need to watch is what Nokia will do, will their shares follow Motorola? Or, will they fight against the storm?

Apple iPhone vs Nokia N93 camera comparison

Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 16, 2008 – 9:15 pm

This is one interesting test. I never lay my hands on an iPhone yet, in South Africa they aren’t sold, but I do hate the useless hype that went on about it, not even the N95 had so much “excitement”, of course in the Symbian communities there was a lot of expectation, which was fulfilled.

Well one of my friends was bragging as two or three of his friends do have the iPhone, and that the camera quality is awesome, because of this and that. I was pretty convinced that it was simply because the viewfinder is much bigger than any usual phone. He even said that the photo quality is better than the N73’s, which I simply could not believe.

Thankfully, Mazor from Symbian-Freak forums has put the Apple iPhone to the test against the Nokia N93, which we know is a legendary camera phone.

So, head over to SF, and enjoy the article!
