Thanks Johnnie for the analyst information. I ran my screens again this week on Zack's - they are value based screens looking for growth - last week MASK showed up. This week MASK was not on the list but DuPont Photomask (DPMI) appeared. Looks like the sector is cheap. Here is my take, biased of course, on MASK: * ALIGN-RITE (MASK) - Growth/PE ratio of 1.2: MASK manufactures and markets photomasks in the United States and Europe. Three analysts have a "strong buy" on MASK, three have a "buy" recommendation, and one has a "hold" recommendation . Based on the consensus earnings estimates for the fiscal year ending 3/98 (note we are well into the fiscal year) the forward price-earnings ratio is 13.2. With an estimated 5 year earnings growth rate of 17% annually the estimated growth rate/forward price-earnings ratio is 1.2 - a strong buy. The price-to-book ratio is 2.2, versus the industry average of 2.5. The market capitalization is $75 million - a microcap. Best - Joe
