Microsoft's horizon
Article Abstract:
Investors and the computer industry have begun to assess the impact of Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's findings of fact that concluded that Microsoft Corp. was a monopoly. This could pave the way for an eventual ruling so extreme as to force the breakup of Microsoft into several companies. During the trial, investors continued to push up the price of Microsoft stock. But after the findings by Judge Jackson were made public, Microsoft's stock fell sharply, down as much as $5 from $91.5625. An investment banker who studies Microsoft predicts that the company's shares will drop early in the week following the finding, though not by more than ten percent.
