HTCH Hi Kev, Just a head's up for ya. Haven't kept up with the thread, so sorry if this is old news... Kiss that butterball for me. :) xoxo, V. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Late yesterday, HUTCHINSON TECHNOLOGY INC (Down 2 to 22-1/4 at 9:46 ET) said it recorded a net loss of $0.56 a share through the first eight weeks of the 2Q of fiscal 1998. The company cited weak demand for its disk drive suspension assemblies, and said shipments were trailing the prior quarter level. It said it had shipped 64 million disk drive suspensions in the first eight weeks of the 2Q, compared with 135 million units during the entire 1Q of fiscal 1998. The computer disk drive component maker said the drop in demand was due to inventory reduction efforts among the major disk drive manufacturers. Analysts were expecting the company to lose $0.57 a share in the 2Q, according to First Call. (Reuters 05:42 PM ET 02/26/98) For the full text story, see infobeat.com
