Varian Semiconductor Easily Beats First-Quarter Estimates By Aileen Gallagher Editorial Assistant 1/25/01 6:47 PM ET Earnings Scorecard Actual Estimated* Year-Ago $1.20 $0.96 $0.16 Varian Semiconductor (VSEA:Nasdaq - news) reported first-quarter earnings of $1.20 a share, beating the First Call/Thomson Financial consensus estimate by 24 cents and trouncing year-ago earnings of 16 cents. The semiconductor designer and maker said revenue more than doubled to $228 million from $110 million in the same quarter last year. Net earnings for the quarter rose to $40.1 million from $5.3 million in the year-ago period. The Gloucester, Mass., company warned earlier this month that it expected an annual revenue increase of about 10% year-over-year, a view that mirrored the not-so-rosy outlook coming from many other companies in the semiconductor sector. In the short term, Varian expects revenue for the second fiscal quarter to grow about 15% above the year-ago figure, which was $156.2 million. Varian lost 44 cents in regular session activity on the Nasdaq, where it closed at $25.81. Things were looking up in Island after-hours trading, where the company traded at $27.

VSEA is way, way down from it's high of over $73 !! Way, way, way down. Many investors ask themselves, why put my money, my hard earned cash in a company like VSEA, a company named a defendant in a $50,000,000.00 class-action lawsuit (verified) for invasive bathroom videotaping. My answer, check out ACLS - it has no such history! NOTE: I am a very, very significant holder of ACLS stock. Regrettably, I am a VSEA stockholder too.
