K, Are you looking or thinking about buying CPQ? NW S&P comments on Compaq Computer <CPQ.N> (Press release provided by Standard & Poor's) NEW YORK, Dec 1 - Corporate Credit Rating BBB/Stable/A-2 Compaq Computer Corp.'s board of directors recently authorized the company to repurchase up to $1 billion of common shares. Standard & Poor's does not expect this authorization to have any impact on Compaq's ratings. Compaq has a conservative balance sheet for its rating level, and a significant cash position. While cash balances may fluctuate somewhat, Compaq is expected to maintain consistent profitability and a strong financial profile. REUTERS * end of story *
