To All: CPQ effect on after market on Friday- Compaq down in after-hours trade on warning NEW YORK, April 9 (Reuters) - Shares in Compaq Computer Corp. tumbled in volatile yet thin trading after normal market hours Friday as the world's largest personal computer maker warned investors about lower-than-expected quarterly earnings. "It's pretty choppy," said one dealer. "This late in the day, it doesn't look like there are many people around." Compaq was trading at 26 after closing 1-5/16 higher at 30-15/16. Its stock had been temporarily suspended from trading in anticipation of the announcement, made about a half hour after the market close. Compaq said it expected to post a profit of about $0.15 a share in first quarter, less than half of what analysts had forecast. Revenues would reach about $9.4 billion, it said, blaming lower market demand and heightened competitive pricing in the commercial personal computer sector. The news led to a spurt of trading in other companies in the sector. Intel Corp. fell to 126-1/4 from a close of 130-13/16, Microsoft Corp. slipped to 92-3/4 from 94-1/4, Dell Computer Corp. went down to 40-1/8 against 43-9/16, and Gateway 2000 Inc. was at 72-1/2 compared with 74-11/16.
