Alan,
I have been watching this stock closely since its IPO last fall. Its switching products will be important ingredients in the emerging voice over IP industry. As with any new IPO, investors are looking for how stable and consistent earnings will be. XLSW has posted impressive earnings growth for a young company. I am looking for XLSW to settle into a fairly stable trading range for awhile (somewhere around $20) until they establish a repeatable pattern of sales and EPS growth. At that point, more investors will take a closer look. The only other near term concern I have would apply to any recent IPO, like XLSW. What if employees begin cashing in on some of their stock options? Those who do at this time would be nearsighted fools, but someone always wants to buy a new house or a fancy car right away. I don't know if they have to wait 6 months or 12 months after IPO to begin cashing in options.
