RESEARCH ALERT- Salomon sees Gateway Q4 revs limit

NEW YORK, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Gateway Inc.'s (NYSE:GTW - news) fourth- quarter revenue growth will be limited by a shortage of Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) chips, but the personal computer maker should still manage to meet earnings expectations, Salomon Smith Barney said on Tuesday.

-- Shares of Gateway fell 2-7/8 to 68-1/4 in early trading on Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

-- Analyst Richard Gardner told clients that supply constraints on Intel chips would "certainly" limit upside to revenue estimates for Gateway in the current quarter.

-- "This could cause them to come in on the light sight on the top-line," Gardner told Reuters. However, he said he believed that Gateway can meet the current profit consensus of 49 cents per share from sales of services linked to its PCs.

-- He also reiterated his "buy" rating on the stock and $65 price target.

-- Gardner noted that the company is seeing good "attach rates," or follow-on revenues tied to the sales of its PC boxes, especially of Internet and financing services.

-- "We still like the outlook for next year," he said, citing plans by Gateway to expand its Country Store retail concept to 100 new outlets and its small- and medium-business sales push.

If the high speed Coppermines shortage coupled with the success of Athlons in the market continues, there will be a power shift from OEMs to Athlon - where the market will perceive not having any Athlon based systems in an OEM's product mix as a handicap to that OEM's performance in the PC market.
