RESEARCH ALERT - Texas Instruments cut

CHICAGO, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Rodman & Renshaw Inc said it cut its rating on Texas Instruments Inc to neutral from buy, and reduced its earnings estimates to $2.00 a share from $2.08 for 1997 and to $2.40 from $3.00 for 1998.

-- ''Because 3Com/US Robotics is Texas Instruments's largest DSP (digital signal processor) customer, we are concerned about the recent slowdown in that company's modem sales,'' Rodman said in a report.

-- 3Com Corp (Nasdaq:COMS - news), a computer networking company, said Tuesday it will cut inventory and report second-quarter earnings below Wall Street expectations.

-- ''Modem sales may be slowing because of a lack of industry standards and competition from new technologies (possibly much faster cable modems),'' Rodman said.

''Regardless, this slowdown will most likely result in a slowing of orders and shipments for DSP products, which account for approximately 20 percent of (Texas Instruments's) sales in the fourth quarter. ''
