Today BT Alex Brown maintained a buy rating for ATVI but
cut ATVI's earnings estimate for the 4th quarter from $0.29 EPS
to $0.20 and lowered anticipated revenues from $69 million to $53 million
citing that potential product sales may be placed into the 1st quarter of the next
fiscal year instead of this 4th quarter. He noted that near-term quarterly results
may make investors jittery, however, all companies appear to be investing for
future growth.

I have been arguing this point all along. Why
beef up 4th quarter sales when clearly you want to make sure that the next
fiscal year looks even better than last year? This earnings revision, IMO, is
not a significant reason for the stock to have fallen so much. It is not like ATVI will not make the money. It's just a question of when.

Do not panic. This is a great company with a great line-up and great in-house
management and production facilities. Of all the companies out there, name a
better one that is priced this cheaply.
