But EMC now is on track to miss its long-stated goal of generating $12 billion in revenue this year, undercutting its previous claims that its storage business is insulated from a slowing economy. The company also confirmed Thursday it has replaced its top sales executive for the third time in two years. EMC said first-quarter earnings rose 20 percent to $399 million, or 18 cents a diluted share, from $332 million, or 15 cents a diluted share, in the year-earlier period. Analysts polled by First Call expected earnings of 18 cents a share. Total consolidated revenue rose 29 percent to $2.34 billion. Total information storage revenue, the mainstay of its business, grew 37 percent to $2.26 billion compared with the year-earlier period. Hopkinton, Mass.-based EMC lowered expectations April 11, saying earnings would miss forecasts by 10 percent, while generating 29 percent revenue growth. EMC (EMC: Research, Estimates) shares closed up $4.90 to $36.66 Wednesday. The stock is off about 45 percent this year, under-performing the 6 percent drop in the S&P 500 Index. stories EMC to miss 1Q forecasts - April 11, 2001 sites EMC Copyright © 2001 CNN America, Inc.
