MONTEREY, Calif--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 1998--Day Traders On-Line (www.daytraders.com) said Thursday that their Trading Desk editor initiated coverage of 3Com Corp. with a buy rating and set a near term price target of $40 to $42 a share.
-- Networking sector has limited exposure to computer and hardware pricing pressures recently seen in market.
-- Continued network expansion in Internet and Intranets should continue to improve 3Com's profitability throughout the year, as well as other networking equipment suppliers such as Ascend Communications (NASDAQ:ASND) and Bay Networks (NYSE:BAY).
-- Stock has recently put in "double bottom" at $28 a share level and has now started an up trend which may continue into the $40 or higher range. Attractive from a technical standpoint.
