Squeak, Re: EZCH valuation / projected earnings..................

Thanks for sharing RG’s projections, which I hadn’t seen.

Per EZCH’s prior presentation (pg 9) there were five firms covering EZCH, all with price targets below the $25.50 offering price. Apparently only one of these firms provided an FY16 revenue / EPS estimate for Yahoo’s site. Most brokerage firms don’t go too far out on a limb with their projections, as opposed to independent companies such as Raging Capital.



Per EZCH-

+ None of the 31 strategic buyers contacted submitted a proposal to acquire EZchip

+ No unsolicited indications of interest were received by either Barclays or EZchip



Since RC and others see much greater value in the company, perhaps they should form a private syndicate and purchase the company at bargain basement prices.



Bottom line, a company is ultimately worth only what buyers are willing to pay in a free market place.
