Big earnings reports lifted stock futures to early gains in Wednesday’s premarket trade. But futures eased from highs after disappointing March durable goods data.

Nasdaq futures were up 50.5 points. Dow futures kept a 28-point gain and SP 500 futures were up 8.1 points.

Durable goods orders slumped 4.1% in March, down from a 2.2% gain in February and below expectations for a 1.5% decline. Minus transportation, orders slipped 1.1% vs. February’s 1.6% gain and views for a 0.4% advance.

Apple (AAPL) soared 8%, topping the $600 mark in premarket action, after reporting late Tuesday its Q1 EPS leapt 82%, to $12.80. Revenue swept up 52% to $39.2 billion. Both numbers trounced analyst consensus expectations. Management gave second-quarter sales and earnings guidance below analyst forecasts. The performance outpaced general computer and smartphone markets, with iPad sales up 151%, iPhone sales 88% higher and Macintosh sales ahead 7%. But iPod sales declined 15%.

Selling was moderate as the stock cut its 50-day moving average Monday. It ended Tuesday 31% above a 427.85 buy point after clearing a cup-with-handle base in January.

Sprint Nextel (S) vaulted 11% after its Q1 loss of 28 cents bested analyst consensus views by 13 cents. Revenue rose 5%, ticking past forecasts to $8.73 billion. Wireless services revenue gained 7%, to $7.2 billion as the company reported 1.1 million net new customers during the quarter. The company sold 1.5 million iPhones.

Boeing (BA) climbed 2% as sales of commercial aircraft lifted its adjusted first-quarter earnings 42% to $1.11 a share, well beyond consensus views of 94 cents. Revenue climbed 30% to $19.38 billion vs. analyst forecasts for $18.45 billion. New orders totaling $42 billion drove the backlog to a record $300 billion. Orders for commercial aircraft rose 54%, while defense orders lagged, up 8%.

The Chicago-based aerospace leader raised its full-year EPS projection to between $4.15 and $4.35, up from prior guidance of $4.05 to $4.25.

Vitamin chain GNC Holdings (GNC) popped 8% after reporting a 76% jump in Q1 EPS to 60 cents vs. views for 52 cents. A 23% gain in revenue to $624.3 million also easily topped forecasts. The company lifted its full-year guidance to $2.05, up from $1.82 and well above consensus views.

The stock has been rebounding in light trade from 10-week support.

Overseas, Asia’s markets closed narrowly mixed. The region’s strongest gain came from Tokyo’s Nikkei 225, which closed 1% higher, buoyed by Apple’s strong results.

Markets in Germany and France held solid gains in early afternoon trade, with Frankfurt’s DAX ahead 1.3% and the CAC-40 in Paris up 1.8%. London’s FTSE 100 pared its early gains and was fractionally higher, after first-quarter GDP data showed the country had officially slipped back into recession.

Crude futures traded relatively steady, near $104 a barrel, ahead of oil inventories data due out at 10 a.m. EDT. Gold was flat near $1,640 an ounce.

April 26 (Reuters) – Wireless operator MetroPCS
Communications Inc posted a lower-than-expected first
quarter as it incurred higher costs on subsidizing consumer
upgrades of handsets and added fewer subscribers than analysts
expected.

Bigger operators like Sprint Nextel Corp and Deutsche
Telekom AG’s T-Mobile USA have entered the low-cost
phone markets, forcing smaller companies like MetroPCS and Leap
Wireless International Inc to shift towards smartphones
which require additional spectrum.

The steady growth of Carlos Slim’s cellphone giant America
Movil’s Tracfone Straight Talk plans is also giving
MetroPCS greater competition in its core markets.

In February, Sprint Nextel’s board vetoed a multibillion
dollar purchase of MetroPCS at the last minute due to concerns
that the timing was wrong for a deal.

Net income for the wireless operator more than halved to $21
million for the quarter ended March 31, or 6 cents per share,
from $56 million, or 15 cents per share, a year ago.

MetroPCS added 131,654 new subscribers to end the quarter
with 9.4 million subscribers.

Five analysts contacted by Reuters had expected it to add
between 236,000 and 400,000 customers.

Customer defection rate – also known as churn – remained
flat at 3.1 percent.

Revenue for the quarter rose 7 percent to $1.27 billion.

Analysts, on average, were looking for earnings of 17 cents
per share on revenue of $1.29 billion, according to Thomson
Reuters I/B/E/S.

Shares of the company have lost more than one-third of their
value since Sprint backed out of its acquisition bid in
February. They closed at $7.94 on Wednesday on the New York
Stock Exchange.

Sprint Nextel started off 2012 on a sour note, the company revealed today in its first-quarter earnings release.

