Honda Motor market share, sales, stocks forecast 2012-2013

Honda Motor market share, sales, stocks forecast 2012-2013 : Honda Motor Co forecast a near-tripling of operating profit in the year ahead on surging Asian sales and a recovery in the United States, marking an emphatic rebound from a 2011 hammered by the yen's record strength and natural disasters.

Japan's No.3 automaker is expected to ride faster-than-expected growth in demand in the United States, its biggest and most profitable market, where sales of the remodelled CR-V crossover have jumped by more than a quarter so far this year.

For the year to next March, Honda forecast an operating profit of ¥620 billion, up from ¥231.36 in the financial year just ended. The forecast was slightly behind analysts' consensus for ¥645 billion, but bullish nonetheless for a company noted for its conservative earnings guidance.

"The North American market is slowly recovering, while we're entering new segments in Asia," said Executive vice president Tetsuo Iwamura. "We're expecting to grow faster than the overall market."

The company's chief financial officer Fumihiko Ike said the overall US market would likely grow to 14.3 million vehicles this year, up from 13.5 million last year, and Honda aimed to recover a market share of more than 10% as soon possible.

Honda, which has lagged a recovery from the effects of disasters in Japan and Thailand by rivals Toyota Motor Corp and Nissan Motor Co, more than doubled its fiscal fourth-quarter operating profit, ending five straight quarters of decline.

January-March operating profit jumped to ¥111.98 billion, but slightly lagged an average estimate of ¥123.2 billion in a survey of 23 analysts by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Net profit, which includes earnings made in China, rose 60.7% to ¥71.59 billion.

Honda was the last Japanese car maker to get its supply chain in order after a massive earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, and only re-started work at its Thai car plant at the end of last month following October's floods.

Robust sales forecasts

Giving robust sales guidance, Honda forecast its global car sales would jump 38.4% to 4.3 million vehicles and its motorcycle sales would increase 10.2% to 16.6 million in 2012/13.

It sees sales in North America rising 31.5% to 1.74 million vehicles, sales in Japan climbing 20.7% to 710,000 and the rest of Asia by 56.5% to 1.31 million.

Honda will make minor changes later this year to the year-old Civic after the latest version of the perennially popular model was panned by critics, raising deeper concerns over whether the automaker was slipping in a battlefield made tougher by products from Hyundai Motor Co and resurgent US rivals Ford Motor Co and General Motors Co .

Honda CEO Takanobu Ito has conceded that the company he took over in mid-2009 may have let down its guard during the previous decade of rapid expansion, while pulling back on vehicle development too much after the global financial crisis.

Honda is under intense scrutiny to redeem itself this fall with the next version of the Accord, which will be the first major model to carry a new generation of engines and transmissions that it hopes will make its future cars the most fuel-efficient in their categories.

Ito has put in place structural changes to respond more nimbly to competition. He is doubling as head of car operations for now. He also said this week that Honda would step up its game in China, where its market share has slipped in the past four years, announcing plans to boost output capacity and beef up its local R&D function.

Honda is under intense scrutiny to redeem itself with U.S. consumers t his fall with the next version of the Accord, which will be the first major model to carry a new generation of engines and transmissions that it hopes will make its future cars the most fuel-efficient in their categories.

Honda's shares have risen 5.5% in the past three months, lagging gains of around 14% by both Toyota and Nissan.

Starbucks stock prices target buy rating

Starbucks stock prices target buy rating : Goldman Sachs has published a research report on Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) after Nielsen data was reported.

In the report, Goldman Sachs writes, "SBUX K-cup sales grew +9% on a sequential basis despite a -5% seasonal decline in overall industry sales. This drove a measurable step up in SBUX's K-cup dollar share to 16% exiting the period, from 13% in the previous 4-week period. On a unit basis SBUX has reached 12% share exiting the period vs. 9% in the period four-week period. If these trends continue, it may drive upside to our already above consensus SBUX out-year EPS estimates. Our current forecast, which is for $0.45-$0.50 K-cup accretion by 2015, is based on 16% unit share by that time."

Goldman Sachs maintains its Buy rating and $66 price target on Starbucks, which is currently trading up $0.30 from yesterday's $59.50 closing price.

Microsoft stock prices prediction 2013

Microsoft stock prices prediction 2013, Microsoft price target to buy 2012-2013, Microsoft shares prices 2013, Microsoft market shares 2013 : Facebook is paying Microsoft $550m (£341m) for some of the patents it recently bought from AOL. Microsoft paid more than $1bn for most of AOL's patents, beating rivals reported to have included Facebook. Microsoft bought 925 patents and patent applications from AOL. It is now selling 650 of those patents to Facebook as well as licences to the other 275.

Microsoft had a huge surge of cash last quarter and finished the quarter with $56.5 billion of net cash. The quarter was unusual in that accounts receivable declined by some $2.7 billion and this doubtlessly contributed to the $9.3 billion cash buildup. This is a seasonal pattern and Microsoft will not build up cash at this pace going forward. Nevertheless, the company will continue to throw off enormous amounts of cash and it will be interesting to see what combination of buy backs and dividends emerge.

At any rate, I calculated net cash at roughly $6.70 per share resulting in an enterprise price of $25.42. With estimated earnings for this fiscal year at $2.72 and adjusting for interest earnings, Microsoft as a business is actually selling for less than 10 times earnings. I have pounded the table on this issue before and I will pound it again; Microsoft is worth a lot more than 10 times earnings and at the current price it is still a steal.

Looking at 2013, I am assuming calendar year earnings of $3.21. I am also assuming that balance sheet cash increases to $8 a share by the end of 2013 (partly due to lower share count and partly due to higher total balance sheet cash). I will also assume that the dividend is raised to $1.00 a share. My valuation method is to multiply the dividend by 20 (assuming a 5% yield on safe dividends like this one) and to multiply retained earnings by 14.

This results in a valuation of $8 plus $20 plus $30.94, or nearly $60 a share. I am optimistic that the market will "catch on" and start to give Microsoft more credit for balance sheet cash and will also began to reward it with a more realistic multiple.

As to the balance sheet cash, I believe that management will utilize financial engineering in the long term interest of its shareholders if the market lags in assigning it an appropriate multiple. My $50 target actually reflects a substantial discount from what I consider to be a fair price if Microsoft achieves the very attainable targets set forth above. Needless to say, I am strongly bullish on this stock.
