Two More Earnings

Yesterday, Eli Lilly (LLY) reported fourth-quarter earnings, after charges, of $1.07 a share, two cents more than expectations. That’s 19% growth although revenue growth was flat. The company sees 2009 earnings coming between $4.00 and $4.25 a share. That means the stock is going for less than 10 times this year’s earnings, plus it currently yields over 5%.
SEI Investments (SEIC) reported Q4 earnings of 25 cents a share, three pennies below estimates. This will be a difficult year for SEIC, but I still think it’s a solid company.
