Delivering Results Worldwide

Additionally, the power of Ariba's eCommerce platform was experienced around the
globe in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Customers going live on Ariba
included FiNetrics, Rohm & Haas, Sprint PCS, Sunoco, Texaco and Union Bank of
California in North America, as well as Volkswagen, Cemex in Latin America, and
ORICA (a major chemicals company) in Australia among many others.

Extending Global e-Commerce with Leveraged Partnerships

In Japan, Ariba made significant strides to become the leading B2B eCommerce
provider for the world's second largest economy including a joint venture with
SOFTBANK CORP. and SOFTBANK E-COMMERCE CORP., a wholly owned subsidiary of
SOFTBANK CORP., the appointment of Mr. Kuniaki Watanabe as the president of the
combined Ariba-Softbank effort and the addition of 20 proposed partners
including major Japanese electronic manufacturers, system integrators, banks,
brokers and trading houses.

Global B2B e-commerce was further enabled this quarter as the UDDI Project
(Universal Description, Discovery and Integration) was rolled out to the public.
The UDDI Business Registry - initially introduced by Ariba, IBM and Microsoft -
is a Web service designed to accelerate the adoption of B2B integration and
commerce on the Internet. The UDDI Project also announced that 94 new members
have joined since the launch in June of 2000, bringing the total number of
participants to 130.

Additionally technology alliances were struck with Rapt Inc., a leading provider
of solutions for Dynamic Commerce Management (DCM), to help Ariba customers take
the next step in Internet procurement -- intelligent, informed purchasing
decisions across multiple locations, lines of business and purchasing scenarios;
and with diCarta, Inc., the leader of Internet-based, contract and revenue
management solutions, to help its customers reduce process complexity and costs
involved in negotiating and developing contracts.

Launching New Products and Services

A number of new programs to ease the integration to Ariba's eCommerce platform
as well as product enhancements to conduct commerce were introduced in the first
quarter of the fiscal year including:

-- the creation of Ariba Ready(TM), a new Ariba program for helping to ensure
smooth business integration and seamless interoperability between buyers, market
makers, and suppliers accessing the Ariba Commerce Services Network(TM);

-- general availability of AribaLive(TM), a new implementation methodology and
knowledge resource for partners and customers designed to increase deployment
speed and efficiency of Ariba solutions;

-- the latest version of Ariba Sourcing(TM), featuring intuitive graphical user
interface with comprehensive field instructions; expanded criteria for supplier
capability matching; expanded set of product/service RFQ templates for a
wide-ranging variety of areas and expanded registration capability allowing
users to register simultaneously as both a buyer and supplier organization
thereby increasing the reach of the middle tiers throughout the supply chain.

5 statt erwarteten 2 Cents Gewinn je Aktie.
Sämtliche Planzahlen werden angehoben.
Für das Gesamtjahr werden 25-26 statt bislang erwarteter 18 Cents Gewinn je Aktie geschätzt.

``Ariba continued to build market share and extend its leadership position globally this quarter,`` said Larry Mueller, Ariba`s
president and chief operating officer. ``Looking forward, Ariba is positioning itself to lead the next wave of e-commerce: extending
and validating the strength of our eCommerce platform.``

               Building Market Share

Ariba expanded its market share globally this quarter and signed a number of new contracts around the world including: American
Airlines, American Cancer Society, Best Buy, PNC Bank N.A., Sara Lee and USAA in North America; Dutch Railways, EuroBank
of Greece, TI Group in Europe; Cable & Wireless HKT IMS, India Markets, and Sony in Asia, and many others.

Delivering Results Worldwide

Additionally, the power of Ariba`s eCommerce platform was experienced around the globe in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
Customers going live on Ariba included FiNetrics, Rohm & Haas, Sprint PCS, Sunoco, Texaco and Union Bank of California in
North America, as well as Volkswagen, Cemex in Latin America, and ORICA (a major chemicals company) in Australia among
many others.

Gewinnwarnung bei Hewlett-Packard

Nach Börsenschluß schockte der PC Hersteller Hewlett-Packard die Anlegerschaft. Statt der erwarteten 43 Cents Gewinn je Aktie wird der Dow Jones Wert wohl nur zwischen 35 und 40 Cents erreichen. Auch was den Umsatz angeht, ist Carly Fiorina, der CEO des Unternehmens, skeptisch. Ihren Angaben zufolge wird das Wachstum im ersten Quartal nur im niedrigen, einstelligen Bereich liegen. Über den Umsatz im vierten Quartal wurden bisher noch keine Aussagen gemacht. Gegen Abend soll allerdings noch eine Pressekonferenz stattfinden, auf der Fiorina Stellung nehmen wird.
Nachbörslich wurde die Aktie bisher noch nicht wieder gehandelt. Der Schlußkurs lag allerdings bei 32 Dollar.


Wird uns morgen sicher zurückwerfen - Ariba ITWO und CMRC geben nachbörslich auch stark ab!
Grüsse Auhof

Ariba Quartalszahlen schlagen Erwartungen um 150%

Es war schon fast im Vorfeld abzusehen: Ariba hat wieder einmal die Erwartungen der Analysten deutlich übertreffen können. Die Experten von First Call waren im Durchschnitt von 2 Cents je Aktie ausgegangen. Ariba konnte aber sogar einen Gewinn von 5 Cents je Aktie melden. Im Vorjahr war noch ein Verlust von 4 Cents erwirtschaftet worden.
Auch die Umsätze entwickelten sich atemberaubend. Mit 170 Mio. konnte der Erlös um 625% gesteigert werden.

Für das nächste Quartal erwartet das Unternehmen einen Umsatz von 180-185 Mio. bei einem Gewinn von 6 Cents je Aktie. Für das Gesamtjahr soll der Gewinn dann bei 25-26 Cents liegen.


Trotzdem gibt es nachbörslich einen eklatanten Kurseinbruch auf derzeit 39,2§

ständen. Nur Gewinnmitnahmen, oder was soll das?





Gruß Dampf

Nur - 12,50 Punkte, also noch nichts verloren.

RMBS 43,25$
Sieht doch alles wieder ganz freundlich aus.






Gruß Dampf

Hallo Dampf,

Ich danke Dir schon im vorraus!
