E*Trade earnings prediction

[garfangle]

I predict E*trade (ET) will beat the earnings estimate due Wednesday by at least a penny and the stock will rise at least 5%.

I was right!

"E*Trade, based in Menlo Park, California, said the results represent its best quarterly performance ever. The company reported third-quarter operating income of $63 million, or 17 cents per share. That compared with operating earnings of $43 million, or 12 cents per share, in the year-earlier period.

Revenue jumped 21 percent to $398 million.

Analysts polled by Reuters Research, a unit of Reuters Group Plc, on average expected E*Trade to earn 16 cents per share for the quarter." - Reuters
