>>On SLR, the downgrade came with a lowering of earnings' estimate
from 50› to 41› which they met today.<<

Schwab actually shows
First Call Estimate Trends and Revision Momentum
Solectron 7-Day Ago Mean EPS 0.50

But they show

First Call Estimate Trends and Revision Momentum
Jabil Circuit Inc. 7-Day Ago Mean EPS EPS 0.58

That is not correct. JBIL did not have 0.58 estimate one week ago.

Here is the comment to the downgrade:

3/9/98 12:25 pm... SOLECTRON (SLR 41-3/8) DOWN 2-1/4, MERRILL DOWNGRADES TO NEAR TERM ACCUMULATE FROM BUY... Analyst Jerry Labowitz tells salesforce recent announcements by major OEMs such as CPQ, INTC, MOT have provided more evidence that demand environment in electronics industry degrading... Appears that economic environment in Asia producing spill-over effects on demand, pricing in No. America... Also, pricing environment becoming tougher, inventory in channel becoming larger concern... Thinks EPS estimates could be at risk... Thinks, over next 12 months SLR will offer attractive price appreciation, but to lesser degree than expected./K.J.Wolfe

Nothing about specific earning revision.
