To all: Here's a nice little article** on turnarounds...

[excerpts]

"The recent operating history of companies on the cusp of turnaround is usually checkered and their near-term earnings outlook may remain muddled. But there are a few key characteristics to look for which may serve as a harbinger of better days ahead."

"On the income statement, you can calculate the gross and operating profit margins to see whether the company has been able to reduce its costs or raise its prices."

"On the cash flow statement, look to see whether the company is generating stronger levels of cash flow. This area can also tip you off to remaining problems, such as expanding levels of inventory or accounts receivable."

"On the balance sheet, check out whether the company is paying down its debt and if it has sufficient levels of cash to fund a hoped-for expansion."
