Finisair Plummets 35% After Company Stuns With Weak Outlook, Chinese Business Slowdown Blamed
Tech darling FNSR is plummeting after hours, down by $14, or 35%, to $26 after the company released in line Q3 numbers, but an outlook that has left the investor base, not to mention its sellside lemming brigade, stunned. While the current sellside Q4 consensus is of 48 cents a share on revenue of $257.9 million, the company announced that "revenues for the fourth quarter to be in the range of
$235 to $250 million" and "earnings per diluted share is expected to
be in the range of approximately $0.31 to $0.35." The result: a stock that is down 33% after hours. Perhaps it is time form Miller Tabak's Alex Henderson, who has been ranked #1 11 times in the Institutional Investor "All Star" poll, to reduce his $60/Buy Price Target. Yet what is worst is that perpetual tech dynamo, China, is now growing dim: from the mea culpa: "the Company will be
impacted by...a slowdown in business in China
overall." Is this the beginning of the end for the tech bubble?
What is more troublesome is the reason cited for the major business slowdown:
During the fourth quarter ending April 30, 2011, the Company will be
impacted by the full three months of the annual price negotiations with
telecom customers that typically take effect on January 1, the 10-day long
shutdown at certain customers for Chinese New Year in February, the
adjustment of inventory levels at some telecom customers, particularly for
products which had previously been on allocation and long lead times,
including WSS and ROADM line cards, and a slowdown in business in China
overall. Primarily as a result of these factors, the Company indicated that
it currently expects revenues for the fourth quarter to be in the range of
$235 to $250 million.
Yep. China is slowing down ladies and gents. And techs are about to get clobbered.
What is most troublesome, or hilarious, depending on how one looks at it, is the array of sellside lemmings none of whom managed to anticipate this. Behold the wall of shame:
Who wants to bet that Maverick is one less tech analyst as of this writing?

Maybe The Ben Bernanke will direct HAL 9000 to pump FNSR shares in AH.

The puppetmaster holds the strings as the crowd looks on in amazement.
Were are the circuit breakers that were supposed to stop at 10%? Oh yeah, that's for retail? One day you will wake up and be totally fucked. And it'll happen at 2AM and it'll take 10mins.
John Law (i.e. me) does not own stocks. I am not too worried about a flash crash.

Bad after hours for tech. TI just trimmed 1st Qtr estimates. Is tomorrow a POMO day?
I'm in tech (networking ... gulp) and my stuff is holding up. But this is dicey ...
Kids, remember to keep your trailing stops tight - like 37% or so.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/41969508
Well, I guess when you go from 15 to 46 in 6 months of POMO induced hyper momentum chasing a drop of 33% in a few short minutes is to be expected. Wow, sucks for those who thought they could trail it with a nice stop.
this will fix the problem:

Just bought some at $24.87.
hee hee, you beat me to it by a buck. Tmrw will tell ....
Wait for Alex Henderson to come out to say, "This is even a better buy now."
Note the increased volume of selling in the afternoon prior to earnings. Almost as if some knew ahead of time....nah...sorry, that was real silly of me...lol, "insider trading"...that's illegal, what was I thinking?
>> Almost as if some knew ahead of time...
That is the reason I stopped trading in stocks many years ago. The market has been rigged for a long, long time.
Hughhh, i dont wanna be a maverick .....urghhhh
Nize bear market action..
Stocks don't move on earnings. BTFD

Giving credit where credit is due... Hamed Khorsand of BWS Financial has been (now presciently) calling for/warning of an imminent inventory correction in the optical networking space, including the inventory build (not sell-through) in China. That's a little different than about every other analyst in the space. Congrats, man. You nailed it.
No wonder NFLX didn't tank. More pressing problems presented.
35% drop in AH trade? it's like 2001 all over again! man, does anyone else remembers those days?
BTW, this p.o.s. was 15 bucks before the QE2 and the all-conquering dash-for-trash (stocks), aka Cramer's "tsunami." I think there's still plenty of "air" underneth...
Is this the prelude to the inevitable Great Housing Crash in China?
More likely a prelude to the coming drop in Precious Metals and Commodities demand from China...

Anyone who visited China in about 2002 and then recently will see the Shocking Bubble that exists right now.
A Shanghai realtor said on NPR the othe rnight prices there are still rising 8% per month....yes, 8% PER MONTH!
Take care if you are investing in anything to do with China. GL!
China is a fucking timebomb that will need to drag the entire commodity complex down big time. Undoubtedly, Bernanke is banking on it.
Leading indicators for China, India and Brazil have all fallen significantly.

Inflation is a problem worldwide, but more so Food inflation in China would be a bigger problem. Chinese food budget as portion of their income ranges from almost 30% to 40%. Going forward I’d be watching this space closely.
