O "grande" problema é que isto acabou por disparar uma série de downgrades por parte instituições financeiras. Isto só serviu para apavorar ainda mais os investidores em fuga.

UPDATE: Symantec Tumbles On Weaker Outlook As CFO Departs
By Matt Andrejczak
SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones) -- Symantec Corp. tumbled as much as 20% Wednesday after it issued a weaker sales outlook for its security software products and surprised investors with another resignation in the senior management ranks.
Symantec, the maker of the Norton line of antivirus and security software, blamed its softer sales forecast on the delayed launch of the Norton 2006 line and increased competition in the consumer segment from rivals McAfee Inc. (MFE), Computer Associates International (CA), and Trend Micro Inc. (TMIC).
For the December ending quarter, Cupertino, Calif.-based Symantec estimated sales at $1.263 billion, less than the $1.345 billion average forecast of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call. The forecast excludes special charges stemming from recent acquisitions and other expenses.
The outlook comes amid the resignation of its chief financial officer Greg Myers, who helped orchestrate Symantec's$10.5 billion purchase of Veritas Software, one of the biggest deals in software history.
His resignation, announced at the end of Tuesday afternoon's conference call discussing the company's latest financial results, comes on the heels of the recent departure of former president John Schwarz, who is now the chief executive officer at Business Objects (BOBJ).
"Frankly, we question the timing of this announcement," Susquehanna Financial analyst Gregg Moskowitz wrote in a research note. "This represents something of a 'brain drain' for Symantec with two-thirds of what has been an immensely successful triumvirate no longer with the company."
In late morning trading, Symantec fell $4.45 to $19.55 as Deutsche Bank, A.G. Edwards and Susquehanna Financial downgraded the stock to hold from buy.
Prudential reiterated its overweight rating, saying patient investors should stick it out. It said the company will benefit over the long term from industry consolidation, a broadening product line, and increased demand for storage software.
For the period ended Sept. 30, Symantec (SYMC) swung to a fiscal second- quarter loss of $251.3 million, hurt by expenses related to its acquisition of Veritas Software. That compared with a profit of $135.6 million a year ago.
Sales rose 71% to $1.1 billion, helped by the addition of revenue from Veritas. Operating expenses more than tripled to $1 billion as it accounted for a long list of charges related to the Veritas acquisition and other transactions.
The company said that excluding those charges, it earned 23 cents a share, but that number doesn't conform to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
