Re: Oops, a huge warning by EDS.

The details of the EPS drop are interesting. They went from $0.74 in July to ~$0.13 today, or ~$0.61. The WSJ is saying that (1) ~$0.26 of that is from slowed IT spending and increased spending to pursue new business; (2) $0.14 is a write-off from US Airways; (3) $0.14 is from contract problems in Europe; and (4) $0.08 from exiting a business.

So it's hard to see how much of the EPS decrease is due to IT spending decreases alone. The main point, one I hope investors realize tomorrow, is that the BIG headline of a $0.60 decrease in EDS earnings estimates is not all IT related - a lot of the drop is specific to EDS.
