Jabil Circuit Dn 5%; Met Street 3Q Views Late Thurs Dow Jones Newswires -- June 16, 2000 NEW YORK -- Investors soured a bit on Jabil Circuit Friday, after the computer maker late Thursday announced third-quarter earnings that met Wall Street expectations. As reported, Jabil earned 21 cents a share, matching analyst estimates. For the fourth quarter, it projected earnings of 24 cents a share and 8% revenue growth. The news had a slew of analysts voicing their thoughts Friday morning, with Prudential on the bullish side with an upgrade to strong buy from accumulate and Robertson Stephens on the bearish, cutting the company rating to long-term accumulate from buy. In between were six other firms, including Bear Stearns, CSFB and CIBC World Markets, who reiterated their positions on the Palo Alto, Calif., concern. Three stood ground at buy and the other three pounded the table with reiterated strong buy ratings. Investors seemed to agree the most with Robertson Stephens analyst J. Keith Dunne, who wrote in the downgrade that, despite a solid quarter, he feels the stock's 45% climb since early January has basically brought the stock to "near peak valuations." Jabil was recently trading at 45 1/4, down 1 3/4 or 3.72%, on Big Board volume of 1.7 million shares which compares with a daily average of about 1.6 million. The stock closed Thursday at its 52-week high, 47, first set June 2. In Friday composite trading, it reached a high of 48 1/2 before investors changed their minds. Officials at Jabil were immediately unavailable for comment. (Hi Y'all! Peter)
