As March draws to a close and the start of the first quarter 2000 earnings season still two weeks away, few companies are scheduled to report earnings over the next week. Earnings pre-announcements will dominate until companies begin reporting first quarter results around the second week of April. Among next week's notables are financial services firm AG Edwards and mutual fund giant T. Rowe Price on Monday. Tuesday's highlight is electronics retailer Best Buy followed on Wednesday by Cabletron Systems and domestics retailer Bed Bath & Beyond. Company Ticker Release Date EPS Estimate AG Edwards AGE 3/27 $0.81 Central & Southwest CSR 3/27 $0.22 PeopleSoft PSFT 3/27 $0.02 RedHat RHAT 3/27 -$0.02 T. Rowe Price TROW 3/27 $0.48 Walgreen WAG 3/27 $0.23 Best Buy BBY 3/28 $0.73 Bed Bath & Beyond BBBY 3/29 $0.30 Cabletron Systems CS 3/29 $0.14 ---------------------------- SPLITS -- I see that ARBA and VERT are splitting 2 for 1 on 4-3-00... that may reinvigorate the B2B stocks. Stock Splits for the week of March 27, 2000 Five stocks will start trading on a split-adjusted basis on Monday morning. Art Technology Group {ARTG}, Hauppauge Digital {HAUP}, , and Pinnacle Systems {PCLE} are scheduled to split 2-1 while JWGenesis Financial Corporation {JWG} is scheduled to split 3-2, and London Pacific Group is scheduled to split 4-1. Scientific-Atlanta {SFA} will be splitting 2-1 after the close of trading on Monday. The stock has surged upward since the beginning of the new year with a 12-week gain of over 130 percent. This momentum is likely to continue after the split as the Electronics/specialty instruments group presently ranks within the top one percent of all industry groups for relative price performance. Semiconductor equipment manufacturer Semitool {SMTL} could show some upside volatility early next week as investors position themselves for the upcoming split. The stock is scheduled to split 2-1 after the close of trading on Tuesday. Like SFA, SMTL has also benefited from a heavy influx of investor dollars into its industry group, in this case the Electronics/Semiconductor group. The stock has appreciated over 300 percent during the past 26-weeks. Investors in Curagen Corporation {CRGN} will hope that next week's 2-1 split will spark some new interest in the stock. CRGN had traded as high as $256 9/16 in late February, before plummeting off of its highs. The stock is now trading over 50 percent below these highs as investors have fled out of the entire sector. CRGN will trade on a split-adjusted basis on Friday morning. B2B ecommerce leader Ariba Inc. {ARBA} will start trading on a split-adjusted basis on Monday, April 3. This will be the second split in a just over three months and reflects that the fact that the stock has appreciated 157.9 percent over the past 18 weeks.
