Robert: Re: Dan Niles once again shouted "SELL" this morning. Below is the full text of his latest "SELL" call. It's weird that he's lowering his estimate to $0.52, but then is quoted as saying he predicts INTC will have earnings of $0.51. This guy just can't seem to make up his mind about anything, other than to consistently scream "SELL Intel". Adambiz.yahoo.com Tuesday July 6, 12:29 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: BancBoston Robertson Stephens BancBoston Robertson Stephens Lowers Estimates, Maintains Long-Term Attractive Rating on INTC SAN FRANCISCO, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by BancBoston Robertson Stephens, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, CRD number 41271: BancBoston Robertson Stephens managing director and senior communications and semiconductor devices analyst Daniel T. Niles lowered estimates on Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC - news), while maintaining his Long-Term Attractive rating. Intel supplies the computing industry with the chips, boards, systems and software that are the ''ingredients'' of computer architecture. ''We are lowering our second quarter, fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000 earnings-per-share estimates on Intel from $0.53 to $0.52 , from $2.25 to $2.19 and from $2.55 to $2.40, respectively,'' said Niles. ''We note that the First Call consensus for second quarter 1999 is $0.53, $2.32 for fiscal 1999 and $2.70 for fiscal 2000. While our fiscal 1999 estimate is now the Street low, we are comfortable with this projection and believe it could go lower.'' ''We expect Intel to report first quarter earnings-per-share of about $0.51 on revenues of approximately $6.75 billion,'' said Niles. ''We believe that units were slightly less than 25 million versus 26 million in the first quarter, with ASPs of about $210 to $212 versus about $219 last quarter. We had estimated that units would increase by about 1 percent quarter-to-quarter, with ASPs down about 1 percent.'' ''We believe that much like the first and second quarters, the outlook for the third quarter will deteriorate as the period progresses,'' said Niles. ''We would recommend selling Intel shares on the recent strength.'' Clients interested in receiving more information should contact their salesperson at 415-781-9700.
