PRI Automation Sees Lower Than Expected Earnings; Adams Harkness Calls News an "Unhealthy Sign"

NEW YORK, Mar. 24 (Standard & Poor's) - PRI Automation (PRIA 26-15/16 UP 3/4) said it sees lower than expected second quarter earnings per share of $0.05 to $0.07 on revenues of $47 million to $49 million. The company cites the Asian financial crisis and DRAM overcapacity.

Adams Harkness called the news an unhealthy sign of the capital spending environment. Analyst Fred Wolf told Standard & Poor's MarketScope he believes this bad news will continue well into the next year. He doesn't see a pick-up in business until the second half of 1999, but says he's more pessimistic than most.

Wolf maintained his market performer rating on the stock and said he's staying on the sidelines.
