'The Hoover's 50' for Week of October 16: Wireless and High-Tech Roundup; Lucent Retains Title
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct 19, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Lucent Technologies
holds its top position in this week's Hoover's (Nasdaq: HOOV) Top 50, after
announcing its third profit warning this year. There was jockeying for new
positions this week among the rest of the Top 10. Fuel Cell Energy (9), entering
into a power generation field test in conjunction with Mercedes, broke into the
Top 10, up from number 16 last week. Formerly the "Powerize 50," the Hoover's 50
is a weekly list of the companies most often researched on www.hoovers.com by
Hoover's approximately three million users. The list is derived by tracking
users' searches of more than 10,000 brand name sources, including 2,400
newspapers, magazines, journals and newswires.
Home Depot is this week's biggest newcomer, entering the list at number 15. The
do-it-yourself home improvement mecca warned of a third-quarter shortfall. Other
big movers include Enron, jumping to number 24 this week, up from number 40 last
week, and Verizon, moving from number 44 to number 30. Also new to this week's
list are General Motors (31), Ventas (34), DoubleClick (37), NextHealth (47) and
Nordstrom (48). Analysts chastised GM for losing money in Europe and Asia, with
nearly all of them cutting estimates for the car maker, while DoubleClick
reported a net loss for the quarter, amid concerns of a slowdown in spending on
online advertising.
The week's top 10 most researched companies: Lucent Technologies (1), JDS
Uniphase (2), Pacific Century Cyberworks (3), Nokia (4), Intel (5), Pfizer (6),
Cisco Systems (7), Advanced Micro Devices (8), FuelCell Energy (9) and Wal-Mart
(10).
