Yesterday Briefing (B) lowered their rating on the networking industry from 2.5 to 3.5 (OK engineers, I don't know what the units are!). B noted that their upgrade in mid September was "premature" due to concerns about supply, pricing climate, earnings shortfall and ratings downgrades. B indicated the industry will deliver average annual earnings growth of "near 20%-25%" over the next three years (vs 7.6% for the S&P500). "Consequently todays valuations in the networking sector are rather attractive from a long-term perspective." But, "Right now, the industry's momentum is downright awful. Only group leader Cisco is holding up relataively well." B noted several companier (the usual suspects, including Bay) posted sizeable declines recently. However, they also "contend that the worst of the selling is over for the sector", but that earnings concerns "indicate that the group will do well to keep pace with the market of hte near term." Longer term they feel the sector "will bounce back and slightly outperform the market". They also mentioned that FORE, Newbridge and Cabletron are possible takeover candidates.
