Significantly, the Street has not tempered its positive ratings on 3Com. Since August the First Call consensus rating on 3Com has remained 1.8 or 1.7 -- mildly bullish compared with the 2.2 average for all stocks. (The rating system spans from 1, strong buy, to 5, sell.) Now it sits at 1.8. "They still like the stock, obviously," says First Call research director Chuck Hill. First Call's rating on Ascend stands at 2.4, bearish compared with the 2.2 average. Many pros are disgruntled with Ascend management, which made stridently bullish predictions last summer.
