Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) rose $2 7/16 to $94 5/8 on anticipation of its third quarter earnings report to be released after Wednesday's close. Last month, the company said Q3 EPS would be about $0.04 higher than the analysts' mean estimate of $0.44, versus $0.40 for the year-earlier period, thanks to strong sales of business software. Even though analysts quickly revised their EPS estimates to a mean of $0.48, some now expect Microsoft to report even higher earnings. The company will broadcast its conference call live on the Web at http://ww w.events.audionet.com/events/microsoft/q1earnings/ at 2:30 p.m. Pacific time (5:30 p.m. Eastern time). Separately, in an interview with Reuters Microsoft Executive Vice President Steve Ballmer said the PC market is still growing at about 15% despite the economic downturn in Asia. He said sales in the Mideast have increased 40% during the fiscal year 1998, which ends in June, and he expects the region to offer the fastest sales growth for the company in the next four to five years.
