Earnings were January 23rd

 

What happened**

Shares of Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT), a specialty measurement company, are on the move following a fourth-quarter earnings report that beat expectations and provided hints of more good times to come. The stock had risen 11.7% as of 10:36 a.m. EST on Wednesday.

So what

 

Waters Corporation shareholders expecting fourth-quarter results to meet consensus estimates were pleasantly surprised this morning when the company reported results that beat on the top and bottom lines. Adjusted earnings rose 14% compared to the previous year to $2.87 per share, which was $0.23 per share more than the market was expecting.

 

** if they were so good why is the SVP out of shares to sell?

Leaving much on the table if they actually believe the results they reported.

A few Comments on November New Home Sales

 

First, this report was for November (it was almost ready to release when the government shutdown began in December). The December report will probably be released soon, but no release date has been announced yet. Based on other data, I'd expect sales to be weak in December, but talking to builders, I expect a rebound in January.

 

New home sales for November were reported at 657,000 on a seasonally adjusted annual rate basis (SAAR). This was well above the consensus forecast, and the three previous months were revised up.

 

Sales in November were down 7.2% year-over-year compared to November 2017.

 

On Inventory: Months of inventory is now at the top of the normal range, however the number of units completed and under construction is still somewhat low. Inventory will be something to watch very closely.

 

This graph shows new home sales for 2017 and 2018 by month (Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate).

 

Sales are only up 2.7% through November compared to the same period in 2017.

 

The comparison for November was difficult (sales in November 2017 were very strong). And the comparison in December will also be somewhat difficult. Overall sales might finish the year down from 2017, but it should be close.

 

This is below my forecast for 2018 for an increase of about 6% over 2017. As I noted early this year, there were downside risks to that forecast, primarily higher mortgage rates, but also higher costs (labor and material), the impact of the new tax law, and other possible policy errors.

 

And here is another update to the "distressing gap"-cap 2- graph that I first started posting a number of years ago to show the emerging gap caused by distressed sales. Now I'm looking for the gap to close over the next several years.

This was posted last night

 

MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador declared the country’s war on drugs over Wednesday, saying his government would no longer prioritize using the army to capture cartel kingpins.

 

However, critics questioned the announcement, pointing out that the leftist president has not taken the army off the streets as he pledged during his campaign, and is proposing the creation of a national guard that opponents say would permanently militarize the country.

 

Mexico has deployed its army since 2006 to fight its powerful drug cartels.

 

But the strategy has been widely criticized. Although it has led to the capture of a string of high-profile kingpins, it has also been accompanied by a tidal wave of violence, as the fragmented cartels wage war on each other and the army.

 

Asked in his daily press briefing if his government had taken down any kingpins since he took office in December, Lopez Obrador said that was no longer the strategy.

 

“There’s no war. There is officially no more war. We want peace, and we are going to achieve peace,” he said.

 

“No capos have been arrested, because that is not our main purpose. The main purpose of the government is to guarantee public safety. … What we want is security, to reduce the daily number of homicides.”

 

Mexico has registered more than 200,000 murders since the military was sent into the streets 13 years ago, and some of its states have homicide rates on par with the most violent countries in the world.

 

Last year was the most violent on record, with 33,341 homicides.

 

Lopez Obrador has proposed a series of social programs he says will end the poverty that drives violent crime.

 

But he is also pushing for a national guard with tens of thousands of soldiers that would officially bring civilian police duties under military control.

 

There is a “clear contradiction” in Lopez Obrador’s statements on Wednesday, said security expert Alejandro Hope.

 

“His anti-crime strategy barely changes anything, it’s not different from that of previous governments, and even accentuates the use of the armed forces for public security,” he said.
