FROM "Disk Drive Sector Discussion Forum " THREAD:

Anybody still care about fundamentals?

SEG's 10Q is out. Nothing particularly interesting, except...

- Book value's about $13/share. More than half is property.
- Bought a million shares last quarter for $34 each.
- As of 10/3, lost $163 million on their currency futures, of which $62 million has already been written off. I re-jiggered the numbers, marking-to-market with current exchange rates. My calculations come up with a loss of $237 million. Is it realistic to believe that SEG will have offsetting cost savings? For edge-of-envelope calculation purposes, this is more than two grand per Seagate employee. The per capita GNP in Thailand is about two grand.
