Negative (short-term) sentiment in Motley Fool: fool.com Here's a paragraph from it: This means that fiscal '98 earnings estimates need to be lowered from $2.02 per share to, at most, about $1.60 per share, which assumes that 3Com can accelerate numbers again in the coming quarters and meet later estimates. That's not a very realistic assumption, though. Assuming there is an inventory glut and that it will take a few quarters to clear, 3Com may earn much less than $1.60 per share for the year ending in May. As reported Friday, Hambrecht & Quist analysts recently lowered estimates to $1.79 per share -- a number that already will probably need to come lower.
