Lifted from the DELL thread: Dignan: On The Street Friday, November 3, 2000 Cisco, Dell Earnings Could Rock the Market Larry Dignan, Editor Inter@ctive Investor Just when you thought earnings season was just about done, here come two bellwether reports. First up will be Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO), which reports fiscal first-quarter earnings on Monday. According to First Call, an earnings tracking firm, the networking powerhouse is expected to post a profit of 17 cents a share. Actual results are irrelevant in many ways -- it's all about the company's outlook. If Cisco dismisses concerns about a slowdown in telecommunications capital spending, things will be looking up. If not? Look out below. The other key report lands next Thursday night. Dell Computer (Nasdaq: DELL) will report its third-quarter results. Analysts are expecting a profit of 25 cents a share. Look for a lot of hand wringing over growth rates with this report. Is Compaq making life tough for Dell?
