However, Charles F. Boucher semiconductors analyst at Bear= Stearns feels TXN's near-term outlook is somewhat weaker than expected. T= he analyst highlights the fact that gross margins were slightly below the a= nalyst's estimate at 25%, and operating expenses were also lower than the a= nalyst's model. According to the analyst total sales are expected to declin= e 10% sequentially in the fourth quarter due to a normal seasonal decline, = and chip sales are expected to decline by about 5% sequentially. Boucher i= s reducing his 2001 EPS estimate for the company from $0.10 to $0.09, and 2= 002 EPS from $0.08 to ($0.04), as well as 2003 EPS from $0.80 to $0.70. De= spite the analyst's disappointment Boucher made the following comment, "Ou= r disappointment with deeper near term losses is tempered by solidifying ev= idence of a fundamental turn in semiconductor bookings? Given the weak fund= amental outlook through Q102, we would be valuation sensitive and would not= be aggressive buyers unless the stock drops to $25 or below".
