Unisys declines after loss warning

Article Abstract:

Unisys Corporation stated that it expects a fourth-quarter 2004 loss of 7 to 10 cents a share, rather than the profit of 27 to 31 cents it had previously estimated. According to them, the reason behind it is that an outsourcing contract went bad and due to an accounting change.
