Wall Street: Corporate America gibt weiter Gas

Am Donnerstagmorgen mussten sich die US-Börsen noch um ihre jüngsten Rekordstände mühen, zum Handelsschluss bilanzierte man dann aber doch wieder solide Gewinne. Der Dow-Jones-Index schloss mit einem Plus von 15 Zählern oder 0,1 Prozent auf 13 105 Punkten und stellte damit schon wieder ein neues Allzeit-Hoch auf.

Der marktbreite S&P-500-Index verlor hingegen einen Zähler auf 1494 Punkte, und die Hightech-orientierte Nasdaq kletterte um 6 Zähler oder 0,27 Prozent auf 2554 Punkte.

Es waren erneut vor allem starke Quartalszahlen, die Kauflaune auf das Parkett brachten. Im Dow schloss 3M als stärkster Wert mit einem Plus von 4,6 Prozent. Der Bildschirm- und Folienspezialist hatte am Morgen einen stärkeren Quartalsbericht als erwartet abgegeben. Umsatz und Gewinn lagen über den Prognosen, und von Prudential gab es umgehend eine Aufstufung.

Zweitstärkste Dow-Aktie war General Motors mit einem Plus von 4,5 Prozent. Der größte amerikanische Automobilhersteller fuhr im Windschatten der Konkurrenz:

Am Morgen hatte Ford einen Verlust gemeldet, der deutlich schmaler war als befürchtet. Für die ersten drei Monate des laufenden Jahres beträgt der Fehlbetrag nut 282 Millionen Dollar oder 15 Cent pro Aktie. Vor allem höhere Umsätze im Ausland und günstige Währungsverhältnisse halfen dem strauchelnden Unternehmen.

Zu den großen Dow-Stützen gehörte ferner ExxonMobil. Der Öl-Multi blickt für das vergangene Quartal zwar auf einen leichten Umsatzrückgang, hat aber den Gewinn erneut um 10 Prozent auf 9,28 Milliarden Dollar oder 1,62 Dollar pro Aktie ausgebaut. Das ist besser als erwartet, zudem profitiert man natürlich vom hohen Ölpreis, der am Donnerstag trotz einer leichten Korrektur über 65 Dollar schloss.

Weitere Dow-Gewinner waren Pfizer und die Papiere von McDonald´s und Verizon Communications.

Im Hightech-Sektor waren alle Augen auf Apple gerichtet: Bei dem Konzern schlägt das Geschäft mit iPod und Mac weiterhin alle Erwartungen. Der Umsatz wurde um 20 Prozent gesteigert, der Gewinn um 88 Prozent. Beides liegt deutlich über den Prognosen, was auch an einer Kostensenkung und billigeren Komponenten, vor allem im Flash-Bereich, zu tun hat. Die Aktie kletterte um 4 Prozent.

Auch Xilinx gehörte zu den Tech-Gewinnern. Der Chip-Hersteller schloss mit einem Plus von 3 Prozent, nachdem auch hier Umsatz und Gewinn im abgelaufenen Quartal besser als erwartet gemeldet wurden.

Größter Gewinner im Sektor war hingegen Amazon.com mit einem Plus von fast 10 Prozent. Der Online-Händler setzte am Donnerstag seine Rallye vom Vortag fort, die nach starken Quartalsdaten bereits für einen Zugewinn von 26 Prozent gesorgt hatte

Wall Street: Viele Sorgen stoppen die Rallye

Bei 14 000 Punkten wurde Anlegern die Luft zu dünn – nach einer tagelangen Rekordrallye im Dow Jones und den übrigen Indizes legten die amerikanischen Börsen am Mittwoch den Rückwärtsgang ein. Konjunktursorgen, die Hypothekenkrise, enttäuschende Bilanzkonferenzen und ein steigender Ölpreis trugen dazu bei.

