Rational Software Corp said little more than that it is at ease with analysts’ estimates of $0.14 a share in the June quarter, up 100%. -o- Another one comfortable with estimates is Boole & Babbage Inc president and chief executive Paul Newton, who was referring to the $0.34 a share forecast for the fiscal 1996 third quarter, compared with $0.27 a year ago – Those are the right sort of ranges, Newton told Reuters. Boole has a three- year operating margin target of 13% to 16% of sales, up from 10% in 1995. -o- San Francisco really was a comfort zone in the early part of the week, with Wind River Systems Inc saying that it is comfortable with analysts’ estimates for the first quarter, and the year ending to January. We’re talking profit of $0.13 a share – from $0.07 for the quarter, and Hambrecht & Quist’s own estimate of $0.72 for the year.
