Another Secondary, PSEM. PSEM in not an equipment maker, but a specialized chip-maker.

I have seen news on academic study to have found stock splits were a somewhat positive indicator, on the theory that management could better see positive or negative developments some 1-2 quarters ahead, and would not split before a downfall in business. While a follow-on offering might mean issuing more shares, I would think it would indicate the opposite from management, that the price is too high, when the company finds it better to sell stock than to take on debt (and you're buying that stock on margin!?)

Excerpts from the PSEM news release:

"Pericom Semiconductor is planning a follow-on offering of 2.2 million shares [current float is 9.68m shares] in hopes of raising $78.5 million. . . ."
"The San Jose, Calif.-based company plans to use the financing for research and development, working capital and general corporate purposes, according to the Form S-3 registration . . . ."
"Pericom Semiconductor develops high-performance interface integrated circuits used in advanced electronic systems."
