Green Mountain Earnings Battle Value & Performance (GMCR)

Green Mountain LogoGreen Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., (NASDAQ: GMCR) has been a stock that nearly defied logic in its meteoric rise.  It has at least defied gravity.  The company has just announced its fiscal 2009 third quarter earnings for the June 27, 2009 quarter.  Net income rose 123% to $14.1 million, or $0.36 EPS.  The Thomson Reuters figures had that consensus as $0.28 EPS.  Revenues were $190.5 million, up from $118.1 million a year ago, but down slightly from the $193.35 million reported just one quarter ago.  Thomson Reuters had estimates listed as $193.99 million, but there were only a handful of estimates and the range was listed as $193 million to $196 million.  If you adjust for the split, the March lows were around $25.00 and the 2008-end prices were under $20.00.  This top-line disappointment along with its guidance and its astronomical performance has reality setting in during the after-hours session.

S&P Index Change Candidates (DWA, HS, GMCR, FBTX, MLNM)

We have seen several announcements out of Standard & Poors regarding index changes today, with the effective dates as follows:

  • DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. (NYSE: DWA) will now replace Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNM) in the S&P MidCap 400 after the close of trading on Thursday, May 8, as Millennium’s acquisition by Takeda is expected to close on or about that date.
  • HealthSpring Inc. (NYSE: HS) will now replace Franklin Bank Corp. (NASDAQ: FBTX) in the S&P SmallCap 600 after the close on Wednesday, May 7…. Franklin has a market cap of a mere $26 million and has the 600th worst weighting in the index. 
  • Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (NASDAQ: GMCR) will replace Matria Healthcare Inc. (NASDAQ: MATR) in the S&P SmallCap 600 on a T.B.A. basis, pending Inverness Medical Innovations (AMEX: IMA) final approvals to acquire Matria.

As a reminder, traders that look at index additions and deletions generally like to focus on stocks that are coming in fresh into the S&P that were not a member of the S&P 1500 comprised of small-cap, mid-cap, and 500-Index members already.
