IPO was at $12.

It is my view that both the recent analysts will be right in their upgrade and downgrade, believe it or not. A G Edwards did visit the company before their (high professional risk) upgrade and I had read to me some of the report.

They also feel that the recovery will be a bit slower than expected.
However, the company is still comfortable with Street estimates of $1.30 to $1.50 for 1998. Edwards view is that a year from now we will be looking at a good 1999 on top of a recovery 1998, with the stock approaching double the $14 recommendation price. However, as R-S said, it is cause for concern that the recovery may be slower than expected.
They appear to be taking a short term view. (But the stock is $15, not $25.)

I believe that on a Price/Sales, Price/Book, or Price/Earning Power
basis ACTM offers the value investor very good opportunity up to about
$20. However, the stock is quite volatile and patience will probably be required. CEO Pino owns more than half the stock and is a very sound guy - he will do what it takes.
