Worldcom action pulls est. $40MM rev out of both 2Q and 3Q which CIEN will scramble to recover mostly from Sprint and new but smaller customers; assuming $20MM or half is lost each Q will cut 7-10c each Q from EPS reducing Street FY98 to say $1.25-1.30. FY99 EPS 1.80 and after 3Q rev/EPS growth again 50%/40% and CIEN still likely to surprise on upside. Drop in stock may reach $48-50 but prove bottom. Smart investors will look to FY99. Internet bandwidth reqt will double every 3-month (10 fold in year)and represent over half of bandwidth by 2000.Huge market remains and Instanet sellers at $45 will be sorry for not waiting for NASDAQ open.
