NEW YORK -- Bear Stearns analyst Wojtek Uzdelewicz cut his earnings estimates for Qualcomm (QCOM) Wednesday after the company's financial chief made some cautious comments at an investor conference.

In verbal comments, Uzdelewicz lowered his fiscal 2000 EPS view to $1.04-$1.03 from $1.08 and cut his fiscal 2001 to $1.30 from $1.40. Analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial estimate 2000 EPS at $1.08 and 2001 EPS at $1.42. Qualcomm's fiscal year ends in September.

He cited three reasons: Slowing business in Korea because of the government's recent decision halting handset subsidies; a later than expected roll-out of its technology in China; and slower-than-expected business from Globalstar Telecommunications Ltd. (GSTRF), a struggling satellite phone service.

As reported earlier, Qualcomm Chief Financial Officer Anthony Thornley had discussed the three issues with investors at the Bear Stearns technology conference here.

Qualcomm shares stretched earlier losses and recently traded at 74 1/2, down 6 7/8, or 8.4% on volume of 25 million compared with average daily volume of 20 million.
