Level II shows some big block of purchase in the last 30 minutes, Institutional Investors must buy a lot of shares today. Usually the upgrade by analysts will follow the big positive shock of the earning. It is so rediculous that Morgan Stanley's analyst downgrade LAZ and insiste that the earning is 34cents. I bet that analyst get fired. Check your I-watch chart, it shows 50% transactions are from Institution. Tomorrow may have upgrade news, I am holding my shares tight, not selling it under $30.

Stocks showing interesting activity yesterday at the close of the regular trading day were: Sohu.com Inc. (NASDAQ: SOHU) down 2.1% on 1.6 million shares traded, Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE: FSL) up 0.7% on 1.9 million shares traded, Flextronics (NASDAQ: FLEX) up 3.5% on 11.3 million shares traded and Silicon Laboratories Inc. (NASDAQ: SLAB) up 0.7% on 1.7 million shares traded.

Nov 9. Flextronics (nasdaq: FLEX - news - people ) will host a meeting with analysts tomorrow during market hours. Earlier today, Bear Stearns said it expects management to address the overall tone of end-markets, particularly the consumer market, given the upcoming holiday shopping season. "While business with Sony Ericcson has been good, we believe Flextronics needs to address its competitive positioning in handsets in light of the recent defections of business from both Siemens (nyse: SI - news - people ) and Alcatel (nyse: ALA - news - people )," wrote analyst Thomas Hopkins, in a note to clients. "We would also like to get more detail on its pipeline of signed outsourcing (outside of Nortel (nyse: NT - news - people ) and Kyocera (nyse: KYO - news - people )), which includes over $2 billion annually in storage, servers and laser-printing deals." The analyst maintained an "outperform" rating on the stock with a price target of $16. "We maintain that Flextronics is oversold, trading at a 27% discount to the group and competitors, like Sanmina-SCI (nasdaq: SANM - news - people ), which have a riskier outlook," he said.


Banc of America Securities analyst Scott D. Craig said Flextronics International (nasdaq: FLEX - news - people ) "remains well positioned for long-term success with new programs ramping in 2006."

Craig wrote in a research report that Flextronics' revenue trends "appear to have stabilized." "We believe Flextronics' revenue is tracking at least in line with expectations. Long-term, Flextronics targets 10% to 15% revenue growth and we estimate fiscal 2007 revenue to grow 6% compared with consensus of 10%," he said.

Very strong and positive forecast on the AIRT business growing from CEO's statement y

Very strong and positive forecast on the AIRT business growing from CEO's statement yesterday.

Consolidated revenues increased $1,770,000 (10.8%) to $18,136,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues was primarily related to increased flight and maintenance services, in part due to placement of newer ATR aircraft into revenue service, and acquisition of aircraft parts which was primarily associated with the transition to the newer ATR aircraft. The majority of the quarter's revenues increase was comprised of direct operating costs, passed through to the Company's air cargo customer without markup.

Walter Clark, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air T, stated, "We are proud of our team at Global, who have worked hard to see the deicing booms returned to service at the Philadelphia airport. We recognize that our decision to take the lead in this effort has had an adverse short-term effect on our financial results, but believe that as a long-term matter we need to stand behind the products that we sell. We will continue to pursue our legal action against the subcontractor that designed, manufactured and warranted these products to recover these and other costs."

Oil price keep going down and should relieve air line industry pain by a certain level. AIRT definately benifit on this. Take a look at WLDAE now, similar indutry with high growth and solid business. AIRT does not compete directly with WLDA, but the number can reflect some good signal.

I am in AIRT here, technical showing bottom form at $10 level and has uptrend graph. should see short term momentum with good financial in 2Q.

In SCS and CHB here. Both of them have very attractive financial ratios and technical trend.

SCS,Steelcase, Inc. engages in the design and manufacture of office furniture, primarily in United States and Canada, as well as internationally. SCS ranked 3 by valuengien.com and give and Timeliness 1 and Technical 1 (highest) from Valueline, and 3 starts from morningstar with a fairvalue of $15.00. Valuengien gives 6-Month 1.30% return. My target of SCS is $18.

The office furniture market has been showing signs of life recently. Given its leading market position, Steelcase is poised for a turnaround in its sales growth and profit margins, as its customer base tends to more sharply increase office furniture purchases during better economic environments (partially because of postponing purchases during lean times). Steelcase is the world's largest office furniture manufacturer, it will definately take advantage of this office furniture business booming.

