Why Focus on the Negative CNBC?

Shouldn’t we be celebrating wins instead of losses? Before I left at 3:10 PM (PST), CNBC had not mentioned anything about RGR’s earnings, but had gone on ad nauseam about JCP and GRPN. I understand that JCP is owned by Ackman, and GRPN is a tech stock, but NOT ONE mention of RGR, that’s sad. Let’s comapre the three, shall we?

JCP :  Q4 EPS of -$0.24 misses by $0.06. Revenue of $3.884B misses by $200M

GRPN : Q4 GAAP EPS of -$0.12 misses by $0.15. Revenue of $638.3M (+30% Y/Y) in-line. Gross billings +24% Y/Y to $1.52B. Expects Q1 revenue of $560M-$610M, below $650.3M consensus. Expects Q1 operating income of -$10M to $10M

RGR :  Q4 EPS of $1.00 beats by $0.18. Revenue of $141.8M (+52% Y/Y) beats by $17.8M
