RESEARCH ALERT-CSFB cuts Varian Semiconductor

NEW YORK, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Credit Suisse First Boston analyst John Pitzer said on Friday he cut his 2001 earnings per share forecast on Varian Semiconductor Equipment Inc. <VSEA.O> to $3 from $4.

He also trimmed the company's 2001 revenue forecast to $771.5 million from $984 million. Pitzer has a target price of $45 on the firm's stock and a buy investment recommendation.

CSFB's analyst thinks that while the semiconductor equipment maker enjoys strong momentum, the company's spending plans in Asia in 2001 have raised some concerns.

"We believe the company will find it more difficult to continue to buck industry trends and gain market share as competitors introduce new products and Asian spending trends become flattish in the first half of 2001," Pitzer said.

Varian traded at 23-3/8 on the Nasdaq index Friday morning, slightly below the previous session close.