CHB, Champion Enterprises, Inc. engages in the production and sale of factory-built homes. It produces a range of homes, including multisection, ranch-style homes, one-half story and two-story homes, single-section homes, cape cod style homes, and multifamily units, such as townhouses.CHB ranked 3 by valuengien.com and give and Timeliness 1 and Technical 2 from Valueline, Valuengien gives 6-Month 4.16% return. Hurricane Katrina relief and reconstruction will bring huge business to CHB in the short run. My target of CHB is $20.

The company should post a hefty year-over-year share-net advance in 2005. Champion reported a 58% jump in earnings for the September interim, on a considerably more modest 6.4% top-line advance. Notably, CHB's average selling price increased by 11% during the quarter, as the company passed on higher raw material and transportation costs to its customers. This, in conjunction with ongoing operational restructuring actions, augurs well for additional margin improvement over the balance of the year and into next. Moreover, the company recently received a $60 million order for 2,000 single-section manufactured homes from FEMA, in connection with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, which should lift CHB's top and bottom lines during the final stanza of 2005. Excluding the FEMA order, Champion's backlog at the end of the third quarter was up 47%, relative to the year-ago figure. However, with the FEMA request taken into account, third-quarter backlog jumped an impressive 97%. All told, we look for Champion to report 2005 earnings of about $0.52 a share, with a strong double-digit advance the following year.

Champion stock is a top selection for year-ahead relative price action. The company seems on track to post a significant rebound in share earnings this year with double-digit growth thereafter.
 
Comment on SCS

Comment on SCS

The company continues to benefit from the strong demand in the office furniture arena. The improving fundamentals within the commercial furniture market are being driven by the steady growth in corporate profits and related capital expenditure. The company has continued to directly benefit from this upturn, as has been demonstrated by the solid year-to-year revenue and profit advances in recent months, which has been primarily driven by Steelcase's large corporate customers. Management notes that the North American segment (57% of revenues) remains the strongest contributor to revenue and profit enhancement. This is thanks mainly to solid results at the company's Turnstone subsidiary, which is outpacing the overall market in terms of year-over-year growth. Although the effects of recent hurricanes have created some challenges, the company has addressed these issues. The negative variances that have resulted from the devastating storms are not likely to have any material effect on earnings.

Company's margins to continue to widen over the next few years. Steelcase's efforts to improve its cost structure are paying off. Plant consolidation and workforce reductions have supplemented revenue growth and enabled margins to expand considerably. This trend to continue, as management notes that the company remains committed to cost restraint. Recent list price adjustments should further bolster the top line, offsetting the high cost of raw materials. Indeed, analysts looking for the operating margin to increase by as much as 440 basis points by the end of fiscal 2006.

Steelcase shares are timely. The stock's appreciation potential out to 2008-2010 is in line with the Value Line median. Strengthening demand, coupled with the company's solid brand recognition, should further enhance revenues. Too, it is optimistic that the company's efforts to maximize productivity are likely to improve efficiency and drive profits over the next 3 to 5 years. Income-oriented investors may find the dividend yield appealing.

in GYMB here, aiming for $25 target as momentum going on. Valuengien 6 month return 3%. Valueline rank Timeliness 1 and Technical 2 on it with target $30.

Gymboree's new outlet stores will likely improve inventory management.Given that Janie and Jack merchandise can sell at price points that are 40% higher than those at Gymboree, average selling prices and profit margins should improve.The high-end children's apparel market is growing rapidly as more parents are having babies later in life, when they have more income to spend on their children's clothes.

According to U.S. Census Bureau projections, the number of children age 5 and younger will grow 10% over the next 10 years, compared with 8% total population growth.

Same-store sales increased 10% as the retailer's fall merchandise was well received by consumers, despite growing macroeconomic concerns. Gymboree has managed its inventory well this season and anticipate fewer markdowns compared with last year, when fall merchandise was introduced too early. Furthermore, the retailer is taking the right steps to reduce product costs (from design to sourcing to packaging), and analysts expect gross margins to increase in the second half of the year. Gymboree is on track to improve upon its disappointing 2004 holiday season. Analysts remain comfortable with revenue growth and profitability projections over the next five years.
