Ann,

Let's do a comparison between IGT and ALLY.

ALLY:
Sales total for 445.1 Millions for the trailing twelve months(TTM).
Shares outstanding 31.9 million.
Float is 11.8 million.
PSR = 0.45

IGT:
Sales total 737.6 Million for the trailing twelve months(TTM).
Shares outstanding = 115.5 M.
Float is 110.9 million.
PSR = 3.37

The important factor is PSR (price to sales ratio).

ALLY is selling at a discount to IGT. Granted the profit margin is slim and they have a negative EPS. Once they can control their operational costs, the profit margin will grow. And thus the postive eps will show up.

Please note that QNTM once traded @ 5 because it had a negative eps. However, their TTM and PSR were comparable to their competitors, WDC and SEG. QNTM was able to increase profit margin...thus increase there EPS. I hope this helps.
