From Briefing:

08:45 ET 3Com Corp (COMS) 35 5/16: With shares indicated to open
anywhere from 3 1/2 pts to 5 pts lower, BA Robertson Stephens is
making a bold call. While cutting its FY98 estimate by 45% to $1.12 a
share and its FY99 view by 19% to $2.24, the firm is also raising its
investment rating to "buy" from "hold." Seeming to be in agreement
that bottom has been reached is Bear Stearns, which maintains its
"buy" rating on the stk.

to all:

has anybody thought what means "inventory correction".

To me it looks like this has been discounted BEFORE.

The hit on the quarter profit should then be seen as
the result of changing the accounting system and
be termed as a "special charge".

The bottom line is that this should not be viewed
as a plain shortfall like the one
announced by Cabletron.

Don't give the shorts any chance.
