Posted on February 25th, 2010 in DRYS, DryShips, earnings, fourth quarter, India Shares, options, short interest, short sellers, technical analysis

Filed under: , ,

DryShips Inc. (DRYS) has a date in the earnings spotlight after Thursday’s closing bell, with the drybulk shipper slated to release its fourth-quarter results. Analysts are expecting DryShips to report a profit of 23 cents per share, modestly lower than its year-ago earnings of 25 cents per share. The company has a decidedly mixed history on the earnings front; during the past four reporting periods, Dryships has topped analysts’ consensus expectations twice and fallen short on two other occasions.

Ahead of the report, calls are the options of choice among speculative investors. During the past 10 days, traders on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and the International Securities Exchange (ISE) have bought to open 6.87 calls for every put on DRYS. In other words, option players have purchased nearly seven times more bullish bets than bearish.

Electronics retailer RadioShack Corporation (RSH) — or “The Shack,” if you take your cues from aggressively quirky marketing campaigns — is preparing to unleash its fourth-quarter earnings results. RadioShack will take the earnings stage after the market closes next Monday, Feb. 22, with analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expecting a per-share profit of 58 cents. This would mark a modest improvement from the company’s year-ago profit of 50 cents per share.

RadioShack has a mixed history in the earnings spotlight — during the past four reporting periods, the company has surpassed consensus estimates twice, and fallen short on the other two occasions. However, there’s just cause to believe that business is booming at The Shack, since the retailer scored a deal to sell a little gadget known as the iPhone in its retail outlets.
