John, OT *** Storage: The Short and the Long of It

By Monica Rivituso
June 19, 2001
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING, Salomon Smith Barney analyst H. Clinton Vaughan issued a note cutting his growth estimate for the data-storage industry. The move knocked 2% to 3% off the stocks of three of the industry's top companies: EMC (EMC), Network Appliance (NTAP) and Brocade Communications (BRCD).

No surprise there. With the exception of a brief rally in April and May (along with the rest of the technology sector), the three companies have been market whipping posts for much of the past year. Since last fall, when EMC, Network Appliance and Brocade each hit 52-week highs, they've plunged 75%, 91% and 73%, respectively. Salomon said to expect revenue growth of 10% to 15% this year, not the 15% to 20% the firm had been talking about earlier. And that was enough to bring out the knives anew.

Maybe storage first and then switch to telecom later?
