Recent News   Fundamental Analysis   Analyst Recommendation  
http://suprastock.blogspot.com/2010/06/top-10-fastest-growing... http://suprastock.blogspot.com/ THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) is the 5th fastest-growing stock in this segment of the market. Its long-term annual EPS growth is expected to be 19.3%. This number is based on the average estimate of 7 brokerage analyst(s).

Update 07/02:
http://suprastock.blogspot.com/2010/07/stock-picks-for-friday... http://suprastock.blogspot.com/ There is a possibility of a double bottom formation in THQ Inc (THQI: 4.2701+0.0901 +2.16%). The divergence in MACD is pretty impressive and I also see the stochastic indicator suggesting an extreme oversold condition.

Update 07/11:
http://suprastock.blogspot.com/2010/07/stock-picks-for-monday... http://suprastock.blogspot.com/ THQ Inc (THQI: 4.43 +0.08 +1.84%) is bouncing off lows that were set this week and could be ready to move much higher. There is a good chance the stock will move higher next week. Resistance is $4.44, which reflects Friday’s high of the day. There could be very good upside in this trade, so keep a close eye on THQI for Monday.

Update 07/14:
http://suprastock.blogspot.com/2010/07/stock-picks-for-wednes... http://suprastock.blogspot.com/ THQ Inc (THQI: 4.78 +0.41 +9.38%) has been in a strong downtrend the past few weeks, but could have found a bottom at these levels. Today, the stock was one of the few bright spots, as the stock closed up $.45 on the day. If the stock can break through $4.88, we should see a high volume upside move. Technically the stock now shows positive sign as the stock is now trading above 20 day moving average with KD rising. I will watch the stock closely on Wednesday and buy once it breaks through resistance.

Recent News   Fundamental Analysis   Analyst Recommendation  
http://suprastock.blogspot.com/2010/06/stock-picks-directv-in... http://suprastock.blogspot.com/ Sonic Corp.: Morgan Keegan equity analyst Robert Derrington kept a market perform rating on shares of Sonic Corp. (SONC), the largest U.S. chain of drive-in restaurants, on June 22. In a note, Derrington said Sonic's third-quarter earnings per share [EPS) of 18%, posted after the close of trading June 21, missed his estimate of 19%, reflecting lower-than-expected total revenue compounded by worse-than-projected restaurant and operating margins. Derrington said Sonic's system sales had improved from March to April but deteriorated again in May. The analyst said "intense" industry competition, high unemployment, and volatile commodity prices "continue to frustrate" management's efforts at stabilizing Sonic's operating trends. He lowered his fiscal 2010 [ending August) EPS estimate to 50% from 51%. He maintained a fiscal 2011 EPS estimate of 62%.

http://suprastock.blogspot.com/2010/06/stock-picks-directv-in... http://suprastock.blogspot.com/ irecTV: Wunderlich Securities equity analyst Matthew Harrigan maintained a buy rating and $46 price target on shares of DirecTV (DTV) on June 22. In a brief note, Harrigan said the largest U.S. satellite TV provider "still commands [a) halo with consumers." Following three years of "relative quiescence" for new product introductions, DirecTV will benefit from multiroom viewing capability of new equipment, the introduction of 3D channels, the growth of DirecTV Cinema, and the launch of a networked home media center. The analyst said competitor DISH Network's (DISH) "Free HD for Life" promotion "will emerge as only short-term noise."

Update 08/11:
http://suprastock.blogspot.com/2010/08/top-10-broadcasting-st... DIRECTV (NASDAQ:DTV) has the 2nd highest Return on Equity in this segment of the market. Its ROE was 47.42% for the last 12 months. Its net profit margin was 6.58% for the same period.
