Novellus Raises 2nd-Qtr Profit Forecast to 8c-Share (Update2)
By John Stebbins

San Jose, California, May 28 (Bloomberg) -- Novellus Systems Inc., whose equipment builds circuits in semiconductors, said second-quarter earnings will exceed forecasts as cost reductions boost profitability.

Profit will fall to 8 cents a share, compared with an April 15 forecast for 6 cents, the company said on a conference call with analysts and investors. Novellus reiterated that revenue will drop to $220 million, Treasurer Robin Yim said in an interview.

Novellus shares slipped after the call because the company didn't give a third-quarter forecast, said Frederick Wolf, an analyst at Adams, Harkness & Hill. Investors were expecting a more optimistic outlook after Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International said the industry's April book-to-bill ratio rose to 1.20. It was the second straight month that orders beat shipments.
