Stock tip PIXR

[Lestat]

dropped 12%+ today due to DVD returns.

I'd say this is a HOT pick right now for both long and short term investors.

Buy it and put a stop loss in and you could easily make 1-2 points per share when the market opens up next week.

Or hold it for the long haul and look for 5-10 points over 1-3 years.

they don't have anything in the forecast do they? U think maybe wait awhile?

 

[Alright123]

I have a feeling this stock will go back up on tuesday.

 

[flex229]

so you are saying that the 12% drop in share price is due to the fact that the market overreacted to the news that DVD returns will cut into earnings?

and you believe that because the market overreacted, then it will compensate Tuesday at market open and thus the price per share will return to near previous levels?

 

[Alright123]

lestat, you made any money on this today ? It's up 80 cents currently.

Not So Incredible? [Fool.com: Motley Fool Take] July 1, 2005

http://www.fool.com/news/mft/2005/mft05070102.htm

By Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMF Edible)

So this is what it feels like to miss. After watching Motley Fool Stock Advisor pick Pixar (Nasdaq: PIXR) trounce analyst forecasts over the past few years, the company's performance has finally been lapped by Wall Street's estimations. Last night, the company warned that it was looking to earn just $0.10 a share for its second quarter, a nickel off its original projection.

Even though The Incredibles has become the top-selling video and DVD of 2005, the title isn't selling as briskly as the company had expected. It's reminiscent of what happened to rival DreamWorks Animation (NYSE: DWA) earlier this year, when Shrek 2 was facing a bigger wave of retail returns than the computer animation specialist had expected.

Pixar's new bottom-line target turned off investors. The stock was off by more than 10% in after-hours trading on the news. Disney (NYSE: DIS), Pixar's partner on The Incredibles and the recipient of half of the film's profits, found its stock barely touched.

Personally, I dig moments like these. If you've been standing on the sidelines, feeling that Pixar's run had priced the stock out of your desired price range, now would be a good time to take a closer look.

Pixar's financials are never going to be smooth. This is a hits-driven business and the revenue streams aren't going to flow into all four quarters evenly. More importantly, few investors were buying Pixar for its second-quarter performance. Many have already turned their attention to the company's next theatrical release -- Cars -- while others are looking beyond that to the day when Pixar will be free of its current profit-sharing pact with Disney.

Pixar can't lose on that front. Sure, it can still sign a new deal with Disney. If so, it is likely to involve retaining the ownership rights to older properties while commanding a much larger share of future profits. If Pixar and Disney part ways, the company's reputation for quality and its string of consecutive hits make it one of the most dependable bets in celluloid.

It might not be a bad time to don your bathing suit and go for a dip.

Long term, Pixar has great profit margins.

Short term, they need to produce more movies

There is a little rule of thumb up here on wall street that goes "avoid taking any action for 30 days after an earnings miss."

I'd hold off for a bit. In the long term it might do well, but in the short term, it still looks volatile.

 

[Devastation]

cramer always says that too

 

[sawastea]

Yes he does. Jim used to work @ Goldman Sachs as a hedge fund manager. I haven't seen his show in a few months. Still on CNBC?

 

[bran987]

earnings misses are usually a multiple quarter event

yes cramer is on CNBC 3 times/day being a complete psycho
