RIMM: Credit Suisse Contends FY 2010 Estimates Too High

Eric Savitz

Back on June 26, Credit Suisse analyst Kulbinder Garcha picked up coverage of Research In Motion (RIMM) with an Underperform rating, setting a $100 price target. So far, he’s looking like a genius: RIMM shares are since down 16 percent. His view was that RIMM’s EPS momentum is poised to slow over the next 12 months due to loss of market share in North America and pressures on gross margin. In particular, he asserted that the company was likely to lose share to Apple (AAPL) and AT&T (T) with the introduction of the iPhone 3G.

About Voices

This is a section of the All Things Digital Web site featuring posts from around the Web, from other Dow Jones properties and also original pieces we solicit. The section is now explicitly labeled that it comes "from other Web sites."

We are fully aware of the controversies around how linking and aggregating is done on the Web and we, in no way, are attempting to "scrape" original content created by others. Instead, regarding third-party posts, we are trying to point readers of this site to other posts from around the Web that we admire and are trying to do so in the quickest manner possible.

The Internet is full of terrific content that is not ours and we want to help our readers find it by making editorial suggestions--Look, Mom, no algorithm!--of posts we think are worth their time.

That is why we have made even more changes to Voices to ensure we do this in the most transparent and timely way. While we don't expect that everyone will agree with our policies, we have made changes that reflect our intent in pointing to content outside our site.

So here is exactly what we do: Read more »

About the Site

Because the site is wholly owned by Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, we aim to adhere to the journalistic standards of the best of the mainstream media.

We want to be first, and sassy, but also well sourced and accurate. We will offer lots of opinion and analysis, but plenty of fact as well.
