3Com Warns About Quarterly Earnings 12/03/97 Newsbytes, Wednesday, December 03, 1997 at 15:10 NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, U.S.A., 1997 DEC 3 (NB) -- REPEAT/ By Bob Woods, Newsbytes. Add 3Com [NASDAQ:COMS] to the growing list of high tech companies warning about income shortfalls in upcoming quarters. 3Com said it is changing inventory practices and reduced inventory levels at its retailers, which will ultimately result in a "slight profit" for the company's second quarter. The problem with the "slight profit" is that Wall Street expected much more: First Call's consensus of analysts had 3Com coming in at $0.44 per share for the second quarter as of Monday, Newsbytes notes. Trading on 3Com shares was halted in advance of Tuesday afternoon's news. 3Com said it made the changes "to help increase predictability and linearity of sales as well as simplify the administration of inventory in global channels." Because 3Com decided to quickly change the inventory management model, second quarter sales are now expected to be between $1.22 billion and $1.24 billion, 3Com said. Complete second quarter results will be reported on or about December 18. Earlier Tuesday, Altera Corp., Cabletron Systems Inc., and Western Digital Corp. all released warnings about their quarterly earnings. Newsbytes covered those announcements earlier Tuesday.
