Bay Networks Backs Wall Street's 2Q View
Of 26c/Shr

By Mark Boslet

PALO ALTO, Calif. (Dow Jones)--Bay Networks Inc. (BAY) said it
stands by its second-quarter guidance for revenue to climb sequentially and
earnings to meet Wall Street's consensus.

The company reiterated the guidance in the wake of a rating cut from
Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette to market perform from buy.

In October, as the networking equipment company reported its first quarter,
Bay Network officials said revenue should grow from the first to the second
quarters, but not as fast as the 11% increase from the fourth to the first
quarters. The company said its guidance has not changed.

Bay Networks on Wednesday also said it was comfortable with Wall
Street's consensus estimate for the second quarter of 26 cents a share.

Bay also noted its exposure to troubled Southeast Asian markets was
relatively minimal. Only 4% of sales come from Asian and Pacific Rim
countries, a spokesman said.

In a research note, DLJ analyst Stephen Koffler said he was concerned hub
product sales would be flat in the quarter and router growth will have
slowed as the company's new Accelar switch is cannibalizing sales.

Bay Networks shares closed the day down 2 3/8 to 25 2/16.
