Micron($22-?) PE=what PE! ;-) sales plunge on price pressure By Chris Kraeuter, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 6:32 PM ET Sept. 25, 2001 BOISE, Idaho (CBS.MW) -- Microchip maker Micron Technology said late Tuesday that fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent from its third quarter and that it had a $576 million loss as average selling prices for memory products plunged. Micron shares (MU: news, chart, profile) were little changed in after-hours trading following the report after they closed down $1.06, or 4.8 percent, at $21.24 in regular trading. Micron Technology reported a fiscal fourth-quarter net loss of $576 million, or 96 cents a share, on revenue of $480 million. During the same quarter last year, net income was $726.7 million, or $1.20 a share, on revenue of $2.3 billion.

Excluding a charge of $118 million, or 20 cents a share, for an equity investment write-down, Micron's loss was $458 million, or 76 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call expected a loss of 34 cents a share, excluding the 20-cent-per-share charge, on revenue of $694 million. Tim Mahon, analyst with Credit Suisse First Boston, said Micron's poor top line results "come straight down to the pricing environment." Average selling prices during the quarter for Micron's memory products fell 55 percent sequentially and 85 percent on a year-over-year basis. "We believe that we're not going to see any pricing on a positive front until the middle of next year, as a best case scenario," Mahon said. Micron's loss also includes a write-down for inventories of $289 million, or 48 cents a share. During the previous quarter, Micron took a charge of $260 million to write down inventory. Micron ended the fourth quarter with cash and equivalents of $1.6 billion. On June 22, when Micron reported fiscal third-quarter financials, the company declined to provide financial targets. During the previous quarter, Micron reported a loss of $301 million, or 50 cents a share, on revenue of $818 million. During the coming year, Micron said it expects capital expenditures of $1 billion. Chris Kraeuter is a reporter for CBS.MarketWatch.com in San Francisco.
