Everyone, I may be wrong about this assessment so if I am please correct me and forgive me. Take a look at SMTL (Semitool). I was under the impression that they are in the same business as FSI. If that is the case, take a look at the earnings projections for the company, both for this quarter and beyond. It sure does not look like a slow down for them. My question would be, why are there earnings still in the positive and have a higher rating for analysts covering the stock. By the way, the information I am using comes from the research section of Yahoo Quotes. Is SMTL spending money and committed to product development for the 300m technoloy like FSI? Or are they just pocketing the money.

The scarey thing here is that based on the earnings projection, FSI's current PE ratio is actually quite high and therefore, this stock is actually overvalued right now. Unless there is a buyout on the horizon, this stock does not have much to live for in the next 6 months. I think we could very easily see $12 again in the next couple of months based on eps projections. If I was looking for new investments, this is not a stock that would be on the top of my list.
