steve.

devastating at first blush.

crushed consensus, which by my account, looked like $0.13.

did you check out the margins? both gross and net profit up 2.6% and 2.5% sequentially Q2 over Q1, respectively.

sell the news? i hope so ... cuz i'm not a shareholder!

personally, i'll go out on a limb and say no way. (whatever the hell this is worth: AMCC beat consensus by 'only' a penny in Q1 and moved up $2-1/8 the following day.)
