So what: This isn't Rovi's first whiff -- the company's now missed EPS estimates four quarters in a row. Rovi also reduced its full-year guidance, projecting between $650 million-$680 million in revenue and $1.60-$1.90 in adjusted EPS. That's well below guidance released this May, which called for $755 million-$785 million in revenue and $2.35-$2.65 in adjusted income. The new guidance is in line with analyst expectations, which projected $663 million in full-year revenue and adjusted full-year earnings of $1.73.
Now what: Rovi's continued decline didn't get good news today, but the market may have sell-off fatigue, as the indexes are all up quite a bit. Today's bounce looks like a dead cat to me. There's nothing in the company's latest news that recommends its stock today, especially considering how far it's fallen over the past year.
