<< I hate to belabor this but PSR is a more important metric than PE. CIEN's PSR is about 14, compared to about 2.5 for LU >> CIEN's PSR used to be 14 but it's 10 now. << Sales are much more difficult to manipulate than earnings. >> Precisely! LU sales aren't growing all that fast! CIEN's sales are growing quite fast. LU has had impressive earnings gains due to cost-cutting and layoffs and other gizmos while CIEN has driven earnings growth by growing sales and hiring more people. Two different styles I guess. I know you don't want to hear it over and over again but my argument still stands. Sticking to low PSR ratios would keep you out of greats like MSFT, C$CO, and TLAB. COMS is an example of a company that has a low PSR and they are going lower. No method is totally perfect.