Zur Wochenmitte verlor der Dow-Jones-Index zeitweise dreistellig. Nachdem er noch am Vortag ein neues Hoch in Angriff genommen hatte, rutschte er letztlich um 53 Zähler oder 0,4 Prozent auf 13 918 Punkte ab. Der marktbreite S&P-500-Index verlor 3 Zähler oder 0,21 Prozent auf 1546 Punkte, und die Nasdaq gab um 12 Zähler oder 0,47 Prozent auf 2699 Punkte ab.

Gründe für die kleine Kurskorrektur gab es viele: Der Ölpreis kletterte im Laufe des tages über 75 Dollar pro Fass. Am Morgen waren zudem die Verbraucherpreise mit einem stärkeren Anstieg als erwartet gemeldet worden. Das war umso enttäuschender als die Erzeugerpreise am Vortag rückläufig gemeldet worden waren und Erwartungen für einen nachlassenden Inflationsdruck geweckt hatten.

Dass der Inflationsdruck etwas nachlasse meint zwar Ben Bernanke, der am Mittag vor dem Kongress sprach, doch hatte der Chef der Notenbank andere schlechte Nachrichten: Die Hypothekenkrise mit den Auswirkungen von faulen Krediten dürfe sich zunächst eher zuspitzen als abbauen.

Bereits am Morgen hatte Bear Stearns zu den von Risikokrediten belasteten Hedgefonds Details vorgelegt: Zwei mehr als 10 Milliarden Dollar schwere Fonds, die in großem Stil in Risiko-Hypotheken investiert hatten, sind nur noch 9 Prozent ihres Wertes vom vorigen Quartal. Die Aktie verlor erneut 1 Prozent.

Mit Bear Stearns verloren auch die übrigen Banken, nachdem ein Analyst die Aktien von Goldman Sachs und Lehman Brothers, von Merrill Lynch und Morgan Stanley auf „Verkaufen“ abgestuft hatte. Die Finanzpapiere von Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Chase und Bank of America wurden derweil auf „Halten“ degradiert.

Den größten Druck auf den Markt üben zur Wochenmitte jedoch einige Konzerne mit Quartalszahlen aus. United Technologies und J.P. Morgan Chase hatten jeweils über den Erwartungen gemeldet und gaben dennoch deutlich nach. Der ebenfalls Dow-notierte Tabak- und Konsumriese Altria Group fand sich ebenfalls unter den Verlierern, obwohl der Gewinneinbruch nicht so stark ausgefallen war wie erwartet.

Größter Dow-Verlierer war der Chip-Hersteller Intel mit einem Abschlag von 5,2 Prozent. Anleger fürchten um die Bruttomargen, die mit 46,9 Prozent deutlich unter den Erwartungen der Anleger liegen. Intel schiebt das vor allem auf Probleme im Flash-Bereich.

Auch Pfizer gab deutlich nach, da man für das vergangene Quartal auf einen Gewinneinbruch um 48 Prozent blickt und damit deutlich schlechter dasteht als befürchtet. Der Einbruch geht vor allem auf schwache Umsätze mit Lipitor zurück, dem Cholesterinsenker und bisher größten Umsatzbringer. Zwei weitere Medikamente haben ihren Patentschutz verloren und sehen ebenfalls fallende Umsätze.

Auch mit dem Internet-Portal Yahoo ging es um 5 Prozent bergab. Der Gewinn ist im vergangenen Quartal um 2,2 Prozent auf 160,6 Millionen Dollar gesunken, da die Kosten stärker gestiegen sind als der Umsatz. Unternehmenschefin Susan Decker verspricht neue Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Effizienz, doch Anleger beruhigt das nicht.

Wall Street: Dow schlägt die 14 000

Die Bären werden an der Wall Street zur Zeit nur mitleidig belächelt. Nach einem Tag mit verhältnismäßig schwachen Quartalszahlen und leichten Kursverlusten setzten die großen amerikanischen Indizes am Donnerstag ihre Kletterpartie fort. Angetrieben von guten Zahlen aus dem Hightech-Sektor ging es wieder auf Rekordjagd.

So spielte der Dow-Jones-Index den ganzen Donnerstag über mit der Marke von 14 000 Punkten. Am Ende reichte es äußerst knapp: Die Blue Chips schlossen mit einem Plus von 82 Zählern oder 0,6 Prozent bei genau 14 000,41 Punkten.

