Re: FIRST CALL EARNINGS ESTIMATES COMS 3Com Corp. 11/17/97 QTR Nov 97 Current Low 0.17 Current High 0.58 CURRENT MEAN EPS 0.48 Median 0.51 You've got to wonder who has $0.17 & $0.58 estimates for this quarter. Do they really believe this or are they trying to swing the mean? In this case there is a $0.03 difference between the mean and median. Usually they're the same or off by a penny. All the others I just looked at differed by at most a penny (INTC, MSFT, WDC, RDRT, IOM, KLAC ...) Makes you wonder what's up. I guess that's what's keeping the price down. I wish the conference call would hurry up and get here to eliminate the uncertainty and get us back into the upper 40's. Dave
