Skeeter, First, this is the AMAT thread. We should take Intel discussion over to the Intel thread. Desa folksa gonna geta mad! >>>tony, i meant the q just ending isn't going to be as good as the same q in 1997 or 1996.<<< Not so. First Call (31 brokers solicited) est. eps current qtr. = $1.06. Following from Intel earnings history page: Fourth quarter revenue of $6.5 billion set a record, and was up from $6.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 1996. Net income was $1.7 billion for the fourth quarter, down from $1.9 billion for the comparable period a year ago. Earnings per share in the fourth quarter were $0.98, down from $1.06 in the final quarter of 1996.
