Growth Has Been Good to Gabelli

Gabelli Asset Management expects to beat fourth-quarter consensus earnings estimates.

Gabelli Asset Management rode the surging tide of growth stocks to better-than-expected returns in 1999.

Thanks to exceptional performance at funds such as Gabelli Growth (GABGX), which gained 46%, and Gabelli Global Telecommunications (GABTX), up 80%, the company expects to report earnings of $0.46 per share in mid-February. That would be 31% higher than the First Call consensus analyst estimate for the quarter. It's also 31% higher than the comparable figure for 1998. Mutual funds typically don't post returns of 40% or more, however, so the company is unlikely to maintain such strong performance.
