FOCUS-Alcatel posts Q3 profit, confirms forecasts 09:00 a.m. Nov 10, 1999 Eastern By Gillian Handyside An excerpt... ''Alcatel is one of the most attractive companies on the stock market,'' said one Paris-based analyst, who declined to be identified. He told Reuters he expected a further rise in the share price, which has gained 50 percent since January. But he said that while Alcatel was returning to profitability, it still had some way to go before it could catch up with competitors such as Nortel or Lucent, in areas including Internet and mobile technology. ''Recovery is on course but there's still a way to go. And we will have to wait until next year before Alcatel gets its new products on the market,'' he said. He said Alcatel was likely to meet its targets, seen by some analysts as rather conservative, but it was unclear whether it could do much better.''We still have a rather strange fourth quarter to come because of the year 2000,'' he said. messages.yahoo.com
