Quite a bit, apparently, as Krispy Kreme (Nasdaq: KREM) today issued guidance through the end of fiscal 2003 even as it reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 (ended April 29). <<FULL STORY: http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=409791 ----------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS TO GO ----------------------------------------------------------------- Preppy apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) said fiscal Q1 (ended May 5) EPS rose to $0.20, up from $0.16 last year and three pennies better than Wall Street's consensus. The company pointed investors toward EPS of $0.22 for Q2, in-line with current projections. Gallium arsenide telecommunications chip maker TriQuint Semiconductor (Nasdaq: TQNT) agreed to buy wireless communications components company Sawtek (Nasdaq: SAWS) with stock valued, as of last night's close, at $1.29 billion. TriQuint's $29.92 per-share offer was a 15% premium over last night's close for Sawtek. Sporting equipment company Rawlings (Nasdaq: RAWL) sold its Vic Hockey division to Vic Hockey Co. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. "We now look forward to focusing our energy on building our core brand equity," said Chairman and CEO Steve O'Hara. Leading jewelry retailer Tiffany (NYSE: TIF) said fiscal Q1 (ended April 30) net income rose slightly though EPS was flat, year-over-year, at $0.20. That was a penny better than expected by Wall Street. Revenues fell 2.5% to $336.4 million. While U.S. and international retail sales fell year-over-year, direct marketing revenues actually improved, though the base upon which they grew was relatively small at less than 10% of total sales. Middleware software vendor BEA Systems (Nasdaq: BEAS) turned in fiscal Q1 (ended April 30) EPS of $0.05, up from last year's $0.03 per-share loss. That figure included acquisition-related costs, without which BEA came in a penny ahead of the Street's $0.07 per-share estimate. The company also boosted its full-year EPS guidance to $0.43 from $0.41. ----------------------------------------------------------------- HOT TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------------- APPLE SAYS "SHOP DIFFERENT" As Apple guns for increased market share, Fools are applauding the opening of the company's first retail stores. http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=409792 POSTMORTEM ON THE RAMBUS RULING Read the transcripts of the Rambus conference call as recorded by a Fool, and find out in the company's own words where it's going from here. http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=409793 IS EMC TOO EXPENSIVE?
