Travelzoo (NASDAQ: TZOO), the global internet media company, released its Q4 2015 earnings on February 11th. The company is following a two-way strategy of expanding its member base (while focusing on the quality of the users) and improving its product offerings. Travelzoo’s hotel platform is witnessing increased demand and conversion rates and the company believes that its key differentiating aspects provide it with opportunity for growth even in the presence of much bigger rivals. Travelzoo’s revenues for the fourth quarter stood at $32.1 million reflecting a 6% decline (3% in constant currency terms). The company had an operating profit of $976,000 and its Non-GAAP earnings per share stood at $0.03 as compared to loss per share of $(0.13) in Q4 2014.

Nokia was able to beat market expectations with its Q4 fiscal 2015 earnings, but its grim outlook prevented the stock from rising. During its earnings call, the company’s CEO warned investors about waning demand in China and some other markets. Interestingly, Nokia did not issue guidance for the ongoing quarter or the full year, suggesting that first quarter may be extremely tough for the company. As customers are likely to pull back their capex in light of the macroeconomic uncertainty, the company may not have much to work with. However, in the U.S., Nokia’s merger with the Alcatel-Lucent can help it offset the sluggishness in demand. Both Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent performed well in the recently concluded quarter, implying that both the companies are in good shape. The merger is in its final stages, as Nokia recently announced that it holds 91% of Alcatel-Lucent’s shares following the second round of its EUR 15.6 billion all-stock offer.   In China, Nokia is confident in its position, thanks to the combined installed base of Nokia and Alcatel Shanghai Bell, but a slowdown in 4G rollouts is a big concern.

Monster Worldwide’s below-par fourth quarter results and its disappointing guidance for the first quarter this year resulted in the company’s stock nosediving following its earnings release on Thursday. Monster’s overall revenue declined 9% year-over-year (y-o-y) to $159 million and missed market expectations of $166 million owing to subdued demand in North America, where sales dropped by 8%. In terms of the bottom line, the company reported earnings of $0.12 per share, which was in line with market expectations. For Q1 2016, Monster expects earnings of $0.06-$0.10 per share, which is below analyst consensus estimates of $0.13.
