ASPT Damn these guys! 0/16/98 8:50 am... DOWNGRADING ASPECT TELECOM (ASPT 18***) TO HOLD FROM ACCUMULATE... Posts Q3 EPS of $0.25 vs. $0.24 (excl. $0.11 in charges), in-line with Street mean, on 39% higher revs... Revs. up 9% sequentially on strong European sales... North America product sales flat with continued weakness in Asia... Management cautious about Q4 and 1999 on difficult global economic environment... Slashing our 1999 EPS est. to $1.30, from $1.48 on lower visibility and higher R&D investment... We are also concerned by high receivable balance...
