3Com joke! A.G. Edwards issued a Company Report on January 27, 1999 for 3COM Corp.. On January 27, 1999 A.G. Edwards analyst Peter Andrew issued a 11 page Company Report on 3COM Corp. Report highlights: 'The company's 1999 and 2000 EPS estimates were set at $1.39 and $1.95, respectively. An ACCUMULATE/AGGRESSIVE rating was reiterated as a seasonally strong market and organizational efficiencies enabled the company's recent earnings to beat estimates. The company is projected to grow EPS by 70% annually through 2000.' Report No.: N0127665 The full text of this and over 30,000 other reports are available for purchase from Zacks. A question before I purchase: Is this report worth the paper it's printed on?
