Palm (PALM Quote - Cramer on PALM - Stock Picks) dropped after the mobile-device maker forecast slashed results for the quarter ended Dec. 1 due to a delay of the launch of its Treo 750 product.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company now expects GAAP earnings of 10 to 11 cents a share, which compares with its previous guidance of 15 to 16 cents a share. Revenue guidance was cut to a range between $390 million and $395 million from the prior outlook of $430 million to $450 million. Palm had expected the Treo 750 to ship during the current quarter, but due to certification delays it now expects the product to ship during the following quarter.
