Salomon cuts Intel price target to $50 NEW YORK, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Salomon Smith Barney cut its one-year price target for Intel Corp (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) to $50 from $75 amid weakness in the personal computer market, according to an investor's note. Salomon cut Intel's third-quarter revenue growth outlook to 2 percent from 4 percent, and earnings per share estimates in the quarter to 37 cents from 38 cents. Salomon also lowered its fourth-quarter earnings per share estimates for Intel to 37 cents from 40 cents. ``The company continues to rapidly expand capacity at a time when demand is coming in much weaker than anticipated, which we believe will have a leveraged and negative impact on margins in Q4 and in 2001,'' the note read. The note also said that a hoped-for pickup in personal computer demand in mid-October has not been realised. Shares of Intel, already beaten down from a recent sell-off in technology stock, fell more than 10 percent, or $4-3/16, to $36-3/16.

may be so, but I try not to hold anything past earnings, getting burnt too many times ... I am taking more note of what the CEO of Intel had to say a few days ago--before the stock started moving up last week. That is worth more than any analyst report. I believe he said something along the lines of --overeacting stock market. That is my signal to buy. I missed out last week but I sure won't do so this week. Just too many negatives to NOT buy. I am not a fan of the PC sector but can't help buying in this case as the PC companies are not doing that bad to justify Intel below 35, IMHO.
