2930.0. "Soloman Brothers article" by MKOTS3::BRADISH () Tue Mar 08 1994 19:37

    I'm looking for the article that the Soloman Brothers recently
    had about the benefits of purchasing DEC stock.  I checked with the
    Merrimack Library and they don't have anything.  They did hear that the
    article was in the notesfile (they didn't know which one).  I checked
    this one quickly and the DIGITAL_INVESTING, but didn't locate it.
    
    Anyone know what publication it was in or which notesfile it was
    entered on.
    
    Any help would be appreciated -- I'm looking to include this is a major
    proposal for Bank of Boston.
    
    Thanks.

 Digital - Stock up on earnings forecast
	{The Boston Globe, 2-Mar-94, p. 42}
   Digital stock rose sharply after a Salomon Bros. analyst said he expected
 the company would show a smaller loss in fiscal 1994 than previously
 estimated.  Trading was heavy with 3.6 million shares changing hands, making
 Digital the fifth most active stock on the new York exchange.  Salomon analyst
 John Jones estimated in a research report that Digital would post a loss of 90
 cents a share for fiscal 1994, 61 cents less than previously estimated.  He
 raised his estimate for a fiscal 1995 profit by $1.83 to a #2.33-a-share
 profit.  Jones also upgrade his recommendtaion on Digital to a buy from a
 hold.

To:     See Below

Salomon Brothers this morning upgraded Digital to a buy 
recommendation, based on several factors including:

	 Analyst expectations are pretty well "washed out"

	 Negative currency and supply issues thought to be less 
	 negative in Q3
	 
	 AMD 486 foundry arrangement an important development in 
	 managing vital semiconductor costs

	 He expects sequential Alpha WS revenue growth

	 His surveys of Fortune 500 found 42% intend to buy 
	 Digital workstation products

	 More than 50% of those will buy alpha

	 >1/3 of those not buying from Digital are not yet aware 
	 of Alpha in detail which he views as sales and marketing 
	 coverage which the company is focused on fixing

	 UNIX software availability is improving, he looks for 
	 late first half, early second half of CY 1994 benefit.

Stock opened up 1 1/8 at 30 1/4 and currently is trading up 1 5/8 
on 1.8M shares traded.
