Goldman Drops Coverage On Chip Stocks As Analyst Quits

27 Feb 15:10

By Karen Talley Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--In a rare move for an investment firm, Goldman
Sach has dropped coverage of most of the semiconductor stocks it
follows. The discontinuation, effective immediately, comes as one of
the firm's semiconductor analysts, Terry Ragsdale, has resigned from
the firm.

A Goldman spokesman said the decision was made to drop coverage of
Ragsdale's 13 stocks. The spokesman declined comment on when coverage
would resume and who might replace Ragsdale, who is expected to leave
within a week.

Ragsdale could not be reached for comment. He joined Goldman a year
ago from JP Morgan.
