3Com Corp. (NASDAQ:COMS) posted a net loss of $18.7 million, or -$0.05 EPS, but on a non-GAAP basis outside of restructuring costs it made $12.2 million, or $0.03 EPS. Analysts were expectingg $0.02. Revenue rose to $319.4 million, above the $300.1 million a year ago and slightly above analyst estimates of $318.3 million.
Shares closed up almost 4% today at $3.74. We didn’t get to listen to this conference call, but shares are giving back the gains in after-hours with shares down close to 5% at $3.57. The 52-week trading range is $3.24 to $5.24. Since we didn’t get to hear what the sell-of was about we won’t speculate as this is a small company now. But here are some points investors should consider:
- This is one we have noted as a company that management can’t fix.
- Barron’s questioned it after a Citadel investment.
If we get a chance, we’ll look further into this one later.

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)
Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.
However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.
There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
