GS: Sanmina-SCI Corp. EPS (FY Sep) 2004E $0.26, 2005E $0.50 Outperform/Neutral
(SANM) $6.50

Recently we've noted that differentiation within the EMS group has narrowed
considerably. Still, our top pick to year end is SANM as we believe its slight
valuation discount to peers will be made up, its 50% exposure to enterprise h/w is the
most reliable seasonally strong products in Dec-Q, & cost cuts should also help
Dec-Q. Last night in a mtg w/ sell side analysts (& at yesterday's conference), mgmt
affirmed Sep-Q guidance & Dec-Q goal of 3+% optg margin. We believe these goals
remain achievable. As we've said for most of our coverage, however, we expect
conservative guidance for Dec-Q (not because of what mgmt sees in their business,
but because of what they read in the papers; besides, most mgmts have finally figured
out there's no benefit to being too bullish, so why not be conservative). Seems likely
across the group to see light rev guidance but in line EPS (same for SANM). Other
takeaways were limited to softer points related to a sound PCB/component strategy
& comfort w/ key end mkt segments (incl telecom). We reit our OP/N view.
