In drawing conclusions about this data, we find that the companies tend to fall into three groups: Companies for which high or moderate exposure in the region is offset by stronger business trends elsewhere, companies that have low exposure on a percentage basis and/or are starting from a low base, and companies for which problems in the region have factored into disappointing results recently. Group 1: Cisco (CSCO). Group 2: Xylan, Fore, and Cable tron. Group 3: Ascend.
