Huh??? What am I missing here??? El........ CPQ UPGRADE to "ATTRACTIVE" (Kinda!!!) The Credit Suisse First Boston analysis this morning rated CPQ as a BUY at $41. But it also said that if the stock fell back as a result of the comments about first quarter revenues then they would rate it "ATTRACTIVE" So now its "ATTRACTIVE" "Lowering Compaq Q1 EPS to $0.31 from $0.36 due to weaker-than- expected January Compaq is trading around 24 times our revised forward four- quarter consensus estimates and at a roughly 10% discount to the S&P. Should the stock pull-back as a reaction to our lowering Q1 earnings estimates, we would find it attractive. We maintain our Buy rating and feel the stock should outperform the S&P."
