IPGP. I'll take a few shares as a speculation. Apparently company growth slowing/expected to slow with Chinese competition and that "a weak machine tool market and 'very tough comps' put FY16 guidance at risk".

Company has a lot going for it: profitable every year past ten, high margins, $714M in cash vs. $42M in debt (Yahoo numbers).

As said, company isn't cheap. P/e multiple has come down (not so much p/sales though). I suspect (and will bet a little) that if IPGP could continue to perform, its p/e multiple will go back up (over 20x)
