Microsoft warns, Adobe beats the street
updated 05:10 pm EST, Thu December 14, 2000
Microsoft today announced that its second quarter profits and revenues would fall short of expectations, joining the ranks for Apple, Compaq, Gateway, AMD, and Intel in issuing such warnings. Adobe, meanwhile, beat analyst expectations by five cents after reporting earnings of 34 cents. Revenue also came $2 million ahead of expectations at $353.56 million, up from $281.8 million last year. Shares of Adobe were battered today, however, dropping more than 13 percent after several analysts downgraded the stock.
