Looks like a hidden jewel. Great earnings, great top and bottom line growth, a PE under 15 (TTM earnings $3.35/share), great chart, 80% owned by VSH, very small float - less than 2 million shares, off over 13% from its recent all time high, has better than doubled this year, 52 week range $12 to $52, spread can often get large, but can be bought between the spread.
Stock: 10M auth., 9.959680 issd. Insiders less than 1%; VSH owns ~80%. IPO 6/79, 300,000 shares @ $17 5/8 by DLJ. 2-for-1 stock split, 2/86. (As of 12/98) LT debt: $50.6M @ 6.25%, $1.2M @ undisclosed rate.
Found this by accident: my daughter picked it (almost at random - she had heard me talk about "Silicon something" and thought this was it - she was thinking about SI) for a high school Eco project...she beat up on the rest of the class.
After some DD, decided to buy it myself.
