dailynews.yahoo.com

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Specialty chipmaker Altera Corp. (Nasdaq:ALTR - news) on Monday narrowed its sales guidance for the fourth quarter, saying that revenues would decline about 7 percent from $174.2 million reported in the third quarter.

Previously, the San Jose, California-based company said sales would decline 5 percent to 10 percent sequentially. Altera also said it would take charges of about $53 million for writing off inventory and writing down assets.

``It appears that we have seen the bottom of this cycle,'' John Daane, president and chief executive, said in a statement, referring to the cyclical semiconductor industry. ``We look forward to modest growth in the March quarter.

The new guidance implies fourth-quarter sales of about $162 million. Analysts forecast sales at $164 million, according to Thomson/Financial First Call.

ALTR is up 5% after hours.
