Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) reported earnings for the first quarter on Wednesday after the bell. The technology company devoted to programmable logic said sales fell by 5% on a sequential basis and by 23% on a year-over-year basis. Not a great start to an earnings report, huh? It gets worse. On an adjusted basis, Xilinx made 21 cents per share versus 31 cents per share in the first quarter of fiscal '09. According to TheStreet.com, that 21 cents was good for a beat by two pennies.
Today, however, the market doesn't seem to be feeling the performance. As of this writing, afternoon trading saw shares of Xilinx bid down by over 3.5% on very heavy volume.
