Charlie also said in the CC that he expects growth to be lower than 35%. Analysts may be using this to lower earning to be more in line with growth. Purebull

Goldman's numbers were already adjusted for dilution. The change was to due to a slow down in shipments of PG-Flex/PG-Plus and somewhat lower revenue from HiGain High-speed Digital Subscriber Line modems.

<..whether these lower earnings figures might be that the analysts need to adjust their earnings to diluted earnings..> Nope. What you are thinking of is the new rule that companies need to ensure (for those companies which didn't already) in their earnings press releases that they distinguish diluted (vs. not) earnings numbers (as they have ALWAYS had to do on their 10Qs and 10Ks). But analysts know well the difference, and their numbers already reflect any dilution. This lowering (as others have done this AM) was from slowed ramping of PG Flex (as per Noel earlier this week).
