Today I did a comparison between AMAT and KLIC The undesputed leaders in front end & back end eqpt. The result makes me even more bullish on KLIC These are the comparisons as of today.
AMAT KLIC
P/E 22.6 14
5 year growth 37% 35%
Price to sales 3.0 1.2
Price to cash flow 16.6 11.2
Price to book 4.4 2.2

I believe both companies dominate their market. I think the difference in pricing is because of size and wall street following. I see KLIC as the AMAT of the back end and feel it should command similar ratios. I understand the big boys will always stick with the big liquid stocks, but I think we deserve a better comparison.
Comments will be deeply appreciated. Long term KLIC holder Don

PS I did this post in Word and it looked god for some reason I can't get the post to look like my original?????? Don
