CPQ WANTED INVENTORY TO GO UP AND IT DIDN'T News Alert from Dow Jones Online News via Quote.com Topic: Compaq Computer Corp Quote.com News Item #4647526 Headline: Analyst Says Compaq's U.S. Corporate Channel Inventory Is Down ====================================================================== NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Compaq Computer Corp.'s inventory of computers designed for U.S. corporate use is at least two weeks smaller than it was a year ago, according to a report released Tuesday by Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc. Compaq's (CPQ) inventory in its corporate channel is between six-and-a-half and eight weeks, compared with the 10-week inventory this time last year, said Steven Fortuna, channel analyst for DMG Technology Group. The difference was attributed to improvements in Compaq's ability to manage its channel inventory, Fortuna said. Compaq's worldwide inventory was even lower - five weeks now, compared with 12 weeks a year ago, according to another Deutsche Morgan Grenfell report released Tuesday.
