Palm plunges on woeful sales forecast
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Palm Inc.'s shares fell sharply in premarket trading Friday after the company posted dramatically smaller losses but offered a lower-than-expected revenue forecast and said smartphones sales to consumers fell short of expectations.
The wireless device maker's stock plunged as much as 18% in premarket trading.
Inventory of Palm's (PALM 4.62, -1.03, -18.23%) latest smartphones has built up at wireless carriers, and the company expects future sales to be weak until it can clear out the channels.
