Beacon Equity Research announces the release of Trade Alerts covering newsworthy market movers: Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK), The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO), Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT), The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) and Broadcom Corp. (Nasdaq: BRCM).
In the Trade Alert, the author highlights Merck’s first-quarter results:
“Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK) shares fell 5.79% to $23.76 midday today. Merck & Co. (Merck) is a global research-driven pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets a range of products to improve human and animal health. Shares of the New Jersey-based drugmaker were driven low after the company reported its first-quarter results, which fell short of what the market expected. … Hurt by slumping sales, the company reported first quarter EPS of 74 cents, ex-items, missing consensus analyst estimates of 77 cents. Revenues declined 7.5% year-over-year to $5.39 billion, missing consensus estimates of $5.77 billion. … According to the report, sales of Singulair, the company's biggest product, fell 4% in the first quarter to $1.1 billion.”
The Trade Alert author also featured Coca-Cola’s first-quarter profit decreasing 10%:
“The Coca-Cola Company (KO) shares slipped 2.17% to $43.36 midday today. The Coca-Cola Company manufactures, distributes and markets nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups worldwide. It principally offers sparkling and still beverages. The world's largest beverage maker recently announced its quarter profit fell 10%, citing restructuring charges and write-downs. … For the period ended April 3, the Atlanta-based company reported that its net income slipped to $1.35 billion, or 58 cents per share, from $1.5 billion, or 64 cents per share, a year ago. Meanwhile, sales fell 3% to $7.17 billion, lower than Wall Street estimates of $7.36 billion. … Excluding restructuring charges, write-downs and other items, the company would have earned $1.51 billion, or 65 cents per share, meeting the expectations of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.”