During the first three months of 2012, Sprint lost $863 million, or a loss of 29 cents per share. During the same period in 2011, the company posted a net loss of $439 million. Sprint generated $7.2 billion in revenue during the quarter, which was actually up 7 percent year-over-year.

Sprint said today that its loss was due primarily to the accelerated depreciation related to the planned shutdown of Nextel.

Despite its loss, Sprint sounded relatively positive about its first quarter, saying that the company’s average revenue per user (ARPU) on the postpaid side jumped $4.03, or 6.9 percent, making it the “largest year-over-year increase on record for the U.S. wireless industry.” And with nearly 1.1 million net subscriber additions during the period, Sprint’s total customer base grew to 56 million.

As one might expect, Apple’s
iPhone proved quite popular on Sprint’s service, with 1.5 million of those devices activated during the first quarter. According to Sprint, 44 percent of those activations went to new customers.

Still, Sprint is the smallest iPhone seller among major carriers. ATT yesterday revealed that it activated 4.3 million iPhones during the first quarter, and Verizon came in more than 1 million units behind ATT. Interestingly, ATT said yesterday that it sold a total of 5.5 million smartphones during the first quarter, indicating that Apple’s device took the lion’s share of sales. Sprint didn’t say how many smartphones it sold during the first quarter.

Looking ahead, Sprint will focus much of its efforts on its Network Vision initiative, a plan to overhaul its current wireless infrastructure and replace it with equipment that can run multiple wireless technologies, including 3G CDMA and 4G LTE. Sprint says that it currently has 600 Network Vision sites on air right now, and expects to have 12,000 up and running by the end of the year. In addition, it plans to launch its 4G LTE service to Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Baltimore by the middle of this year.

Stronger than expected results from Apple have U.S. stocks poised
for a higher open ahead of Federal Reserve meeting Wednesday, and
chairman Ben Bernanke’s press conference where he will give his
latest assessment of the economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average, SP 500 and Nasdaq futures
were all higher ahead of the opening bell. Stock futures indicate
the possible direction of the markets when they open at 9:30 a.m.
ET.

Global markets got a lift from better-than-expected earnings from
Apple, the world’s most valuable company. Shares rose nearly 8%
in after-hours trading, taking its share price back above $600
after a couple of weeks of declines. Apple reported its net
income nearly doubled to $11.6 billion, or $12.30 per share, on
much stronger-than-expected iPhone sales — especially in Asia.

Wednesday will also bring more corporate earnings for investors
to consider, with Dow components Boeing and Caterpillar releasing
first-quarter data before the opening bell, along with telecom
Sprint Nextel and health insurer Wellpoint.

Several economic reports are on tap as well, which will be parsed
for clues to the health of the U.S. economic recovery.

U.S. stocks finished mixed Tuesday. Better-than-expected earnings
boosted the Dow and SP, while Netflix weighed down the
Nasdaq.

World markets: European stocks were higher in morning trading,
despite a reading on gross domestic product in the United Kingdom
which suggested that Great Britain has fallen back into
recession. London’s FTSE 100 edged up 0.3%, while the DAX in
Germany added 1.3% and France’s CAC 40 gained 1.8%.

Asian markets ended mixed, with the Shanghai Composite rising
0.8% and Japan’s Nikkei up nearly 1%, while the Hang Seng in Hong
Kong slid 0.2%.

Economy: Several economic reports are will be released Wednesday
morning, starting with the Mortgage Bankers Association’s weekly
survey of mortgage applications.

Also on tap is the Commerce Department’s durable goods report for
March, which measures both consumer demand for big ticket items
as well as business spending on equipment. Economists surveyed by
Briefing.com expect durable goods will drop 2.5%.

But the highlight of the day will likely be the Fed’s midday
report and Bernanke’s comments in the early afternoon. Few expect
him to waver from his position that the economy will continue to
warrant “exceptionally low” interest rates through late 2014.

Companies: Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect Boeing to
have earnings of 94 cents a share on $18.3 billion in revenue,
while Caterpillar is expected to post earnings of $2.13 per share
on $16.2 billion in revenue.

Analysts predict Sprint Nextel will post losses of 41 cents a
share on revenue of $8.7 billion. Meanwhile, Wellpoint is
expected to report earnings of $2.27 per share on revenue of
$15.2 billion.

Currencies and commodities: The dollar lost ground against the
euro and the Japanese yen, but rose against the British pound.

Oil for June delivery rose 48 cents $104.03 a barrel.

Gold futures for June delivery lost 90 cents to $1,642.90 an
ounce.

Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury slipped,
pushing the yield up slightly to 1.96%.
