Macrovision drops on 2002 outlook
Futures point to weak open; TMP gains

By Tomi Kilgore, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 7:28 AM ET Dec. 13, 2001

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Shares of Macrovision slumped in pre-open trading Thursday after the company reiterated its previous warning for the fourth quarter, and provided a 2002 outlook that was below expectations.

 
Elsewhere, stock futures indicated a negative start to U.S. share markets and TMP Worldwide edged up.

Macrovision slumps

Macrovision (MVSN: news, chart, profile) dropped $2.30, or 6.1 percent, to $35.50 in Instinet. The maker of encryption software said fourth-quarter earnings would be sequentially flat with third quarter results, which came in at 20 cents a share on revenue of $23 million.

For fiscal 2002, the company said it was expecting pro forma earnings of between 84 cents per share and 88 cents per share on revenue of between $102 million and $108 million, while analysts had been forecasting EPS of 89 cents on revenue of $120 million.

Futures fumble

December S&P futures slumped 4.70 to 1,133.30, or about 4-points below fair value. Nasdaq 100 futures were down 9.50, or about 12 3/4-points below fair value, at 1,658.50.

The "triple Qs" (QQQ: news, chart, profile), a tracking stock for the Nasdaq 100 Index ($NDX: news, chart, profile), slipped 16 cents to $41.40 in Instinet.

TMP Worldwide sees gains

TMP Worldwide (TMPW: news, chart, profile) tacked on 95 cents to $46 in Instinet, after Yahoo (YHOO: news, chart, profile) offered late Wednesday to buy online employment site HotJobs.com for $10.50 per share, or $436 million in stock and cash, trumping TMP's bid. See full story. Two weeks earlier, TMP had said it expected its purchase of HotJobs to close in the first quarter of 2002.
