it is quite hard to believe that we have found a company which is profitable and should continue to be profitable trading
1. at 0.83 times book value
2. has $5.5 per share in cash and a debt to equity ratio of 0.07
3. price to sales ratio of less than 1 (i think it is .83 based on last quarter)
4. p/e ratio of < 10 with last quarter alone being +.40
5. after tax profit margins of about 10 percent which gives us an implied p/e of about 7 or 8.

company is in much better shape than most (ie apm) and is extremely undervalued. even with a slowdown, the company will still be profitable and the future looks bright from what i can tell.

also, i have been doing some reading and thinking about their relationship with nsm. this could turn out to be an excellent deal as nsm and cyrx are now one and nsm is into the low cost pc production using cyrx chips. correct me if i am wrong, but would not this setup have positive implications for tower or even prompt nsm to consider aquiring tower for their cash position and products and technology.
just a thought. either way, the outlook for tower looks promising, especially if management can perform.
good luck and long tower.
