Re:ESTIMATE REVISIONS:
AMAT: Major Broker decreased estimate for fiscal year ending
10/99 from $1.66 to $0.85 on 07/13/98
AMAT: Major Broker decreased estimate for quarter ending 07/98
from $0.21 to $0.16 on 07/13/98
AMAT: NATNBK MONT.SEC decreased estimate for fiscal year
ending 10/98 from $1.32 to $1.15 on 07/16/98
AMAT: NATNBK MONT.SEC has reiterated estimate for long term
EPS growth of 25.00% per year on 07/16/98


Are they saying they expect 25% annual eps growth off of FY99 earnings of $0.85? Not too impressive. According to my #'s, eps would hit $3.24 after 6 years!
