Computer Sciences, Novell, Esat Among WSJ 'Darts vs Pros' Picks
New York, April 8 (Bloomberg) -- Shares in Novell Inc., Computer
Sciences Corp., Esat Telecom Group Plc and GelTex Pharmaceuticals Inc.
will rise more than the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the next six
months, according to the four contestants in the Wall Street Journal's ''Darts
vs. Pros.'' Novell's earnings forecasts for this year and next are likely to be
raised, said Individual Investor Group Chief Executive Jonathan Steinberg,
while Computer Sciences' earnings should rise 20 percent annually, said
Bramwell Capital Management President Elizabeth Bramwell. Esat Telecom
shares are ''significantly undervalued,'' said Founders Asset Management
portfolio manager Douglas A. Loeffler, and GelTex's recently introduced
polymer- based drug could boost its stock, Sonora Investment
Management's Doug Rogers told the paper.
Novell, the No. 2 maker of networking software, and No. 1 personal
computer maker Compaq Computer Corp. said last month that it will sell
machines that store Internet data on computer networks. (WSJ Interactive
