DIRECTV (DTV) - spin-off


DIRECTV's Quarterly Report Pushes Stock Higher

02/10/2006

While DIRECTV's stock wasn't our biggest mover this week (Denny's Corp. holds that distinction with a 17.8% gain over the past five trading days), DIRECTV's stock did jump 9.3% this week. The nation's largest satellite TV provider released their fourth quarter results on Wednesday. Profits came in higher than Wall Street analysts had expected, causing DIRECTV's stock price to jump.

From the company's fourth quarter report and earnings conference call:

  • 200,000 net subscribers were added during the quarter
  • an additional 1,000,000 net subscribers are expected for 2006
  • annual sales rose to $12.2 billion, an increase of 25%
  • customer turnover decreased
  • costs to attract and retain subscribers fell 4%
  • annual profits rose to $335.9 million
  • revenue per customer increased 5% to $75.53

The company also announced a plan to buy back up to $3 billion of DIRECTV stock. That's equivalent to almost 15% of the company's current market cap. Finally, DIRECTV is expected to add broadband Internet access to its list of services.
