What a friggin' joke.....how many times has Klauer been an axe on INTC, a company with a superb history of eps gain? Now things are OUTSTANDING at
AMD b/c they will breakeven in one of the BEST TIMES EVER for the semiconductor industry? What a joke!


Keep in mind that AMD's flash business is doing quite well. If I understand this correct, the following equation should apply:

F + M = 0

That is, profits from Flash (F) plus the profits from Microprocessors (M) should equal breakeven (zero).

Where does that leave M?

To be honest, I think AMD will do better than break even (that's just a gut feeling). However, your point is well taken... I wonder what "M" will be in the face of good times in the semi industry.

Brian,
It appears that Intel stock is "old hat". Great company but not exciting enough for those analysts looking for a hot turn around.
Don't shoot me.

Maybe AMD is the only company they let her cover. She has to say something. ;-)

The following are consensus estimates for fourth quarter earnings, unless otherwise noted, of some major U.S.
semiconductor companies, as compiled by First Call. COMPANY CONSENSUS REPORTING DATE AMD loss $0.01
Jan. 19 Altera (NasdaqNM:ALTR - news) profit $0.30 Jan. 19 Broadcom (NasdaqNM:BRCM - news) profit $0.27 Jan. 18
Conexant (NasdaqNM:CNXT - news), Q1 profit $0.20 Jan. 19 Cypress Semi (NYSE:CY - news) profit $0.29 Jan. 25 Intel
Corp. profit $0.63 Jan. 13 LSI Logic profit $0.43 Jan. 25 Texas Instruments profit $0.47 Jan. 25 Xilinx (NasdaqNM:XLNX -
news) Q3 profit $0.19 Jan. 18 Vitesse (NasdaqNM:VTSS - news) Q1 profit $0.14 Jan. 10


profit, profit, profit, profit, profit, profit, profit, profit, profit, they could have saved some ink or bandwidth by saying all these companies are expected to make these amounts of money.

I didn't realize LSI was supposed to be that high. Looks good.

Tony

Fourth quarter business conditions at AMD are outstanding,' Erika Klauer, an analyst with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, said in a recent report to clients. 'The company remains confident that they will achieve break-even results in the quarter.'

Talk about high goals, breakeven = outstanding. I guess that is outstanding for AMD.