Der Dow Jones hat damit innerhalb von zwölf Monaten die Marken von 11 000, 12 000, 13 000 und 14 000 durchstoßen.

Auch die übrigen Indizes waren in Bestform: Der marktbreite S&P-500-Index schob sich um 7 Zähler oder 0,45 Prozent auf 1553 Punkte. Die Hightech-orientierte Nasdaq erholte sich ebenfalls von ihren Vortagesverlusten und kletterte um 20 Zähler oder 0,76 Prozent auf 2720 Punkte.

Unterstützung bekam der Markt allerdings auch von allen Seiten. Die Notenbank scheint sich in ihrer Bewertung der amerikanischen Konjunktur zuletzt kaum bewegt zu haben. Noch immer sieht man Inflation als größte Gefahr für Stabilität, was sowohl aus dem Protokoll der letzten Sitzung als auch aus einem zweiten Auftritt von Ben Bernanke vor dem Kongress hervorgeht. Nichts neues also.

Gute Daten gab es vom Arbeitsmarkt. Die Zahl der Erstanträge auf Arbeitslosenunterstützung ist in der vergangenen Woche auf den niedrigsten Stand seit zwei Monaten gefallen. Weniger gute Daten aus dem Produzierenden Gewerbe gingen hingegen unter. Der Phily Fed Index fiel deutlich unter den Erwartungen aus, belastete den handel aber nicht.

Auch dass der Ölpreis auf fast 76 Dollar kletterte, störte den Markt in seinem Aufwärtstrend nicht. Im Gegenteil: Der Dow-notierte Öl-Multi ExxonMobil kletterte dank der höheren Preise auf ein Allzeithoch von mehr als 92 Dollar pro Aktie und schloss als eine der besten Aktien im Dow.

Die anderen großen Dow-Sieger kamen fast komplett aus dem Hightech-Sektor: IBM verbesserte sich um mehr als 4 Prozent und war Tagessieger unter den Blue Chips. Der Server- und Computerriese hatte zuvor ein Umsatz- und Gewinnwachstum über den Erwartungen gemeldet. Man blickt auf das stärkste Quartal seit fünf Jahren, was Anleger begeistert.

Weitere Top-Aktien im Dow waren Hewlett-Packard und Intel sowie das Papier von Microsoft. Das legte mit der Software-Branche zu, der schon am Morgen gute Zahlen des deutschen Konkurrenten SAP recht gekommen waren. Zudem wird Microsoft sollte Microsoft noch am Donnerstagabend Zahlen vorlegen, ebenso wie der Online-Riese Google.

Der Online-Auktionator Ebay verlor hingegen. Ein Umsatzplus von 30 Prozent und ein Gewinnwachstum um 50 Prozent täuschen Anleger nicht über einen Rückgang bei den globalen Versteigerungen hinweg.

Zu den größten Gewinnern im Hightech-Sektor gehörte Juniper Networks mit einem Plus von 12 Prozent. Die Analysten von Goldman Sachs setzten die Aktie auf „Kaufen“ und rechnen damit, dass neue Router bei Cisco Systems gut ankämen und man sich bei dem Netzwerkriesen Großaufträge sichern könnte.

Abwärts ging es hingegen erneut für die Finanzbranche. Die Hypothekenkrise hatte bereits am Vortag die Papiere großer Häuser belastet und drückte diese auch am Donnerstag. Goldman Sachs und Morgan Stanley gaben um jeweils 1,5 Prozent nach, Bear Stearns und Merrill Lynch verloren 0,6 Prozent.

PMC-Sierra 2nd Quarter Loss Narrows On Enterprises

PMC-Sierra Inc.'s second-quarter loss narrowed to $22.3 million, or 10 cents a share, from $31.8 million, or 16 cents a share, a year earlier, helped by its enterprise storage, fiber to the home and telecom businesses.

