Some Comparision between ARPT, FFIV, FDRY, and ATON

Revenues
ARPT 1.9M to 3.7M to 6.0M to 9.5M Mar00
ATON 7.9M to 12.8M to 17.1M to 28.2M Mar00
FFIV 7.6M to 13.7M to 19.2 to 23.6 Mar00
FDRY 24.1M to 38.9M to 55.1M to 70.0M Mar00

EPS
ARPT (0.15) to (0.56) Mar00
ATON (0.45) to (1.20) to (0.11) to (0.03)Mar00
FFIV (0.10) to 0.11 to 0.18 to 0.18Mar 00
FRDY 0.06 to 0.14 to (0.04) to 0.14 Mar00

ARPT
Price/Book (mrq) 103.39
Price/Earnings N/A
Price/Sales (ttm) 20.93
Market Capitalization $4.37B

ATON
Market Capitalization $2.19B
Price/Book (mrq*) 21.27
Price/Earnings N/A
Price/Sales (ttm) 18.28

FFIV
Market Capitalization $679.2M
Price/Book (mrq) 8.99
Price/Earnings (ttm) 93.47
Price/Sales (ttm) 9.26

FDRY
Price/Book (mrq) 37.52
Price/Earnings (ttm) 210.91
Price/Sales (ttm) 42.56
Market Capitalization $7.84B

No matter how it sliced, the valuation for FFIV is cheap. Should easily be a $75 stock or higher. If CSCO is paying 5.7B for ARPT, then FFIV is easily a $60 if the lowest denominator of price to sales is used. If marketcap to sales, EPS, or Price/book is used then FFIV is over $100.

The number crunchers should figure it out and funds should buy in next week.
