In a blow to Net infrastructure companies that develop caching technology -- products that essentially accelerate Web pages -- Bear Stearns analyst Robert Fagin downgraded Inktomi (INKT: news, msgs) to an "attractive" from a "buy," and CacheFlow (CFLO: news, msgs) to a "neutral" from an "attractive."
Once again, concerns over a slowing economy and a slowdown in IT spending led to Fagin's prudent call.
Shares of CacheFlow lost 15 percent by midday.
But the '99 darling and once-dominant leader in the e-personalization software market, BroadVision (BVSN: news, msgs), saw its shares come under significant pressure, yet again. After losing 5 percent on Thursday, shares fell another 8 percent.
The so-called "B2B" sector couldn't hold onto gains garnered in the last two trading sessions.
Merrill Lynch B2B Holdrs lost 6 percent, after running up 12 percent since Wednesday. One company bucking the trend, however, is FreeMarkets (FMKT: news, msgs). Shares of the B2B auction enabler rose to $21.38, before tumbling 5 percent to just over $20 by midday.
A warning Thursday from F5 Networks (FFIV: news, msgs), another network infrastructure devices player, helped trigger a double-digit slide in CacheFlow on Thursday.
Behind the sharp moves in the group are worries about the extent of the slowdown in capital expenditures and the decline in orders.
