PKY: Insiders vs. Shorts

Leave a comment

By DividendChannel.com

The most recent short interest data was recently released by the NASDAQ for the 07/15/2013 settlement date, and Parkway Properties Inc. (NYSE: PKY) is one of the most shorted stocks of the Russell 3000, based on 6.26 “days to cover” versus the median component at 5.53. There are a number of ways to look at short data, but one metric that we find particularly useful is the “days to cover” because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. The number of shares short is then divided by the average daily volume, to express the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. …read more

Better-Than-Expected Jobs Data Can't Save Intel Stock

Leave a comment

By Matt Thalman, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

This morning the Department of Labor released its weekly jobless-claims report, and the numbers were better than analysts had expected. After a big jump to 388,000 claims two weeks ago, only 346,000 individuals sought support last week week, whereas economists were expecting the figure to drop to 365,000. The four-week moving average actually rose by 3,000, to 358,000, and while the report was better than expected, the number of jobless claims remains heightened.

Despite the report, the markets are moving higher today. As of 12:55 p.m. EDT the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 64 points, or 0.43%, while the S&P 500 has risen 0.41%. The NASDAQ has struggled today, but it’s currently about a point north of breakeven.

The main cause for the NASDAQ‘s sluggishness is a report by the IDC indicating that in the first quarter of 2013, personal-computer shipments fell by 13.9%. Analysts had forecast a decline of 7.7%, and some had felt even that was too harsh an outlook. The reality, however, makes that forecast look downright rosy. This quarterly decline also marked the fourth consecutive year-over-year decline in shipments, and many believe this trend will continue.

The report has caused a number of PC-related stocks to fall today. Because it is easily the industry leader when it comes to PC chips and receives much of its revenue from PC sales, Intel has seen its stock drop 2.7% today.

Shares of Hewlett-Packard have fallen 6.5% today. The dogged company’s turnaround had seemed to be proceeding smoothly, but today’s report is a major blow to HP‘s hopes. HP makes a sizable chunk of its revenue from the sale of PCs, and if that part of its business falls apart, the whole turnaround story may crumble as well.

Lastly, shares of Microsoft have also bombed today, down 4.9%. The IDC report confirms that new PCs are not selling, and therefore Microsoft’s newest operating system, Windows 8, is likely performing even worse than thought. Prior to the launch of Windows 8, a number of industry experts believed that new operating system would help move new computers, and many computer manufacturers had pinned their hopes on the success of the software.

More foolish insight
When it comes to dominating markets, it doesn’t get much better than Intel’s position in the PC microprocessor arena. However, that market is maturing, and Intel must find new avenues for growth. In this premium research report on Intel, our analyst runs through all of the key topics investors should understand about the chip giant. Click here now to learn more.
