Another round due?? Further details on post #7978

* Hambrecht & Quist LLC said it cut earnings estimates for WESTERN
DIGITAL CORP following the company's announcement early Tuesday
that results for the 2Q will be below prior estimates. It cut
fiscal year 1998 earnings estimate to a profit of $0.30 a share
from a previous estimate of profit $1.40. It expects the company
to post a break-even 2Q, a loss of $0.25 a share in the fiscal 3Q
and a loss of $0.12 a share in the fiscal 4Q. (Reuters 01:53 PM ET
12/03/97)

Current First Call range(pre the last "warning") is:
2Q $0.21 to $0.28 <==H&Q $0.00
3Q $0.22 to $0.41 <==H&Q $-0.25
FY98 $1.65 to $1.80 <==H&Q $0.30

This must be what WDC meant by break-even in DecQ and "modestly profitable" for FY98. I wonder what they are predicting for 99?
