A comment about LSI logic's (LSI) revenues growing less than 9% somewhere in a future quarter caused today's drop. This wasn't a warning by LSI logic, nor a warning about the current quarter ending June 30th...seem a bit indirect?
Interesting, as to a certain degree LSI and XLNX products can be antagonistic; i.e., older ASIC-based designs may be on the decline while newer PLD-based designs may be increasing...for example, shared media hubs (older) vs. advanced switching products (newer). PALO ALTO, Calif., June 10 (Reuter) - LSI Logic Corp's revenue growth could be less than expected in the third quarter, Montgomery Securities analyst Clark Westmont said in a research report Tuesday. -- Westmont said he was comfortable with estimates for the June quarter, but said the computer chipmaker has been "cautious" about prospects for the September quarter. -- Revenue growth in the third quarter could be less than Montgomery's previous forecast of 9 percent over the June quarter. -- "We are not changing our estimates until more information is available after the June quarter," he wrote. -- LSI shares plunged 5-1/8, or 13 percent, to 34 on New York Stock Exchange trading of 8.72 million shares. The stock was the second most active on the Big Board.
