GTI Corp sees rise in Q4 revenue: GTI Corp said it expects fourth- quarter revenues will be better than the $10.2 million of revenues it recorded in its third quarter. "Based on improved orderentry in recent weeks, the company believes revenues will be somewhat higher in the fourth quarter of 1998 as compared to the third quarter of 1998," the company said in a statement. GTI Monday reported a third quarter loss of $4 million, or $0.46 a share, on revenues of $10.2 million compared to a loss $1.5 million, or $0.17 a share, on revenues of $19.1 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. The company attributed the lower revenues in the latest quarter to lower unit volumes resulting from customer uncertainty related to its pending acquisition by a unit of Technitrol. The acquisition is scheduled to close by November 16. GTI makes magnetics-based components for signal processing and power transfer equipment.
