<<< Noticed that the number of shares outstanding for Q4 is down by about 10%. This would account for Q4 EPS coming $0.02 ahead of consensus $0.33. Should I be concerned? >>> First, I bet the consensus was for basic earnings and not diluted earnings. If true, EQNX beat estimates by 6 cents. Second, the analysts knew about the share buyback because the company has been publicizing it (as they should). Comment on the revenues: Year over year they are up only 14.5%; last quarter they are up 35%!! That's impressive. The balance sheet is pristine--no long term debt. Look at the cash: 4.32/sh. The stock is not a classical value play with a trailing PE of about 19 and price to sales ratio of 2.6. But good businesses rarely are. Wade
