Yes, so I see.
However ... if I may say so, those 3 companies, CLS, SLR and FLEX are "not much to write home about" !!
CLS hasn't made a Bottom Line profit in its last 5 Annuals.
SLR hasn't made a Bottom Line profit in 4 out of 5 of its last Annuals. It's last Annual Result showed a very poor $3.4mil. Net Income from a Gross T/O of over $10441mil.,
and FLEX only managed to show Bottom Line profits in the last 2 years, but its last Bottom Line was less than 42% of the previous year.
Based on its current, comparative Fundamentals, I suspect NTE is likely to do better than those 3 companies, "going forward", especially if it can increase Turnover while also improving its Op. Margin.
Needless to say, in reply to your comment in #18, NTE's Turnover may very well increase in the next Quarterly, but that's no guarantee that its percentage Operating Margin will go up in parallel.
As a matter of interest, are you able to tell me which web site has the stock screening criteria that is used in the "Oberweis Octagon" screen ?
I'd be interested to find screening criteria such as "Growth Rate in EPS from Continuing Operations over the last 4 Quarters", and similarly for "pretax income" etc.. etc.. |