Gilead Sciences posts 53% rise in quarterly profit

Gilead Sciences Inc. late Thursday said its profit in the second quarter surged more than 53%, driven by a 60% rise in sales of its HIV treatments. The Foster City, Calif.-based biotechnology company reported net earnings for the latest three-month period of $407.9 million, or 42 cents a share, vs. $265.2 million, or 28 cents a share, in the comparable period last year.

Wall Street: Vorsichtige Schritte nach oben

Zur Wochenmitte tat sich die Wall Street schwer, eine Richtung zu finden: Nach einem deutlich positiven Start fraßen die Sorge um das Wirtschaftswachstum und die Angst vor einer noch schwerer als befürchteten Kreditkrise die Tagesgewinne auf, bevor sich die Indizes am Nachmittag wieder erholten.

Am Ende verbesserte sich der Dow-Jones-Index um 68 Zähler oder 0,5 Prozent auf 13 785 Punkte, was nach einem Einbruch um fast 230 Punkte am Vortag aber nur einer schwachen Erholung entspricht.

Der marktbreite S&P-500-Index kletterte um 7 Zähler oder 0,47 Prozent auf 1518 Punkte, und die Hightech-Börse Nasdaq verbesserte sich um 8 Zähler oder 0,31 Prozent auf 2648 Punkte.

Die beiden Hauptsorgen der Anleger wurden am Mittwoch besonders deutlich illustriert. Das Beige Book der Fed spricht noch immer von moderatem Wirtschaftswachstum in den meisten Regionen der Vereinigten Staaten. In manchen Gegenden warnen die regionalen Notenbanker aber vor einem langsameren Wachstum.

Im Mittelpunkt stand und steht aber die Hypotheken- und Kreditkrise an den amerikanischen Märkten. Der Autobauer Chrylser kann bei seinen Bemühungen um einen Verkauf an die Privatinvestoren von Cerberus eine Kredittranche von 12 Milliarden Dollar nicht platzieren, da sich keine Gläubiger finden. Das mach das Ausmaß der Unsicherheit an den Kreditmärkten deutlich.

Entsprechend waren es erneut die Finanzaktien, die sich unter den Verlierern fanden. J.P. Morgan und Citigroup verloren am Mittwoch ebenso wie einige Zykliker, darunter Caterpillar und 3M.

Größter Gewinner im Dow war hingegen Boeing mit einem Plus von 3,5 Prozent. Der Flugzeugbauer weist für das abgelaufene Quartal ein Umsatzwachstum um 15 Prozent auf 17 Milliarden Dollar aus und hat nach einem Verlust im Vorjahresquartal einen unerwartet hohen Gewinn von 1,5 Milliarden Dollar erwirtschaftet. Man hebt die Erwartungen für das Gesamtjahr an, was angesichts ausstehender Bestellungen über 279 Milliarden Dollar kein Wunder ist.

Weitere Dow-Gewinner waren der Pharmazeut Merck und der Öl-Multi ExxonMobil, der von einem steigenden Ölpreis profitierte. Der Rohstoff galoppierte am Mittwoch um mehr als 3 Prozent auf mehr als 76 Dollar pro Fass, nachdem die Lagerbestände niedrig gemeldet worden waren.

Größter Gewinner aber war Amazon.com mit einem Plus von rund 25 Prozent. Der Online-Händler hat im vergangenen Quartal den Umsatz um 35 Prozent erhöht und den Gewinn verdreifacht. Man hat vor allem von Kostensenkungen profitiert, aber auch von der hohen Akzeptanz des Prime-Programms, bei dem Kunden gegen einen festen Mitgliedsbeitrag Ware versandfrei bestellen können. Nachträglich gab es Aufstufungen bei sechs Brokerhäusern, darunter Bear Stearns und Lehman Brothers.

Aufwärts ging es auch für die Aktie von Apple, die mit einem Plus von 2 Prozent schloss. Nach den Einbrüchen vom Vortag, die durch enttäuschende iPhone-Verkaufszahlen beim Mobilfunkpartner AT&T verursacht worden waren, positionierten sich Anleger vor den Quartalszahlen nach Handelsschluss. Die Erwartungen waren zuletzt gut, zumal das erst unmittelbar vor Quartalsende vorgestellte Multi-Handy weniger Einfluss auf die Bilanz haben dürfte als der iPod.

