QT 1 #s... by: Intermediate_Guy220 (31/M/NE Kansas) 59801 of 59811 alot of rumor surrounding CPQ missing first QT .33 consensus with slow PC growth here and abroad. Conversations with IR confirm this BUT the Qt is not over yet and other parts of CPQ's business are doing well, they continue to stand by the original guidance. An interesting post from the investors club, make your own judgements: she_xlr8s (44/F/TX) Mar 10 1999 2:07PM EST in going over all the numbers out from Q4, revised forecasts for Q1 and "known" Q1 numbers, i have come to the conclusion that Q1 units should be in line with what we need to make estimates. Q1 is traditionally soft anyway and with the Y2K excesses lopped off we should be right on. i'll keep my guess of .37 to be optimistic but i believe at this point it will be between .35-.37. dailynews.yahoo.com last friday E.P. issued a letter to all upper management at CPQ that he shared their concern about the recent slide in share price and stated that there was lighter sales in the commercial desktop market, market softness in euro., l.a. and n.a. but that high end was doing very well as was services. inventory was low and that Q1 goals would be met. he stated that a strong march will help Q2.
