Microsoft Posts Fiscal Second-Quarter Results; Shares Remain Cheap
Microsoft reported fiscal second-quarter results that showed a slowdown in PC sales due to the Thailand flooding but operating-income improvement in its Server/Tools segment and Business Division. We maintain the firm's shares are significantly undervalued.

Google's Fourth-Quarter Misses on European Weakness, Ad Pricing Declines
Google reported disappointing fourth-quarter results that showed modest earnings expansion and lower revenue from its advertisements (cost-per-click). We think such a let-down was driven by a heightened competitive environment for advertising and general weakness in Europe.

Lack of Winter Weather Hits Dick’s Sporting Goods and Big 5; We’re Not Fans of Either
We take a look at two sporting goods retailers. Dick's Sporting Goods' risk/reward isn't that compelling at this time, while Big 5 is getting cheap again, and its dividend could pay you to wait out the storm.

Lennar's Order and Backlog Growth Impressive; Housing Market on the Mend
Homebuilder Lennar reported fourth-quarter results that showed solid increases in new home orders and backlog. Though its financial services and distressed asset management arms hurt earnings, we think the firm's results reveal a unique and long-awaited firming in housing demand.

Stick to the Smoothies, Not the Stock with Jamba
We don't find Jamba that compelling and encourage investors to steer clear of this penny stock. We think it is priced appropriately on the basis of option value, considering its debt-free balance sheet and still-improving same-store-sales trends.

Yahoo Mulls Asian Asset Swap; Risk Remains to the Downside
Yahoo reportedly has plans to engage in a tax-free asset swap with its Asian assets. We think the move, if completed, will shore up the firm's finances. However, long-term investors can find better firms in the Internet sector than the beleaguered search-engine company.

Oracle Issues Poor Fiscal Second-Quarter Results; Customers Delay Purchases
Oracle posted disappointing fiscal second-quarter results that sent the shares tumbling by almost 15% today. The firm noted that weakness in software license sales was caused by customers putting off purchases. However, we think there may be more to the poor results than a timing issue and remain on the sidelines with respect to the shares.
