Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: So Far, So Good!
by Milota Sidorova

Although expected, it appears technological sector hasn't been following whimsical American economy even in the second quartal 2008. However, better than forecasts declared, three technological tycoons & Google Inc, IBM and Microsoft have released the financial 2Q reports last week, that in fact wasn't what did many expected, but had far from assuring the investor's segment.

According officials, the largest network provider Google, fought sour times but ended in positive green numbers zone. Its 35 percent rise did well, but still missed Wall Street's consensus forecast

Jeffrey Lindsay, Analyst in Sanford C. Bernstein assumed, that the hard economy on Google's network rather than Google's owned and provided business brought company into lower gross margins. He expects general investor's disappointment with share earnings, that is about to create strong market reaction.
But for now, one may say, so long, so good.

Who did really good, literally more than better was technological magnat IBM, whose report proved
how successful and necessary was the change of its business model. Instead of inforcing domestic networks, IBM focused on spreading outside the U.S., growing markets and small business. The software and services demand has naturally consolidated. Literally IBM came in $1.98 versus expectations of 1.82.

It won't be IBM who attract black side attention on market, however, things are just doing right for the company.

A long distance race in artificially invited Yahoo case, interferred also in Microsoft's report. Andy Miedler, Edward Jones Analyst suggested that the core business went right way, however those few bugs were caused by Microsoft's Internet advertisement business & Yahoo drama has taken all the attention. That has slightly negative impact on main services and products like Windows, Office and new promoted, despite cautious Vista. Although Microsoft report has declared slightly growth in 2Q, it stopped below Wall Street expectations.

As for analyst from Fort Pitt Capital Group, Kim Caughey, Microsoft can be thankfull for continuously demand of its good despite being underpromising less faithfull technological tyconn, whose the main of few advantages is its good market strategy.