Wall Street: US-Börsen im freien Fall

Die amerikanischen Börsen hatten am Donnerstag einen der schlechtesten Tage ihrer Geschichte: Der Dow-Jones-Index verlor zeitweise mehr als 430 Punkte und schloss letztlich mit einem Minus von 309 Zählern oder 2,24 Prozent auf 13 476 Punkten. Schuld waren neue Details zur Immobilien- und Hypothekenkrise, vor der sich Anleger fürchten.

Auch die übrigen Indizes fielen steil. Der marktbreit gefasst S&P-500-Index schloss mit einem Abschlag von 35 Zählern oder 2,3 Prozent auf 1483 Punkten, wobei 97 Prozent aller Aktien Verluste einfuhren. Selten haben die amerikanischen Märkte auf derart breiter Basis und durch sämtliche Branchen hindurch so steil verloren.

Der S&P-500-Index schloss auf einem Halbjahrestief, ebenso wie die Nasdaq mit einem Abschlag von 49 Zählern oder 1,84 Prozent auf 2599 Punkte.

Schlechte Nachrichten aus dem konjunkturellen Umfeld hatten den Markt schon früh absacken lassen: Die Bestellungen langlebiger Güter sind im vergangenen Monat um 1,4 Prozent gestiegen und damit schwächer als erwartet. Den Transportsektor mit den teuren Flugzeugbestellungen ausgenommen bleibt ein Minus von 0,5 Prozent.

Zudem sind wie bereits am Vortag erneut schwache Hausverkäufe gemeldet worden, auch die Durchschnittspreise für Immobilien fallen. Der Häuserbauer Beazer Homes weiß nicht, wann die schwierigen Zeiten für die Branche zu Ende gehen könnten. Und der Konkurrent D.R. Horton berichtet über einen Quartalsverlust von 824 Millionen Dollar und klagt über die schwierige Lage am Hypothekenmarkt.

Zeitgleich sorgte der Ölpreis für Stirnrunzeln. Der Rohstoff gab im Tageshandel zwar etwas nach, nähert sich grob aber doch an die Marke von 80 Dollar an, vor der Industrie-, Transportwerten und dem Verbraucher gleichermaßen bang ist.

Die hohen Preise spiegeln sich im Quartalsbericht von ExxonMobil nicht wieder. Das Unternehmen blickt für die vergangenen drei Monate auf einen Gewinneinbruch auf 10,26 Milliarden Dollar und hat die Erwartungen verfehlt. Das riss nicht nur die Dow-notierte Aktie ins Minus, sondern die Konkurrenz, darunter Chevron und ConocoPhilips.

ExxonMobil verlor am Donnerstag 5 Prozent, noch schlechter schloss nur Alcoa mit einem Minus von mehr als 7 Prozent ab. Weitere große Dow-Verlierer waren General Motors und Boeing sowie die Aktien der Citigroup.

Einziger Dow-Wert im Plus war 3M mit einem Gewinn von 0,5 Prozent. Damit reagierte die Aktie nach einem schwachen Tageshandel zumindest ein wenig auf due guten Quartalszahlen. Auch Ford konnte sich nach starken Zahlen verbessern, während der Chemiekonzerk Dow Chemical trotz guter Bilanzdaten im Minus hängen blieb.

Größter Gewinner im Hightech-Bereich war Apple mit einem Plus von 6,4 Prozent. Das Unternehmen hat dank starker Nachfrage nach iMac und iPod den Gewinn im vergangenen Quartal um 73 Prozent auf 818 Millionen Dollar oder 92 Cent pro Aktie erhöht. Damit werden die Prognosen um mehr als 25 Prozent geschlagen, und auch die Nettomargen sind deutlich höher als erwartet. Mit den etwa 270 000 verkauften iPhones sind manche Analysten nicht zufrieden, Apple-Kritiker waren am Donnerstag aber in der Minderheit.
