theflyonthewall.com: MEMC Electronic sees Q4 adjusted EPS view to (17c)-(23c) vs. consensus 1c
Sees Q4 adjusted revenue view to $753M-$792M vs. consensus $807.99M. The estimated non-GAAP EPS range is below the previously estimated range primarily due to solar energy project timing and largely non-cash adverse tax effects associated with world-wide income distribution -- which tax effects impacted both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS. Excluding these unfavorable tax effects, non-GAAP EPS for the quarter is expected to be in the range of (5c) to (11c). :theflyonthewall.com
