Tom Engibous, chief executive of Texas Instruments, said Tuesday he remains comfortable with the company's previous guidance that fourth-quarter sales will be roughly the same as those in the third quarter. TI's chip sales are expected to be up slightly this quarter from last, partly because of strong demand for chips for cable modem and digital subscriber lines. Combined, that business should generate $100 million in revenue this year and several times that level next year, Engibous said in a speech at the Credit Suisse First Boston technology conference in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Autoweb said Thursday it may be in danger of being delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market--possibly joining one of hundreds of companies that have slipped off the influential market as the economy cools. Stock in the Santa Clara, Calif.-based online automobile seller will continue to trade on the exchange for now, but management is considering "strategic options to maximize shareholder value"--including acquisition.

The company, which received a Nasdaq Staff Determination notice last week, has filed a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Qualifications Panel to review the staff determination. The hearing is likely to occur in the next 45 days. The company has retained Credit Suisse First Boston as its financial adviser.

Shareholders have sued Gadzoox Networks, alleging that the maker of networking equipment issued false statements when describing its 1999 initial public offering. Law firm Schiffrin & Barroway said Gadzoox and IPO underwriters Credit Suisse First Boston and BancBoston Robertson Stephens "solicited and received undisclosed commissions" from some investors in exchange for shares in the IPO. Gadzoox was not immediately available for comment.

In addition, Gadzoox on Friday named David Eichler chief financial officer and Kristin Strout vice president of human resources. The company has been in turmoil and is banking on a new switch but missed financial estimates in April. In May, fund manager Galleon Group invested $14.8 million in Gadzoox.
