looking for a flat to moderately down sequential performance. Wavecom cited the
SARS epidemic in China, which has hurt consumer spending in that region, and
weakness in the U.S. dollar, for the shortfall. Looking ahead, the company sees
full-year 2003 revenue below 2002 levels with high levels of inventory in China
delaying an expected rebound in the second half of the year by at least one
quarter.

       Standard Microsystems beats earnings target (8:18 AM ET) Standard
Microsystemsreported first-quarter income from continuing operations of $1.9
million, or 11 cents per share, compared to $400,000, or 2 cents per share in
the year-ago period. Real estate and securities transactions boosted income by
$500,000, or 3 cents per share. Revenue rose to a better-than-expected $42.7
million, up from $34 million.
A survey of analysts by Thomson First Call forecasted earnings of 4 cents per
share and revenue of $42 million. The Hauppauge, N.Y. communications software
maker said it expects second-quarter EPS of 5 cents, ahead of the Wall Street
forecast of 4 cents per share. Shares of Standard Microsystems rose $1.12 to
$15.25 on Friday.

       Priceline in 1-for-six split, OK with Q2 estimates (7:42 AM ET)
Pricelinesaid it effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of all outstanding
shares of its common stock at 12:01 a.m. Monday and said it was "comfortable"
with second quarter estimates. The move means holders will get one share for
every six. As a result of the reverse split, PCLN changed its targets. On a
post-split basis, Priceline said it sees earnings between 12-18 cents a share
"and we remain comfortable with estimates within that range." The average First
Call consensus earnings estimate for the second quarter 2003 was for net income
of $3.6 million, which translates to 10 cents per share on a post-split basis,
it said.

       Priority Healthcare to miss Wall St. view for Q2 EPS (7:27 AM ET)
Priority Healthcareis saying it doesn't expect to meet the consensus earnings
estimate for its second-quarter results due to less than expected growth in new
hepatitis C patients, the impact of weak economic conditions on the number of
infertility patients and margins related to these services, and compression in
gross profit on oncology distribution products. 11 analysts polled by Thomson
First Call are looking for a profit of 31 cents per share in the period, on
average. Priority Healthcare now sees earnings of $1.16 to $1.22 per share in
sales of between $1.43 billion and $1.48 billion for full year 2003. Wall
Street's consensus estimate is for a profit of $1.29 per share for the year. The
stock closed Friday unchanged at $19.50.

       E-Loan ups Q2, fy targets on refi, diversified rev. (7:20 AM ET) Direct
lender E-Loansaid it raised its targets for the second quarter and full year
2003, saying it expected 25-30 percent revenue growth in the second quarter from
its diversified products, which includes purchase and non-prime mortgage, home
equity and auto loans. E-Loan sees second quarter revenue of $42 million and
earnings per share of 10-11 cents vs. an earlier forecast of revenue of $39.5
million and net income of 8 cents per share. For the full year 2003, it expects
$155 million in revenue and net income of 35 cents per share.

Zeiten: Caterpillar stiegen um 3,3 Prozent auf 57,89 USD; 3M um 2,1 Prozent
auf 130,48 USD. Doch die positive Stimmung machte auch vor anderen Aktien
nicht halt: Alle 30 im DJIA enthaltenen Werte verzeichneten Aufschläge. Die
Finanzwerte zählten dabei zu den deutlichsten Gewinnern: J.P Morgan zogen um
3,6 Prozent auf 35,95 USD an, Citigroup um 2,6 Prozent auf 45,24 USD.
American Express legten nach der Bestätigung des Kaufs von Threadneedle um
2,7 Prozent auf 44,59 USD zu.  

Boeing wurden von Aussagen über die weitere Entwicklung der Flugbranche

Anschluss um drei Prozent auf 36,41 USD.  

Noch deutlichere Aufschläge verzeichneten jedoch J.D Edwards. Die Titel
