RESEARCH ALERT - Applied Materials estimates cut

NEW YORK, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Lehman Brothers said it lowered its fiscal 1998 earnings estimate for Applied Materials (Nasdaq:AMAT - news) due to South Korea's economic problems, but it reiterated its buy rating on the stockcompany.

-- said the 1998 earnings estimate went to $2 per share from $2.15 because South Korean chip manufacturers are delaying capital investments.

-- said that, overall, Applied Materials remains well-positioned; its share price has fallen 48 percent since August even though earnings could grow more than 40 percent in fiscal 1998.
===============================================

When I bought in '96 (july) at a p/e of 6, many were predicting zero or negative earnings. Of course, they were wrong. This stock sure has its ups n downs!
