P., did you catch this news? C-Cube Microsystems Inc tumbles after Fortune article NEW YORK, Feb 19 (Reuter) - Shares of C-Cube Microsystems Inc dropped after a Fortune magazine article suggested the company's market share is slipping and its prospects for the digital videodisk market are dim. C-Cube lost 2-1/8 to 24-1/2 on Wednesday and was one of the most active Nasdaq issues. Analysts said shares of C-Cube dropped sharply after the March 3, 1996 issue of Fortune hit the streets. The article suggested that C-Cube faces two problems. The Milpitas, Calif.-based company is losing grounds in the video compact disk player market to rival ESS Technologies Inc , and ESS is gaining market share with its less expensive chip, Fortune said. The delayed U.S. roll-out of the digital videodisk (DVD) player also will hurt C-Cube, the article said. There will be several competitors in the DVD market and limited demand initially, due to the high price of the product, the article said. Fortune also said C-Cube may have to wait a "long while" before it makes any money off the DVD business.
